Hi!
I am a costume designer/seamstress everything in between and I love the concept of this game. I understand that it's still in development but so far it looks very lovely.
Here are some things I noticed:
-When I started the tutorial, I got ambitious and used all of my budget to buy fabric and so when it indicated for me to buy an accessory, I didn't have any money to buy an accessory which soft locked me. Slightly annoying, I did just restart the game and continued as normal--but that was something that may become a problem in the future.
-I so so so hope that ya'll add textures to the fabrics on the mannequin. It would really bring some zest to the experience and also really help folks learn about how maybe different fabrics drape compare to others--why they have the qualities they have.
-I have a suggestion--mostly because the discarding of used fabric miffs me beyond belief just because I would save all of those scraps lmao but I also understand with game mechanics. But maybe you could introduce an applique feature where you can use scraps to make appliques and fabric shapes that you can sew onto the mannequin (like putting on an accessory) which would add another level of decoration.
-Pls add lace and other trims? Begging on my knees.
-As a seamstress, when I was learning one thing I was taught is that nothing ever will look professional if you do not press and iron things. It's a requirement for making things look good imo. I think it would be fun to maybe add another mechanic--or maybe even just an transition animation to make a call out to that element of the process.
-thank you so much for making this also for mac os. I'm so tired of my cozy games being for windows only and I cant get it :(((
Those were my thoughts, so so excited for the future of this game!
Also so happy I can just place unlimited buttons where ever. I can and will pretend that white buttons are pearls.
