Wonderful start to the prototype! I look forward to seeing more patterns added to the game, and more news from the spilled tea paper.
Some QOL things that might be handy: Seeing your sketches in the buy fabric menu, since color coding the sections in the sketches is very useful for planning. Being able to see the sketch of the back of the dress and color code that as well would be welcomed.
While sewing, I often found myself trying to push the mouse with my hand as if I were guiding the fabric through, but this led to faster speed. If possible, another alternate control method where the movement of the mouse correlates to movement of the fabric instead of speed of the fabric would be very welcome too.
This game has a lot of potential for customer relationship interactivity, where accepting or denying customers could affect word of mouth and future sales. Can't wait to see how you expand this interactivity.
Thanks again for all your hard work in making this!
