Thank you for the feedback! We have added keyboard controls for sewing since this update, and you can already right click pieces on the cutting room to return them into your inventory. We want interactions in the game to be as tactile as possible, but will keep having accessible alternatives in mind!
So sorry for the delay in replies! I'm in the middle of a move, so it's been a while since I got to play. I'm on the newest build now, and you've made a lot of changes I really appreciate! I love the trims and lace, as well as the new fabric and patterns. The zoom is also incredibly helpful.
Unfortunately, I'm still really struggling with the controls, particularly in the sewing phase. I love the addition of keyboard controls for the food pedal, but you're still requiring click/hold and drag to adjust the fabric position. What this means is that for any piece with curved seams (which is most of them) I'm having to hold a mouse button and drag to make minute adjustments the entire time I'm sewing or else significantly sacrifice dress quality. I'm sorry, but I'm really not noticing a difference in how painful it is to play.
I'm also noticing that you can still sew forwards with the hold mouse/drag controls, which means I'm making far more mistakes than in the previous build. I keep trying to adjust the angle and unless I'm incredibly precise, the needle surges forward when I don't want it to.
I really appreciate how responsive you've been with requests for features and responding to concerns, and I'm genuinely excited for you that you got greenlit and get to develop this into a full game. However, between the ongoing accessibility issues and the fact that you can't seem to un-place trim once you've placed it, I'm finding the current build to be unplayably frustrating. I'm sad to say it, but I'm probably going to have to sit this one out unless/until you can fully implement a control schema that doesn't rely on keyboard and mouse.
Sorry to hear you are having such a bad experience! It's a bit of a process to figure these things out, especially when the mechanic I'm designing is a bit more unusual. Have you tried using the arrow keys to rotate the fabric? We'll definitely keep working on the sewing until it's fun for everyone!
Okay update I have tried the arrow keys and it is significantly more comfortable to play, thank you so much! I would love a little more precision in the left/right movement, I'm finding that even a short tap will rotate the fabric wider than I'd like. And I'm still having the issue where sometimes the needle will move forward while I'm adjusting the rotation and not hitting the spacebar at all. However!!! I should actually be able to complete the demo now!!
Thank you again!
