A small update! This should render your current quick save file useless, so please make sure you load your manual save file when starting the game. You can always make a new quick save!
What's been changed: - Deleting a piece of clothing no longer deletes the image on your hard drive, preventing any future issues with missing clothing files. - A warning will now display when attempting to load from a quick save file that is older than your manual save (this is your main save!), meaning you might lose progress if you continue to play from your quick save file. - Neil's gotten a new voice actor and his lines have been added, replacing the old VA!
And that's it for the update!
As for an update on James' route progress, I would estimate his script is about 85% finished, and playable chapters are currently sitting at 20 out of 28. Development should be finished around December or early 2021, with an actual update being pushed out in mid 2021 with his completed route.
Ending title card achievements fixed
This is a small update to fix the achievements for the ending titles (Dominatrix, Playful, Patient, Angelic) not unlocking.
Players who have completed a character route and gotten their achievements, but never got the above named achievement(s), they will have to manually unlock any achievements they may have missed out on.
Please go to your main menu and click the cogwheel to open the settings. Click the gift button and enter the password "achievement" to unlock the achievements you got on Steam! This will only grant you the achievements you have legitimately unlocked, so it is not a cheat code of some sorts :)
Sorry for the inconvenience! Steam achievements are an uphill battle.
3.0.6
The game has been updated to version 3.0.6, which is a small update.
This includes new backgrounds to use during the camera mode when taking screenshots of your outfit. As well as some balancing issues with the cost for chapters when you have high tailoring exp.
Fixed a few typos as well!
Please let me know of any issues.
Caine Prins now available
Caine's route is finally out! Go ahead and update your game, load your manual save file (your quick save file won't work, but it's okay, you can always create a new quick save!) and find Caine in the settings. Click on his profile and select "start new route" and you're on your way!
For those curious, James' 1st chapter is available to be read as well. You can't start a new route with him, but you can reread his 1st chapter as it is unlocked for you.
Caine's walkthrough for important clients: https://youtu.be/u23sJbT2dRs
A full changelog of updates below:
Content - Caine's full route has now been added (5 hours of content) - James' 1st chapter can be previewed (go to chapter selection, then reread his 1st chapter) - A whole bunch of new clothing accessories are now available - New clothing styles for tops and skirts have been added - Geometric shapes are available as details - Lots of new patterns to use - New wallpaper, flooring and furniture to customize your boutique - MC now has a sprite that has been added for side stories told in the love interest' point of view (Plus users only)
Bugfixes - Fixed a save file corruption error that would sometimes occur when the player tried to load their save file again, leading to an error saying "Cannot read property 'name' of null" - Fixed a few layer issues with clothing that wouldn't load when you first entered the designing screen - Some GPUs would cause an error with the screen after alt-tabbing and going back to the game where the screen was frozen, which has now been fixed - Sprites now fade in and out without seeing the underlying layers - Fixed a bug where you could select invisible colours when picking out a background for the camera mode - Some players would get errors with patterns displaying incorrectly. This issue was traced to the web-GL functionality being disabled on the user' computer. If the user cannot turn web-GL back on themselves, they must switch out their package. - After completing a route, players were asked if they wanted to read the other ending, but were sometimes met by the same ending regardless. It'll now set the chapter back to 25 properly so you can choose which ending to read
New features - All text messages have been replaced by a phone system that can show emojis and pictures as well - Players can change the size of the text to small, medium and large by clicking the AA icon - Players can now date characters after completing their route (Plus users only) - Dynamic tinting to account for the surroundings or time of day (orange during sunset, dark during night etc.) - Background blurring whenever a character approaches you has been remade and looks blurrier - Screen effects such as dashes, lights, and action lines have been added - The Profile in the settings of the main menu has been reworked to add a few more options - Players can now determine whether they're a virgin or not in the main menu, under Profile. Some routes (namely Caine) has slightly different dialogue based on this choice - Players can determine whether they want to hear MC's soundbites during side stories or not in the main menu under settings - Starting a new route, you'll be asked if you want to view the warnings and triggers for that route. Major spoilers are still hidden, so if you accidentally click yes, you will not be spoiled - You can rename your brother (Ralph), who appears in James' route. His sprite will take on the MC's CG colours
Artwork - A few backgrounds were redrawn - Gray, previously named Sam, has been reworked - Aiden and Neil has had some minor updates to their sprites - Some of Neil's CGs were redrawn - Some of the clothing has been redrawn, namely the midi and maxi circle skirts - A couple of hairstyles were redrawn
Misc. - The introduction tutorial has been remade and spread out as to not overwhelm new players. Returning players may stumble upon a tutorial here and there - All soundbites have been organized into subfolders - All backgrounds are now organized into a subfolder - Some quality of life fixes (more colours grouped, certain clothing elements excluded from being randomized)
Caine's route releasing on March 25
Caine's route is finally ready to be released! On March 25 the game will get updated with his full route, along with a load of improvements and bug fixes to the game.
When this update happens, your quick save will become unusable, so please be sure to load your manual save. New quick saves can be made after this update.
The tutorial from the intro has also been changed, so old users may run into a few tutorials here and there.
Anyways, be on the lookout for Caine! He'll be there to steal your heart away. Clocking in at 135k words (125k words for free users), or around 5 to 6 hours of playtime, he is the longest route to date.
Caine's route coming early 2020!
Caine's route was officially completed in September 2019. Early access was available to Patreons only. Which means that he'll be released for free in early 2020! For an exact date, be sure to follow on social media such as Twitter for any announcements.
With Caine's route being completed, James' route has been underway. It is roughly one year per character, so you can expect a 2021 release for James. Patreons are already enjoying his 1st chapter. Here's a screenshot of his first chapter, featuring MC's brother Ralph (nameable!), and an older Caine.
When Caine's route gets released, it'll come with a bunch of new features and updates such as dynamic tinting. Character sprites are now tinted darker or more orange to reflect the time of day.
A new phone message system was coded. All texting conversations have been converted to use this new system. Characters will type messages to you and you'll see them type in real-time. They'll use emojis and even send you selfies.
Check it out in action in this video: [previewyoutube="_VJwORna7XY;full"]
A trigger warning screen before you start each route, with the option to skip. Heavy spoiler warnings are hidden behind a wall, so no worries - you won't be spoiled if you are curious to check out the regular warnings.
You can now select whether or not your MC is a virgin in the main menu. This will influence certain stories, but not all. For example, it will come up in Caine's route and influence his ending.
Small visual updates on Neil's sprite.
And of course, a bunch of new items for dressing up your avatar, which you'll get to find out for yourself.
Plus?
With Caine's route completed, it's about time that the Plus DLC will become available on Steam as well. I will be working hard to add the Plus DLC for Neil and Dimitri on Steam after Caine is released. Caine's Plus DLC will not be available until James is released, so for now it remains a Patreon exclusive.
Caine's route 50% finished!
Caine's route is well on its way! His script is about 80% finished, whereas his overall route with playable chapters is at 50% currently (only Patreon users can play him at the moment). We're halfway there!
What is Caine's route like?
Well, for one thing... he's a thief! And he might eventually steal your heart ;)
I would say Caine's route is the steamiest of them all (Plus users will be able to experience some smut throughout the route), as he's just that kind of guy. People who like tsunderes, feisty redheads, and lots of blushing will enjoy his route.
I'm aiming to finish his route this year, though when his route will get released on Steam/Itch is still TBA. Patreon users have been enjoying Caine's route already :)
As for when Tailor Tales Plus will be available, it will most likely coincide with Caine's route release date.
Here's some screenshots of his route!
And of course, aside from working on Caine's route, I've also added new clothing options!
Oh, and Neil's first side story has been added for Plus users! It's written in Neil's point of view in chapter 12. It shows the MC, Joselina, on the screen as a sprite. This sprite will reflect your chosen CG colours.
Either way, I'm well on my way to completing Caine's route. Stay tuned!
Update 2.0.1!
The new update is here, and with it, an added new feature to the game! You can now see a checklist for clients, which will tell you what is correct and incorrect about your design. This way, you no longer have to wonder why the design isn't accepting, even though it looks identical.
This also fixes a bug where, if you had selected a colour/pattern of an optional category such as a hemline, even though the hemline wasn't selected itself, then the design wouldn't accept it - despite looking identical to what the client wants. Now you can accidentally click any colour/pattern and it won't count for the design until you select an actual hemline or sleeves etc.
This will be the last update made to the game until Caine's route is completed.
Tailor Tales out!
