New players for this month, when you enter in the latest password, you will jump to the latest newest chapter, instead of starting out at chapter 1. This is because of a previous mishap with save files being lost for other Patrons.
You can, as a new player, ignore this chapter number. Simply go to any of the guy's story in the Settings, and select "start new route" to start at chapter 1.

Took me a long time - but the MC (Joselina) has a finished and working sprite! She can now show up on the screen with the many different expressions like all the other characters can have. Including different outfits, and obviously, reflecting the player's choice of colour.
Joselina's sprite uses 247 images to work correctly!
Her brother, Ralph (in James' route), will have the same mechan...

I do want to apologize for lack of content this month, as it was such a busy time with the release and whatnot. Lots of bugfixing and support ate up time. I should be back on track at a usual pace starting this February :)

High-res image for Caine's 3rd CG! This will appear in Caine's chapter 12.
This one took longer than usual, 3 days, Yikes. Still have to cut it up, animate it, then add to the game.
2019-01-28 00:40:22 +0000 UTC View PostJoselina, the main character, now has a voice! That means I can add some side stories in the guy's PoV that have been written a while ago. Yes, you can turn off the MC's voice in Settings > Audio.
So far, these side stories can be added:
- Neil's chapter 12 in his point of view (the masquerade ball)
- Dimitri's chapters 1 & 2 in his point of view (1st chapter when he first met the MC and 2nd chapter when he was baking a cake with the MC)

Tailor Tales lets you reread chapters. Chapters are - at the start - locked, preventing you from rereading them. You can unlock chapters by playing the game as usual; you press the continue button in the main menu to proceed to the next chapter. When you've read a chapter, you've unlocked that chapter and you can reread them.
The thing that confuses many Patreons, is that, as a perk for being a Patron, you unlock Neil's and Dimitri's full route, so you can read from wherever you left of...
2019-01-21 23:56:22 +0000 UTC View PostAll of the characters in James' route (of which there are quite a lot) have been cast! They will all have lovely voices that suit their character. It was pretty hard deciding some of them because they're all so good.
The main character, Joselina, is also cast! That means we'll be getting her soundbites and I can finally start work on side stories :D yes, you're able to turn her voice off in the main menu, under Audio options.

The new update is finally here! After testing and fixing various bugs and not sleeping, here is the new Tailor Tales.
To old players (new players, ignore this):
This update will corrupt your clients. Due to the fact Jackets are now added to the clothing categories, your old (random) clients will not work anymore.
Please delete your random clients. Just get rid of the 4 on the list, so that new ones are generated instead.

I'll have to sadly say that the release date for the Patreon this time will be a little delayed. Probably around the 5th or 6th this time. There's still some testing to be done before I release the new version.

My process for creating backgrounds, this time a karaoke box. I eventually redid the floor and couch at the very end after all, since I messed up the perspective.
This background will be used in Caine's and Aiden's route :) (this makes background #78!)

Tailor Tales started with 3 skin tones. I was a little worried about filesize (because the CGs are quite big and skin would cover the most area of the CG), so I kept it to a minimum of 3.
But I hear you! Someone on the survey - as well as others before - mentioned it would be nice to have more skin tones available. Right now, I'm adding 4 new skin tones to the game, you can find them in Outfit in the...
