1. Are you enjoying Neil's route, do you still like him/hate him?

I actually find it very amusing. He can be kind of a character - but bantering back with him, and then trying to be nice, it's kinda funny to see him react to things. I usually play the nicest choices, but for him, I can't help but want to push his buttons sometimes. As of chapter 20, I like him and his route.
2. How many fierce and kind points did you score for Neil?

All kind points. I would save before making a choice, and just go back and pick the fierce option first just to see what would happen.
3. How long did it take you to finish Neil's first 20 chapters?

A bit under 90 minutes, but I was also saving and going back to see different outcomes of the choices you make.
4. What are your thoughts on Dimitri? And his voice?

I think it's interesting - a cute character with a great premise for a route. Even though he's younger than the MC, it shouldn't be that big of a deal, both are adults. I just want to see how it unfolds with him and the fact you dated Alex. His voice sounds fine, too,

5. How long did it take you to finish Dimitri's first 3 chapters?

About 40 minutes.
6. Who's your favourite guy out of Neil and Dimitri?

Probably Neil, but only because he's got 20 chapters out vs 3 chapters for Dimitri. That could change, though, when more chapters are out for Dimitri.

7. What's your favourite CG?

The one where the MC fell on top of Neil and he just looks so horrified. I couldn't help but laugh at that one, poor guy. It was fun to razz him about it, too.
8. What's your favourite chapter or scene?

I liked the masqurade ball. I loved how it just kind of added that bit of a twist to the storyline for Neil, and now I'm very curious to finish his route - there's gotta more going on with him and his family relationships.
9. Which part made you actually feel happy/angry/flustered?

I didn't like how Alex treated the MC - but I would also be curious to see how he's changed after awhile. Also, I loved Neil's latest chapter and how he can't make up his mind about how he feels about the MC - I'm curious to know why he wants to keep her away and what he means by family drama, as we've only just been introduced to his parents and see where it goes from there. I'm happy he's decided he does want to keep seeing the MC, but how in unfolds I guess is what I'm more looking forward to, especially with the 'story' they've built up and told his parents.
10. What did you like more, creating clothes, dressing up the avatar, or reading the story?

Honestly? All three. It's a very unique feature to an otome-type game that I haven't seen in any I've ever played, especially not to the extent that you've made it. It's fun to create your own character and have them interact with the characters - it makes you feel more involved in the story that way. So, I'd say all three kinda go hand in hand.
11. Even though Neil and Dimitri are the only two available options right now, who else are you interested in?

Alex? I know he was awful to the MC towards the end, but I'd be curious to see how his route could possibly play out if he did become and option.
12. Overall comments about the game? Art? Writing? You name it!

I can see a few people also mentioned it, but I can't create any pants for the MC, they don't show up. I haven't noticed much else, as I also played Demo 1.1. I think any errors or corrections on that you've already made. Anyway, I think it's off to a great start and I can't wait til the next release to continue playing! Keep it up! :)

CeliannaDeveloper8 years ago

Since you keep saving for each chapter to see his other reaction to the fierce option, just for you, I'll add a load button to the game in the main menu! Right now you can only load when you start up the game.

Happy to see you're interested in Neil's story and what will happen next - there's definitely some family drama going on, and it'll start right at chapter 21. The next beta release should hopefully include the next 5 chapters to satisfy your curiosity.

Also happy to know you like creating clothes! I think Tailor Tales is the only such game at the moment where you can design clothes, dress-up your avatar (I'll eventually be adding premade clothing), and also read romantic stories. I've always wanted the concept of making your own clothes and romancing some buys to go hand-in-hand.

If you made any cool creations, show me them! Take a screenshot by going to Outfits, clicking the camera icon in the top left, select a background and click on "done" to generate a screenshot in your Screenshots folder! :)

Thank you for your feedback and playing the game! :D welcome to the Dimitri fanclub. It's funny, because people come for Neil, but stay for Dimitri!

No worries, the ending will have some more steamy scenes haha. I'm contemplating creating short stories with adult content and release them separate from the main game as a perk. My main writing strengths are character dialogue - and smut, lol. Years ago I was struggling with writing such scenes, and I forced myself to write a lot of it until I became pretty good at it!

I'm very happy that you enjoyed creating outfits in the game! Please send me over some screenshots of your creation (go to dress-up, click the camera icon in the top left, select a background, and click on 'done' - your screenshot is in your Screenshots folder!), I love seeing them.

Dimitri best guy <3

Archeia8 years ago (1 edit)

1. Are you enjoying Neil's route, do you still like him/hate him?

I think in Neil's case, I ended up enjoying him because of the character archetype of a tsundere, all of my interpretation of my jabbing and his jabbing against me is about the Dere so it didn't bother me as much...surprisingly. Although I DID wanted to wrangle his neck until he moved that mannequin and I just went, I see what you're trying to do.

2. How many fierce and kind points did you score for Neil?
7 Fierce, 23 Kind.

3. How long did it take you to finish Neil's first 20 chapters?
2 hours and 40 ish minutes?

4. What are your thoughts on Dimitri?
Adorable, and totally awkward checking out my Ex's brother but what the heck.

5. How long did it take you to finish Dimitri's first 3 chapters?
Uh, really fast. Less than an hour.

6. Who's your favourite guy out of Neil and Dimitri?
I like them both equally.

7. What's your favourite CG?
Dmitri holding the cat and the laptop one.

8. What's your favourite chapter or scene?
The chapter where Neil and MC they were about to get laid but not really.

9. Which part made you actually feel happy/angry/flustered?

Everything in Neil's route had me laughing most of the time surprisingly.

10. What did you like more, creating clothes, dressing up the avatar, or reading the story?
Admittedly the story more. I'm not good with fashion so I struggle. Maybe when I can start creating clothes and it has influence in the story probs? Not sure.

11. Even though Neil and Dimitri are the only two available options right now, who else are you interested in?

Angela and Sarah.

12. Overall comments about the game? Art? Writing? You name it!

I'm a bit concerned about the background being maybe too much on the same spectrum as the character? I think more atmosphere would be nice.

Oh my Goddess! (NO I don't believe in more then one God, but I ended up taking this term from a book I read so I didn't say God's name in vain lol)

1.) Do I love Neil's route? Yes.. Yes I do. He probably isn't well liked by other's but for some odd reason I see this boy with a heart of gold in there. Under all that angst he's obviously got going on since he was still in the care of his parents. He is under a lot of expectations, I can only assume this. He obviously hasn't been near too many girls that he may have liked as it's easy to see he is quite flustered easily, and made uncomfortable when he is too close to the protagonist. Those elements in the story are what I like, when someone is so high and mighty get's flustered from someone who doesn't care to pull him down from his pedestal.

2.) I honestly can't tell you this one, because I can't seem to find a save option for your game. So I have to start from scratch with getting his CG's, and points. Though generally I choose the blunter of the options given, because I can often be referred to as the bluntest tool in the shed. lol

3.) I pulled an all nighter to finish all of his chapters. I absolutely can't wait till you get more chapters and elements to this game. I look forward to playing a lot more of it! In fact it's in my 'Patiently Waiting For' collection, because I absolutely love the thought you have put into your game. I can not stress that enough that I love the thought put into this game!

4.) Dimitri is sweet with a lot of sugar on top. I don't have much of an opinion on him as I do with Neil, but that's because he doesn't have a lot of chapters out. I can say that I think he'll be the bunny out of the bunch. Neil seems more like a panther waiting to pounce on his prey. That's just me though.

5.) It didn't take me very long to finish his chapters. Around two hours I would think. I wanted to read both routes slowly, and didn't actually start till I finished Neil's.

6.) I have to say it's Neil. Dimitri hasn't developed himself yet in the role of male antagonist yet for me. I do however, look forward to reading more of his chapters!

7.) I personally like the CG where the protagonist fell on Neil, showed off how flustered and uncomfortable he was with the situation. Made me personally assume, he did not have much experience with girls in close proximity.

8.) My favorite Chapter has to be the masquerade ball. Go heroine, go! Be the Cinderella you were meant to be!

9.) The masquerade ball made me flustered the most, he was the one that was the obvious man. What with his approach to the protagonist of the story. I felt embarrassed for the protagonist for picking the WRONG Neil, lol.

10.) I love everything about your game! I love that I can choose her appearance for how I want to have her look, and that it's incorporated into the CG's! You did a marvelous job in making this game the way that it is.

11.) I'm highly interested in the thief. Cain I believe his name was.^^;

12.) I would love to see more from you in this game. For instance I always love when a programmer adds easter eggs to their game!

Enni20048 years ago

I'm legit depressed, as soon as I made my first avatar after i clicked *I never played before* It said there was a word script instead of the coding to head to the next scene ;-;

CeliannaDeveloper8 years ago

Sorry, I'm a bit confused! Did you get a script error? Are you playing the Mac version?

FlamingDiva8 years ago (1 edit)

1. Are you enjoying Neil's route, do you still like him/hate him?

I am enjoying Neil's route. He kind of reminds me of Mr. Darcy, then he started reminding me of one of my own characters so I can't help but love him now. ~~Plus he's a tsundere and I love tsuns.~~

2. How many fierce and kind points did you score for Neil?

I can't remember.... I think it was 10 fierce and 20 kind?

3. How long did it take you to finish Neil's first 20 chapters?

I think it was about 5 hours....

4. What are your thoughts on Dimitri?

Let's just say if there was a "Marry me" choice I would have chosen it in the 2nd chapter.... if it wasn't creepy to be saying that to a teen anyway. *nervous laugh* ~~He's totally my type plus he can bake and works at a cat cafe? How perfect can you get?~~

5. How long did it take you to finish Dimitri's first 3 chapters?

Less than an hour I think... or about an hour.... I didn't design any clothes between the chapters like I did with Neil's. But I spent like five minutes each chapter squealing over him.

6. Who's your favourite guy out of Neil and Dimitri?

Dimitri! <3

7. What's your favourite CG?

Dimitri holding the kitty. :3

8. What's your favourite chapter or scene?

All scenes with Dimitri. And the scene where you're measuring Neil.

9. Which part made you actually feel happy/angry/flustered?

I squealed all through Dimitri's scenes. And there were times I wanted to hit Neil with a mannequin and tell him to shut up. Like when he's being completely arrogant or when he was demanding money for his watch... or pushing you away...

10. What did you like more, creating clothes, dressing up the avatar, or reading the story?

All of them equally? What made me download the game was the designing clothes and dressing up but I'm really enjoying the story so far.

11. Even though Neil and Dimitri are the only two available options right now, who else are you interested in?

Cain~

12. Overall comments about the game? Art? Writing? You name it!

I stayed up until 5-6am two nights in a row playing. I LOVE IT! I can NOT wait to get more. The art and writing are really good and I've always wanted to design my own clothes.
I think for the details-the bows and such-it should be a set color choice like with everything else because it is impossible to match the colors I wanted with the slider. It's nice to have more color choices but when I wanted, say, a light mint I couldn't get the color right.

Also, will you be adding the accessories in later versions?

And I can't design pants/shorts? They're not showing up when I click in to create them...

CeliannaDeveloper8 years ago

Thank you for playing and the feedback!

Seems you came for the clothes and stayed for the story haha. You should show off some of your designs! Just go to Outfit, click the camera icon in the top left, pick a background and click "done" in the top right, and it should generate a screenshot in your Screenshots folder where the game is :)

Dimitri is a cutie, isn't he? I'd love to be able to add more chapters for him in the next update, but I'm mostly focused on Neil at the moment. I can add up and until chapter 5 for Dimitri though :)

As for your suggestion about the colours, that's unfortunately not possible. You can try the set colours for the details above the sliders, they're closely matched with the first 10 default colours. Unfortunately I cannot use the same colours you use on the clothing as on the details. This is mostly because you can add like a 1000 details in one single image, and giving it the same colour involves masking, and that would pretty much crash your game haha. So I did it the simple way: tinting it. This doesn't strain the processor :)

You can create all colours with the sliders though! It just takes a bit of practice.

There will definitely be more items later on, accessories - even flapping butterfly wings at one point. They're just on low priority at the moment. Next update shouldn't have anything new added, since I'm focused on Neil's route.

In the current version the bottoms are bugged and you cannot design them. It'll be fixed in the next version!

FlamingDiva8 years ago

Of course! And thank you for making this!

Yes you can say that I came for clothes and stayed for the story. ^^ I've shared my designs with my best friend (she downloaded the game too:) and also posted them on Facebook.... I'll post some of them on the thread a little later, though.

Aww, I want more Dimitri (especially domestic type scenes) but after replaying Neil's chapters I can't wait to ~~torture~~ tease Neil more.

I see... Yeah, wouldn't want it crashing all the time! I will stick with the slider thing then... I am getting better at it and can now at least match my favorite color.

Oooo butterfly wings?! My best friend and I are going to have a lot of fun with those. I figured that was the case but wanted to confirm it... I understand focusing on one thing, I have too many projects I want to have done Now so I'm all over the place with them. *sigh*

I'm really excited about how this game will turn out, keep up the awesome work! ^^ I do have one more question/suggestion, are you going to add boots? A cute pair of booties would be a nice addition and would go well with some of the dresses I've created.

CeliannaDeveloper8 years ago

Aw, I'm happy you're sharing the game. I worked really hard on the clothing design system (and paid a buttload of money for it), so I love it when people share designs. Eventually I might ask people to design something for me, and I will turn it into an actual outfit that will be added to the game :)

I've got so many shoes ideas in my head, and I actually did draw some boots. Can't remember why I didn't add them ... oh wait I remember, they were really ugly and I didn't feel like fixing them. Ahaha. I'll add some boots to the next update. Feel free to spam me with pictures for accessories ideas, I do like knowing what my players want to see in the game. Same thing for the kind of patterns you'd like.

And thank you! Next update should be in August, since I'm back working in full swing - the game now has shops where you can buy all the items from, and you can design clothes for clients to earn money. Don't worry; I will add an option so that all clothing items are available to you, but I prefer it if people were to test the game having to work for the items.

Ahh, I have so many domestic type scenes planned for Dimitri, I actually had to cut them down because it was getting a bit too much. Hopefully I can add two more chapters for the next update.

Astrala8 years ago (1 edit)

1. Are you enjoying Neil's route, do you still like him/hate him?

Yes, and I like him a lot. I want to kick him in the head sometimes, but that's the same for my relationships in real life and it's also probably why I like him so much. Nothing beats someone you can have a good argument with .

2. How many fierce and kind points did you score for Neil?

Nine fierce points and forty-something kind points. I like arguing, but I'm clumsy in real life, so when the MC crashes into people and breaks things, my own reflexes kick in and I can't not apologize... I understand MC! TT_TT We're not that clumsy! It's just bad luck!

3. How long did it take you to finish Neil's first 20 chapters?

Well, because I screwed up and did something stupid, I can't actually give you an accurate time. Sorry...

4. What are your thoughts on Dimitri?

I ADORE Dimitri. If he were a shirt I'd get twelve in every color. Seriously though, that sweetheart just shows up in a giant, fluffy, cat costume and meows? Who's heart wouldn't explode at that? A terrible person's, that's who's!

5. How long did it take you to finish Dimitri's first 3 chapters?

Still not sure, but it would have defiantly taken less time if I didn't have to stop and fawn over him every time he said something. That cutie!

6. Who's your favourite guy out of Neil and Dimitri?

Oh, come on? How do you expect a girl to choose? I mean seriously it's just rude to even ask- Yeah, no. It's Dimitri. I mean I <3 Neil, but I just love Dimitri to death.

7. What's your favourite CG?

The one with Neil's new look, where's he's dressed up as... You know, I don't know which it was, because the MC called it two different things, but either way he looked real good *she says with in a strange voice, with a pointed look and wagging eyebrows*. ... Gross. I just creeped myself out a little... Anyway, ON WITH THE QUESTIONNAIRE!

8. What's your favourite chapter or scene?

The one in Dimitri's rout where the MC has the option to scream and slam the door in Dimitri's face, 'cause that's what I chose to do and what I would have done in real life. Clumsy and prone to freak outs... MC and might actually be the same person. *Get it? It's funny because she's the character I play. Haaa... My jokes suck... Also my real name is Sarah, so that whole thing would be weird...* ONWARD!

9. Which part made you actually feel happy/angry/flustered?

Well, as I said before, I wanted to kick Neil in the head throughout the story, but when he blew up at MC after that thing with the nurse and when he said those things in chapter- 18, I think, I wanted to kick him somewhere else, but every scene with Dimitri makes me happy. Neil has some some scenes during the ball that make me happy, but those are also the flustering ones. Oh, and Angela is just a boat-load of fun! If you could find a way to box that up, it'd sell like hotcakes around the world!

10. What did you like more, creating clothes, dressing up the avatar, or reading the story?

Creating the clothes was fun, but without the pants options and accessories, dressing up the avatar felt a little bit limited, but the game is still in development, so I can't judge it for that. The story was the best aspect by far, anyway, but then again, that's my opinion on everything. The story really is good, though. If it wasn't I wouldn't have commented, but I do think you need to look over the text and dialogue, some of it is written strangely and needs editing.

11. Even though Neil and Dimitri are the only two available options right now, who else are you interested in?

I want Caine!!! I like his freckles.

12. Overall comments about the game? Art? Writing? You name it!

I really like the game. I think it's cool and has a unique premise with the whole character creator/fashion designer meets otome thing it has working for it. I like the art style too, but I think the avatar for the MC might need to be altered a bit. I think maybe her legs or her torso are to short, not that I have a problem with short girls or anything, but in some dresses she looks like she has reeeally long arms, but that might also just be me. Other than that and the writing thing I mentioned earlier, I think the game is great! The story really is good, just told really strangely in places.

CeliannaDeveloper8 years ago

Ahaha, I'm sorry your real name is Sarah and Sarah happens to be your best friend in this game! And since you like Dimitri so much, I'll warn you: Sarah appears a lot in Dimitri's route. Still, happy to see you're enjoying his route so much, Dimitri has gotten quite the fanbase. The next update should hopefully have a couple of chapters added, especially of the domestic variety.

And you're right; there are no accessories yet because that's something I'll be adding waaay later :) but right now, the system works, so that means I can add accessories anytime I want!

As for awkward dialogue, unfortunately I'm a one-man team, and don't have anyone reading it over. So I would appreciate it the next time you play the game to take a screenshot of awkward wording etc. and show it to me. This way I know where I need to edit my work :) just hit the PRTSCN button and it should appear in your Screenshots folder!

Thanks so much for playing!
