Unfortunately, never, I'm sorry! I don't want to release content for OS when I know it's buggy and I can't fix it. Mac is just very unfriendly towards third party developers, and Tailor Tales relies on changing its own files (to create clothes and save files), and Mac simply blocks that, rendering the game unplayable.
The game has not been tested on Windows 11, so that may be why. However, I've known people who are able to run Tailor Tales on Windows 11, so the OS shouldn't be an issue. It's most likely a hardware issue. Tailor Tales does require 8GB of RAM.
Have you tried testing and launching the game via Steam? Sometimes that helps.
You will get a Windows-only version when pledging to the Patreon. There is no Mac release for the Patreon. So even though it works for you right now, there is no Mac version being released on Patreon.
This is about the Patreon version, which has the added perk of owning all the items from the store, and thus the stores are empty. You already own them :)
Transferring save files between platforms won't work; only within the same platform. So transferring your Steam save file to the Itch version is going to give you this error. You will have to start a new game.
The only way you'd get stuck there is if you're playing the Mac version - are you? Tailor Tales was made for Windows, and doesn't officially support Mac. The Mac version blocks Tailor Tales from editing files, so it cannot create and save a new character image during the customization.
Downloadable content. It means extra content to the main game, in this case, you will receive the characters' Plus content. Plus content is all the 18+ sexual content not released in the free version, and an additional side story. DLC for Tailor Tales is paid.
Yep I see the confusion here. You first joined Patreon in March 2022, when 19 chapters of Gray were released.
You then pledged again in July 2023, but never ended up updating the game, or didn't enter in the password of that month to unlock the new content. Hence why you never got the updated content!
I will send you an email with further instructions.
If you were a Patreon a while ago, then it must have been at the time where Gray's chapters 1 through 18 were out. That's the content you paid for, regardless whether Gray is now completely finished. The Patreon model is that you get the content you pledged for, and if you want more content, you'll have to pledge again. Hence why it probably said there's no more content, because this is where you stopped.
If you want to play Gray's route fully, you can play the free version on Itch or Steam, or pledge to the Patreon once more to get Gray's full route and his Plus content, as well as Aiden's full route.
However, if you say Gray's route was finished at the time, you can hand over your e-mail so I can check which month and year you were pledged so I can make sure and sort things out.
If the patterns are wonky, you can go into your Tailor Tales Folder, and browse to: Tailor Tales/www
In that folder should be a file called package-NoWebGL.json and a file called package.json. Rename the file package.json to something else, like package-old.json. And rename package-NoWebGL.json to package.json so that the game uses this file instead. Then reload the game.
Hopefully this should make patterns appear for you.
The customization part rarely works on Mac versions, hence why I don't officially support it. The game is trying to save and overwrite an image when you customize your character, but Mac doesn't allow third party apps to make such changes to your files, so it's being blocked.
If you mean you placed it in the recycling/trash, then you can still get it out. If you mean you started a new save file, overwriting your old one, then it's a bit trickier.
If you played the new save file and choose a character and started reading a chapter, your old save file is gone forever.
However, if you didn't start a new route and never read any chapters and didn't customize any clothes, bought any items etc. then your back-up save file might still be intact.
Only switch to your back-up under my instructions. 1. Open the location of your Tailor Tales folder and browse to this location: Tailor Tales > www > save 2. There is a file in there called file1.rpgsave and that is your main file. Rename it to something else, such as "file1_old.rpgsave". 3. There's another file in there called file3.rpgsave and this is your back-up file. Rename the back-up file to file1.rpgsave to set it as your main file. 4. Open up the game and load your manual save file; you should now be running from your back-up file. that's only if you don't see your old save file/progress
If you installed the game through the Itch app, then the new update will allow you to continue playing with your old save file.
If you have a standalone version on your PC instead, then you must manually update it. Download the latest Tailor Tales version, and then find the location of your old Tailor Tales. Place the newly downloaded Tailor Tales in your old location and overwrite all files. That should have updated your save file.
Okay, I'll need to give you a file that you can replace in the game, is it possible for you to get on Tailor Tales' Discord and say something in the tech-support channel? Then I can give you that file and see if it works.
So reading these errors, it's shader related, and it seems like you've run out of memory to play Tailor Tales. That update really changed some things around.
I think I may have a workaround, but let me know if reinstalling it worked or not.
In that case, something definitely happened to one of the files in the game (not your save file, hopefully!), so follow the instructions I said above to keep your save file intact as you reinstall the game.
Before you reinstall, I'd like to get your Last Error.txt file. It's located in: Tailor Tales/www. There should be a text file in there called Last Error. If you could open it up and copy its contents in your post, that'd be great!
You can preserve your save data by going to your old Tailor Tales folder, and copying these folders: Tailor Tales/www/save and Tailor Tales/www/data/img/pictures/Fashion/Completed. Copy these current folders and place them somewhere else as you install the latest version. Once reinstalled, replace the new folders with the ones you copied. That should keep your save file intact as you get the latest game version.
Does this happen as soon as you open the game, or only when trying to load a save file?
I think this is a system error and you may need to reinstall Tailor Tales completely. You can preserve your save data by copying these folders: Tailor Tales/www/save and Tailor Tales/www/data/img/pictures/Fashion/Completed. Copy these current folders and place them somewhere else as you reinstall the game. Once reinstalled, replace the new folders with the ones you copied. That should keep your save file intact as you reinstall the game.
Hmm, seems like an outdated file! I'll be uploading a fix for that. In the meantime, you can still finish the important client despite deviating away from the guide.
Tailor Tales is receiving updates every month, but those updates are a Patreon exclusive. Once a route has been completed, the free version is updated :)
Sounds like it wasn't extracted properly on your computer, so the game experienced a wide array of issues, including being unable to save.
Since you stated you had it extracted it after all, I'm going to suggest playing Tailor Tales on Steam where it installs it for you. There shouldn't be any issues there.
Unfortunately only the colours change, not your hairstyles etc. that's not something I was able to do as it meant redrawing every CG with different hairstyles, and I would never be done lol.
They are clasps, and can be found in the story under the category jackets, it's the final 'button' icon.
