Hair colours should not have been changed - you simply cannot give your character any other hair colour besides brown, dark brown, black, blonde, red or white for the CGs. But changing on your avatar should work as intended.
Do you mean to say that when you click on Outfit, the colours for the hair/eyes is limited still?
Sorry you have to be more clear than that:
Are you saying there's less colours available when you're using the Outfit option to dress up your avatar? Because all colours should be available when you use Outfit to dress up.
Colours are only limited when creating a character. Please let me know if when you click on Outfit, you still only see a select few colours for hair/eyes.
It's no problem, I didn't think anything of it but yes, there were more color options for hair and eyes. When I downloaded v1.4 and answered yes to continue where I left off, I still had all those options. I bought some new hairstyles, went to change my avatar, and poof, the game corrected itself and went to limited amount you said are only supposed to be available. It's only hair and eye color that changed and I didn't know anything was wrong on my end or anything.
So I just clicked on outfit for the first time and all the correct options were there. I think I assumed that button was only for your clothes (but then I just my clothes in the looks as well, idk. I'm usually playing the game when it's late). Anyways, because I was intending to work on clients and buy everything before working on outfits, I never pressed the button. Anyways, sorry for the trouble but I hope I shed some light on whatever is occurring for you.
Yeah as I suspected, nothing is wrong :p
Everything is working as intended. You get limited colours when you click "Looks" because that affects CGs. But you have all the colours available when you click "Outfits". Changing your looks is for people that want to change hair/eye/skin colour in their CGs.
Sorry, none yet, but hopefully this month still :)
First the current Windows build needs to be stable and without bugs before I can release the Mac version (which doesn't get hotfixes because I'm not the one creating the Mac version). I'm going to wait a bit longer and see if anyone else comes up with more bug reports.
Oh no ... that's some bad news to hear. That certain clothes aren't being accepted despite you making them exactly as the example. My programmer re-wrote the entire code for that section to fix it, but I guess the bug remains :(
How many times did this happen to you? Do you know if it was on a certain category or not? For example, was it dresses?
And if you find any typos, please take a screenshot, that would most definitely help me out!
It was only a couple of times, I was working on a dress with patterns both times. I canceled out of the task and reloaded it, made the dress again, and the issue was gone. Maybe it had gotten fixed already because it was smooth sailing after those two attempts.
I can definitely take screenshots of any typos. I'll do that when I get to play again soon (after I get work out of the way, haha)!
Sure thing. I just remembered that the other time was actually a pair of shorts, just plain green shorts with no patterns or anything, just the color, but the game said it wasn't what client wanted. So I did the cancel-reload thing. If it turns out to be a fluke or my eyes just deceiving me, that would be great, hahaha! (Also, I was playing offline when I had those issues, and now that I am online again the game is downloading an update...maybe this update has the fix?)
Here's the link to the save file, hope you can access it.
Hey there! I did try to keep in mind that some people would be colourblind and cannot see the difference between hues as much. That's why I added a hidden element to the colours; they're all grouped into base colours and they're the ones you start out with (with the exception of brown, I believe). Purchasing more colours is pretty much optional.
So you don't need to find the exact shade of yellow, because all dark/light yellows are grouped as 'yellow'.
Of course, if a client generates an orange dress with a red pattern, it would probably be hard to see for you. I can try and exclude the colour orange from ever being used in a random client if this would help out.
Eventually Tailor Tales will be released with a premium option; it will have adult content along with the fact that you start out with all the items and all chapters unlocked so you don't need to grind for money. Of course, the premium version will cost money, but it would probably work out for you since you just want to enjoy the story without all the hassle :)
That is actually a very clever way to do it, especially since those base colors are relatively easy to differentiate, even for me. I'll admit that some patterns were a slight issue, but not enough to be worthy of complaining.
Knowing that I don't have to match an exact shade really does eliminate the problem. I can't speak for others, but for me personally, there is no need to go in a program the patterns to exclude certain colors. While the patterns may not jump out at me as much as those with normal eyes, I could usually see them when I looked closely (the most difficult to notice were on smaller pieces of clothing, such as certain shoulders/arms) but even if I can't see the problem and I can't get one outfit, I can always refuse the client and get another, thus really no issue at all.
While it is true I got this game to play the story, I really enjoyed the "grind" (I use quotations because it did not feel like a grind at all). Heck, I only mentioned the color issue because I MISSED being able to make outfits for clients in the end game. None of the items were excessively expensive (especially at endgame (of the current beta) where I was getting like 800 coins per outfit). The chapters were also cheap, and the payment from the required outfits was very generous. I would actually like to complement you on the integration of it. You obviously put a lot of time into the programming behind the fashion system/boutique and it is fair to make players use it (especially since each chapter only costs like 3 or so outfits to unlock, not some ungodly high number) I was unlocking hairstyles, patterns, and other items not needed to progress the story for the fun of it. If each route has as many chapters as Neil, I'd argue you could charge for the base game, not just the premium option due to the amount of content available. So do give yourself more credit lol, many adjectives come to mind when thinking about this game and the way you implemented the boutique and "hassle" is definitely not one of them :)
That's the unfortunate thing with beta releases; you cannot bring over save files. This is because each release has a lot of major core changes, so your save file simply wouldn't work right. When Tailor Tales is out of beta and released as an actual demo, then you can keep your progress and all of your outfits.
Until then, each beta you have to start over. However, I do give previous beta players some starting gold and exp.
Aw thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me. I'm happy you gave the game a shot despite still being in development.
I guess it's a good thing you went in with low expectations - those kissing scenes were probably a very nice surprise ;)
I recently finished writing Neil's epilogue for Tailor Tales+ (the paid portion of the game to unlock 18+ scenes plus the final CG), which is a glorious 13k words long chapter filled with detailed smut (you think my makeout scenes were long? Hah!). Hopefully you will consider supporting me and pay for Tailor Tales+ to read Neil's sexy epilogue :D
The free version gets a shorter and cleaner cut of the epilogue. I can't yet give out a timeline of when this version will be released, as I'll have to make a lot of preparations and work out some kinks with the save file.
Anyways, thanks a lot for your feedback!
Hey there! I am hard at work every day (check my Twitter for constant updates), but Tailor Tales is nowhere near done. I am planning to release the next update when Dimitri's route is complete, which also means the paid version will be released simultaneously. No ETA, though it will definitely be this year.
If you want to support however, I am planning a Kickstarter of some sorts in the upcoming months, so just keep an eye out on my blog :) in the meantime you could spread the word of Tailor Tales and get your friends to play it as well!
Aw thank you so much for your feedback, I'm very happy you enjoyed yourself and the romance.
I'm in a longterm relationship myself, but you know as much as I do that the butterflies and excitement is long gone - but that's why I play otome games, to get that feeling back again! I'm glad you feel the same way and that my game hit the right spot for you.
You will probably enjoy the next release for Tailor Tales then, it will not only include Dimitri's entire route, but also Neil's epilogue and a new kissing CG for Neil (which will show up in chapter 20). Of course, this will take a while to release, but I'm working hard every day! :D
Thanks for playing the game!
Thanks for playing! :)
A hidden feature in the important clients is that you don't need to buy any extra colours at all, you can create all requests with the default colours. They're all grouped into main colours, so all reds, greens, blues, yellows etc. will be accepted. This was put in place for people who are genuinely colour blind.
Welcome to the dark side, Dimitri is best boy <3
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed playing as the MC though! It's certainly something I wanted for sure in my game; being able to actually choose something a little more snappy than what you're used to in otome. Without being punished for it - that's a major point.
You're free to join the official Discord channel as I tend to post my progress on Tailor Tales there, as well as spoilers on Dimitri's route (which is very far in development!).
The next public release should have a few updated CGs, as well as an extra CG for Neil (in chapter 20). And hopefully, it should have Dimitri's full route, though that's still up in the air!
He certainly is very lovable indeed! Such a cute little fluffball >-<
Oh, definitely, major plus points there! Any time I get to use sarcasm and actually put people in their place in otome games without having to deal with a bad end or wrong choice consequences I feel so satisfied. There's no reason why MC's should constantly have to be sweet, nice, quiet, polite and meek with no real personality and that they should just let anyone treat them however they want without any protest or comeback, it's so hindering and frustrating because I am a very snarky and straight-forward girl myself so that just makes it extra difficult having to bite my tongue!
Oh yay! I cannot wait to romance that tall, gorgeous glass of yumminess ^_^ I will definitely check it out, it's always nice to be updated on games you're looking forward to playing :D
I feel your pain, that's the issue I have with the majority of otome games coming from Japan; meek MCs with little to no agency of their own. Guys will walk all over them and treat them like dirt. I'm just sick of reading MCs like that, I wanted someone that could take charge of their own destiny, that could fight with people if they felt insulted or slighted. Someone who isn't afraid to voice their opinion. She doesn't need to be a bad-ass and snap at people 24/7, having a witty comeback at everything - but just someone who can say "Hey, you're being an asshole right now, so quit it."
Of course, you don't have to be like that in Tailor Tales, as you can pick the Kind option instead. Best of both worlds :)
That's the biggest difference in the two endings. The passionate ending has the MC take initiative, whereas in the Innocent ending she is more passive and the guy will take the initiative.
Yep, I post a lot of progress on the Discord, including screenshots of cute scenes with Dimitri! :D
