this is A-MA-ZING. literally so good for a prototype, like most of the main mechanics are already in place and they maybe need a little more polishing but they work super well, especially considering this was made in such a short amount of time. I love games like this where you run your own shop or whatever the case may be, akin to the papa's games library, good pizza great pizza, and considering this is a fashion game, the style savvy series and the sheer amount of boutique management games i used to play on facebook before. the atmosphere is great and i was already very comfortable playing with just the game audio to hear that sewing machine put together my little models in real time. so so so fun, easily the kind of game id drop at least 30 euro on without a second thought cause i know i would be spending a lot of time in it and enjoying every minute.
on the part of what i think can be improved, there's not necessarily much. of course id like more patterns for the dress parts and more fabric patterns, fabric types, but thats stuff that i know will come with an alpha, beta and full release of the game [hopefully] yet the one particular feature id really enjoy is to be able to see the pattern of your chosen material on the sketch. i think that and having colours that match the plain fabrics would make planning out a dress and getting a little preview of your vision so much easier AND YET i can also argue that not knowing and only having vague blocks of colour makes the reveal that much more interesting, and is probably a little more true to life. other than that, ive encountered a few bugs, the hand model glitching around as im sewing [didnt interfere with the sewing at all, just looked silly] or the newspaper clipping of the charity event popping up after each mission following it for no reason. the strangest one was when my scissors just disappeared and it wouldnt let me cut out the patterns anymore, but that was solved with a quick reset.
apologies for the rambling but i want you to know that theres many people out there excited for this project and paying attention to all the little details. im hoping you will be able to fully develop and publish this game without too much trouble, whether you seek out a publisher or do it full indie. i will definitely be coming back to drop a couple of coins in your purses when i have the means! cheers!!
