this game is so awesome!!!! i love creating dresses on here and i’ll definitely be playing the prototype for a while just making things. not to be annoying but i have a few comments:
1. i think the game has such a distinct feel and colour palette, like kind of a victorian feel, but the colours of the pattern notebook fall a bit flat in this sense.
2. i find the scrolling in the patterns a bit jumpy and sensitive, so that could be made a little more calm
3. it’s a little hard to drag the pieces on the mannequin and have to rotate it with the same mechanism, so maybe think about having a separate mouse button for rotating e.g. hold the right mouse button to rotate and the left for dragging. maybe also for the sewing but i think it works better there to have the same button.
4. also for the mannequin area: it’d be nice to have the area that the pattern piece has to go to be highlighted the whole time instead of only when you’re near it. for the directionally challenged (me)...
5. i would love to see a menu to look through and select the fabrics you have more easily, especially once you rack up a bunch it gets difficult to scroll through with the previous/next buttons.
6. i would love to see my customers wear the dresses, and i get it if it’s way too much work but it’d be especially cool if it was in the same sketchy style as the customers are. maybe even like paper doll-esque. i guess you’d have to draw every possible option for each pattern piece but oh well.....
anyway, this game is absolute cozy game genius. the sketched customers are SOO cute, the art style is beautiful, i’m really having fun playing it and it’s only a prototype... this is awesome!!! i’m definitely waiting for full release and if you’re ever able to release it on switch i would die.
