Attached to this post is a PDF file to James' complete story.
Fierce choices will be written in red, and innocent choices will be written in green.
Sometimes, text will be written in red to indicate there would be a variation had the player selected a previous choice somewhere, such as who to give the Makoet to. This is tracked later on and different text is presented.

I managed to get a lot of things finished last month! Gray's chapters 8 and 9 were coded in, as well as Aiden's chapters 2, 3 and 4. Aiden is finally moving forward again!
Glad to hear people are enjoying the chat system in Aiden's route, as it will be there for a lot of scenes (especially the upcoming...

Aiden is out of hiatus so you'll be getting his chapters again :) would love to hear feedback on the new chat system in his route! If possible, please answer these questions:
1. Did you try to click anything on the screen, and if so, what did you first click on?
2. Do you like the typing sound when you as the player says something?
3. What do you think of the custom emojis and words?

Here is Gray's 2nd CG, which shows up in chapter 8.
Kinda forgot to post the 1st CG a while ago!
MC is a teenager in here and has a wildly different look than her current self 10 years later.
For my next game (yep, after Tailor Tales!) I was mostly toying around with the idea of working as a dating app, and letting the player chat and talk with characters on this app, and then go out on cute dates.
The player is able to customize almost anything about themselves to really make the experience feel more like the player (or their OC).
That said, I can't decide which device I would simulate these conversations on! Do you find it more immersive to text characters on a phone...

A while back, I asked people in the Tailor Tales Discord what kind of emojis they use in certain situations. I got a lot of valuable responses and managed to tailor it into the game.
During Aiden's route, a lot of chapters take place on a chatting app called Chaos Chat.
To make the experience more immersive - despite not being able to choose every single line of dialogue for the MC - the ...

Progress on Gray's route is going smoothly! Chapters 6 and 7 were coded into the game, with 8 being under its way.
Chapter 18, which is Gray's first sex scene, was also written and completed! Progress on the script is a little slower than I would have liked, we may catch up to the script too fast.
Hiatus ended!

When you started a new game on Patreon for Plus, you would have Neil, Dimitri and Caine's route fully unlocked.
I have now removed that, and have added passwords to unlock those routes, if you wish to unlock them as a first time player. Long-time players do not need to pay attention to this.
These are the passwords you can use to unlock the routes:

We reached the 900 Patreon milestone! That means, as a perk, Plus supporters and up will be able to add 100 new names to the list of voiced names.
Here is the list of the 200 original names.

Originally, Eeyok was a small side character that was supposed to die in James' chapter 5 (instead, we've got Geroed floating out into space). Due to his popularity, I decided to expand his role and give him parts of what Billius was supposed to have. Yep, Billius was originally supposed to go back to Earth! Instead, Eeyok took over that role.
When Eeyok talked, he spoke in broken sentences. Ev...

Gray's chapters 4 & 5 were coded into the game. More Gray content for next month! Currently the pace is about 1 chapter a month for the script, so we might eventually out-pace the script if I keep putting up 2 chapters a month, but we'll see!
Aiden is still on hiatus as I focus on prepping James' release to the public. Not that I haven't worked on his route. When I say hiatus, it ...
Tailor Tales won't be the only game I'll be developing, I am planning on more in the future. I've got two ideas, and they're two completely different genres as well as gameplay.
Here's just a very short summary:
1. The dating sim - slice of life
The idea is to be able to fully self-insert and customize your MC. From the way they look, to pronouns, to choosing every single line of dialogue. You will be arranging dates through a dating app and go on short and fun...
The 4.0.2 update is now out!
This month is a little less on content due to Aiden being on hiatus as I'm managing to care for my sick cat.
Starting next month in August, there will be two chapters for Gray every month, until Aiden's route is resumed.
Please update your game and make sure to play the one named Tailor Tales Patreon.

Did we land into an entirely different game?
Nah, it's just the in-game MOBA called Legendary Arena. MC will be playing this game with her friends set in Aiden's route, and some scenes are set within this game.
I figured I should make it less boring to sit through by giving them cute chibis, a working HUD that shows the kill count, an announcer voice, and even the text box fits the game!
Hopefully these scenes satisfy the gamer in you.

Working on releasing James to the public, which includes promotional material - and his own trailer!
A release date will be announced soon, though Patreons have already enjoyed his route for a while now. Thanks for being with me on this journey ❤

So I took it easy last month, spent a lot of time at the vet emergency and whatnot. Which means not a whole lot of things were done, but Gray's chapter 3 is fully coded at this point!

Aiden's 1st chapter is released, though he'll be on hiatus for now. Gray's route will continue as normal.
If you have Gray as your main route, Aiden's 1st chapter will be automatically unlocked for you and you can reread it (your fierce/kind will not be recorded for his route).

Patreon hasn't been sending me notifications of new messages I've received for months now. I only noticed this when people were sending me multiple messages, or contacted me elsewhere.
This means I've been missing messages as far back as February. I humbly apologize for not answering any messages and will see if I can still help out with your questions, despite being months late.

Gray's 2nd chapter was coded into the game, as well as Aiden's 1st chapter. Gray's 1st CG comes up in his 2nd chapter, so I had to draw that, too!
The VA for Ivan (a character in Gray's route) didn't quite deliver and I had to decide to remove him from the role. For now, Ivan is going to share Varitus' soundbites.

The 4.0.0 update is now out!
Gray's 1st chapter is available to play. You will be given the choice to set Gray or Aiden as your main story. It's probably best if you set Gray as your main at the moment, because Aiden will be released a month later. This means that Aiden's chapters will automatically unlock for you in every update, so you can reread them while still keeping your progress with Gray.

So there were a few Patreons who signed up for the limited tier to be able to get your own avatar in the game, but they didn't have the opportunity to actually write down their comment. Especially now that it's the new month.
So if you had pledged to the limited tier, but didn't tell me what you like to see, please comment on this post!
Images/references would be great :)

Most of James' CGs, while a ton of work, weren't such a big hit (I will forever cry about the unpopularity of the floating in space CG). So I'm trying to gather more player input about the CGs that are, you know, worth the effort of making.
So as I'm posing Gray's 1st CG, which follows a trend of MC being on top of the LI. In this case, she has pushed him down into some bushes.

Sometimes the story would show a character on-screen that would have a few lines, but not enough to warrant an actual sprite.
The MC's mother and grandma did not get a sprite due to the sheer amount of effort that is needed to create those sprites and reflect all the player's custom colours. Ralph, the MC's brother, is the only one to get a sprite because he plays a major role in the story. The MC's mother and grandma briefly show up, and therefor, was not worth the effort to create a s...

I reached out to Aiden's voice actor and asked him to redo all his work (it's been 3 years since the last time), and he knocked it out of the park!
