1. Are you enjoying Neil's route, do you still like him/hate him?

I am enjoying Neil's route. He kind of reminds me of Mr. Darcy, then he started reminding me of one of my own characters so I can't help but love him now. ~~Plus he's a tsundere and I love tsuns.~~

2. How many fierce and kind points did you score for Neil?

I can't remember.... I think it was 10 fierce and 20 kind?

3. How long did it take you to finish Neil's first 20 chapters?

I think it was about 5 hours....

4. What are your thoughts on Dimitri?

Let's just say if there was a "Marry me" choice I would have chosen it in the 2nd chapter.... if it wasn't creepy to be saying that to a teen anyway. *nervous laugh* ~~He's totally my type plus he can bake and works at a cat cafe? How perfect can you get?~~

5. How long did it take you to finish Dimitri's first 3 chapters?

Less than an hour I think... or about an hour.... I didn't design any clothes between the chapters like I did with Neil's. But I spent like five minutes each chapter squealing over him.

6. Who's your favourite guy out of Neil and Dimitri?

Dimitri! <3

7. What's your favourite CG?

Dimitri holding the kitty. :3

8. What's your favourite chapter or scene?

All scenes with Dimitri. And the scene where you're measuring Neil.

9. Which part made you actually feel happy/angry/flustered?

I squealed all through Dimitri's scenes. And there were times I wanted to hit Neil with a mannequin and tell him to shut up. Like when he's being completely arrogant or when he was demanding money for his watch... or pushing you away...

10. What did you like more, creating clothes, dressing up the avatar, or reading the story?

All of them equally? What made me download the game was the designing clothes and dressing up but I'm really enjoying the story so far.

11. Even though Neil and Dimitri are the only two available options right now, who else are you interested in?

Cain~

12. Overall comments about the game? Art? Writing? You name it!

I stayed up until 5-6am two nights in a row playing. I LOVE IT! I can NOT wait to get more. The art and writing are really good and I've always wanted to design my own clothes.
I think for the details-the bows and such-it should be a set color choice like with everything else because it is impossible to match the colors I wanted with the slider. It's nice to have more color choices but when I wanted, say, a light mint I couldn't get the color right.

Also, will you be adding the accessories in later versions?

And I can't design pants/shorts? They're not showing up when I click in to create them...

Thank you for playing and the feedback!

Seems you came for the clothes and stayed for the story haha. You should show off some of your designs! Just go to Outfit, click the camera icon in the top left, pick a background and click "done" in the top right, and it should generate a screenshot in your Screenshots folder where the game is :)

Dimitri is a cutie, isn't he? I'd love to be able to add more chapters for him in the next update, but I'm mostly focused on Neil at the moment. I can add up and until chapter 5 for Dimitri though :)

As for your suggestion about the colours, that's unfortunately not possible. You can try the set colours for the details above the sliders, they're closely matched with the first 10 default colours. Unfortunately I cannot use the same colours you use on the clothing as on the details. This is mostly because you can add like a 1000 details in one single image, and giving it the same colour involves masking, and that would pretty much crash your game haha. So I did it the simple way: tinting it. This doesn't strain the processor :)

You can create all colours with the sliders though! It just takes a bit of practice.

There will definitely be more items later on, accessories - even flapping butterfly wings at one point. They're just on low priority at the moment. Next update shouldn't have anything new added, since I'm focused on Neil's route.

In the current version the bottoms are bugged and you cannot design them. It'll be fixed in the next version!

Of course! And thank you for making this!

Yes you can say that I came for clothes and stayed for the story. ^^ I've shared my designs with my best friend (she downloaded the game too:) and also posted them on Facebook.... I'll post some of them on the thread a little later, though.

Aww, I want more Dimitri (especially domestic type scenes) but after replaying Neil's chapters I can't wait to ~~torture~~ tease Neil more.

I see... Yeah, wouldn't want it crashing all the time! I will stick with the slider thing then... I am getting better at it and can now at least match my favorite color.

Oooo butterfly wings?! My best friend and I are going to have a lot of fun with those. I figured that was the case but wanted to confirm it... I understand focusing on one thing, I have too many projects I want to have done Now so I'm all over the place with them. *sigh*

I'm really excited about how this game will turn out, keep up the awesome work! ^^ I do have one more question/suggestion, are you going to add boots? A cute pair of booties would be a nice addition and would go well with some of the dresses I've created.

Aw, I'm happy you're sharing the game. I worked really hard on the clothing design system (and paid a buttload of money for it), so I love it when people share designs. Eventually I might ask people to design something for me, and I will turn it into an actual outfit that will be added to the game :)

I've got so many shoes ideas in my head, and I actually did draw some boots. Can't remember why I didn't add them ... oh wait I remember, they were really ugly and I didn't feel like fixing them. Ahaha. I'll add some boots to the next update. Feel free to spam me with pictures for accessories ideas, I do like knowing what my players want to see in the game. Same thing for the kind of patterns you'd like.

And thank you! Next update should be in August, since I'm back working in full swing - the game now has shops where you can buy all the items from, and you can design clothes for clients to earn money. Don't worry; I will add an option so that all clothing items are available to you, but I prefer it if people were to test the game having to work for the items.

Ahh, I have so many domestic type scenes planned for Dimitri, I actually had to cut them down because it was getting a bit too much. Hopefully I can add two more chapters for the next update.
