1. What is your gender and age?

22 years, going on 23, female ^-^

2. Where did you find out about Tailor Tales?

I was browsing on itch.io hoping to find some cool games with some hot and appealing dudes. And here I am xD

3. Is the art style appealing to you, or did it take some convincing?

Yeah, definitely. I had no second thoughts. I saw it, I insta clicked on it. I love the art style and the love interests are just dreamy.

4. Which (available) character is your favourite?

I really love Neil's route (didn't try Dimitri's route yet). I have a thing for guys that seem unapproachable at first. With those types, the route always turns out to be fluffy when the guy falls in love with the MC (with me) *grins*

5. What’s your favourite scene?

Would be too much saying I loved that scene where they were all over each other in the MC's Boutique? That was pretty darn nice xD

6. What’s your favourite CG?

I would say all were nice but the one I enjoyed the most was when Neil tried to hide himself behind his laptop, coffee scene xD Btw, the moving eyes are just sooo cute, I don't usually see characters moving in visual novels. That is a big plus.

7. Which character would you like to be available next?

Trying to decide between James and Aiden. In a sense, James looks like the type I usually go for in games, stoic and cold hearted at first. But I think Aiden's route would be nice for a change. Reading Aiden's info, I can imagine all the confusion with the catfish part etcetera xD So I think it would be pretty entertaining.
8. How many fierce points and how many kind points did you get at the end of each route?

Welp, I went for Innocent route, got way more kind points that fierce points. What can I say....I am pretty tolerant xD fierce here and there, mostly nice, I felt bad being rude all the times xD

9. How much tailoring experience and gold did you end up having at the end?

10 gold and 3k experience. Well, I went right for the story once I got the necessary amount of gold. Eager to find out what happens. Please do not judge x_X I wanted to ask tho, what is the max gold received for exp?

10. Was it difficult getting gold to purchase the chapters, or was it easy?

It was relatively easy, I think it was a decent amount giving the fact that your gold increases with the experience. I can't complain on this even tho sometimes, I wish it was a lower amount for the stories cause....excited to see what happens next.

11. Was it difficult re-creating garments that were important clients?
I.e. the masquerade dress, Angela’s dress, or the opera dress.

Nah, not really, that's for the important clients part. But getting the color right and the pattern was quite a hassle. Being the lazy person than I am, I screenshoted the design and got it in Paint then just browsing in the store for things that matched. But, I must say, the patterns in shop, especially the floral ones with all the entwining, aren't really obvious. Meaning...in the shop, those patterns seemed alike. It was just a trial and error. Saving and buying one, checking and then loading if I bought the wrong one. Hey, that pattern was expensive when you get like 100 gold at first xD I could have did more tailoring, yeah, but I was more into story so I was just trying to jump to were I left off.

Something that I found unsettling is that Angela's dress was a shade of orange with some grunge effect (btw, all the orange shades gave me a headache, at some point I was like: yeah...it is 50 gold anyway, let's buy them all, fack this xD ). But in the story, after showing her the dress it was said to be a red color?? And I remember Angela saying, before making the dress, that she wanted a red(or it was gold) or black dress, or something. Maybe I misunderstood and misremember? Sadly, I didn't gave too much importance then, not loading again to double check, but I am 70% positive that I didn't misremember (I am sorry for the 30% if I am not right -_-" )

12. Favourite aspect of the game?

I think the idea with designing clothes is a nice and refreshing idea. Being stuck in a visual novel only following choices and plot, not working up for anything else...it gets a little boring after a time. So, I really, really liked the concept in this one, like I said, it is pretty refreshing (even tho the routes are so entertaining that I just want to jump straight to them). Also, the romance is super fluffy and my heart went "doki doki" when a ....hot scene was going on xD But not only this, the interactions between characters was ok, it felt pretty natural. Also, I like the jump to certain chapters part <3

13. What do you think of Joselina, the MC?

I like her style xD Trolling, joking, confused, indecisive, doubtful, happy, in love, I felt them all xD I think her dialogue was alright and the MC isn't some merry go round kind of character xD She has personality. A big thumbs up for her and for the ones that made this game possible ^^

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have some slight comments: I thing doing more save slots would be a great feature. It doesn't need to be too many. At least 3 would be enough, I would say. In the actual game, I would like to go for the Innocent ending and also for the fierce one and I rather get a savepoint from where I can try going on another route. Like...getting Innocent ending first and then loading from a point and change all my replies from then on, more fierce than kind to get the other ending. In the beta, I needed to save at all the times cause in design mode I encountered a bug, I think others mentioned it, when you just couldn't click Finish. It simply didn't want to work. I basically got stuck there, neither Return button worked at that point and the only thing to do was to exit and load the game again. (would head to the bug thread and get a bit more detailed about this bug and other bugs I noticed). Anyway, the point is I wished to have another slot xD Also, I really wish for a skip button to be implemented (umm, there wasnt a skip button right? I am sorry if it was but I didn't notice....). So far. I was jumping over dialogue (when it was already read) with space...space...space xDDD

Also, regarding designs, some designs were simply like "wtf, what shade is this?", especially when there were resembling and close enough colors like...on a dress I had yellow/orange with a shade of yellow pattern. Giving that the pattern is small, it was a task of trial and error to get the design right xD I was like "I think it is this one....*got denied*....nope, maybe something darker? *denied intensifies* my last chance *message with gold and exp* yey, got it!!"

Thank you for playing!

First let's go to the bugs; you're the second person to mention you couldn't click "Finished" when designing. Do you remember if you were creating a dress, or was it another design? Was it in Clients mode, Freestyle, or both? Are you running version 1.3.1 (click on the FAQ to check)?

Also, to make things easier for you; you don't need the exact shade of colour to complete the designs! Colours are grouped into main colours, so you've got your blues, reds, yellows, greens, etc. It doesn't matter if you need a dark orange or a light orange colour, both of them will count :)

To skip dialogue, hold down your left mouse button, or hold down the space key, this should speed you through it.

As for having more save files, that would be a no. It's okay though, you can still achieve what you'd like to do! The game runs on a single save file and you can always switch character routes whenever you'd like, and re-read chapters you've unlocked. When you've finished an ending, you'll be prompted with the choice to read from Chapter 25 again where the route diverts to read the other ending and unlock it. If you choose no, you can always go back to chapter 25 yourself later on to get the different ending. This way you can get all of the CGs and all of the endings without much hassle.

You still need to pay for the chapters you haven't read yet though!

Also, you're correct that Angela's dress is gold, but the dialogue says red. I got it fixed now :)

Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed playing through Neil's route! Dimitri might be less to your liking since he's not cold or aloof at all, but give him a try either way!

Thanks for replying! ^-^ Feels nice I could help <3

Okay so, the bug happened in Clients mode (yeah, it is the latest beta version: 1.3.1). Freestyle was ok, no problems there for me. Tbh, that happened like...for the first clients I had. Progressing in the game and doing clients' requests, I noticed I didn't encountered the bug anymore. The thing I noticed was that at one point, I couldn't get the client request right, something like, tried 3 times to finish but there was always something wrong at one point, when I was so sure I got it right this time, pressed Finish and it just froze. Tried Return, no action. What was interesting was that the design mode still worked, I could switch between dresses and colors, but the buttons Finish/Return, nope xD

Regarding the shades...really? :-O I am actually trying it right now and it works, lmao, I lived in a lie xDD But I think it happened cause at some point, for normal clients, sometimes, only the exact shade of that color happened to work so from that point I tried to match even shades. Maybe this is a topic for bug discussion but here a design that is completely matching but for a reason, I still get the warning that it is not what the client wants --> a client named Sakura...if that helps? xD

Oh, I got it now. Thanks for the skip and save input. I didn't exactly understand how it worked.

P.S. Don't worry tho, Dimitri won't escape me *evil laugh*

Alright, thank you for clarifying. I hope I can replicate the bug because it's so rare, but I don't want people to be stuck in the design screen.

As for the screenshot - that is a legitimate bug that's been recorded by many others so far. Sometimes the design you make, even if it matches perfectly, won't be accepted. Has nothing to do with the exact shade of colour ;) It's not very common, but can happen every once in a while! Thankfully this is fixed in the next update.

Don't worry, I never explicitly told the player you don't need the exact shade of a colour to complete a client - it's just something running in the background for the people that don't have the best eyesight and aren't able to see the differences between the shades all that well.
