i'm enjoying the pixel art and atmosphere of this game but i'm finding the puzzles a little out of my depth, unfortunately. after much wandering i figured out what the tv in micah's room wanted me to do... eventually... but i'm completely at a loss for what the lightbulbs are supposed to be telling me. i would love to dive into this game more, but i've reached the limit of what i can discover by exploring alone. would love some tips if you have any!

what a wonderfully thoughtful game! i loved cutting out patterns and sewing them together-- it felt very accurate to actual dressmaking (i am not a dressmaker, so i can't actually speak to the accuracy, only to the way it felt). 

1. i would love if there was a toggle to set the pattern pieces down on the cloth in the direction that aligns with the grain, so that i don't have to rotate all of the pattern pieces individually when both the game and i want the pattern pieces to be, for the most part, aligned horizontally.

2. i accidentally hit the 'discard used cloth' button twice and had to buy more fabric off the bolt. i would love a version where that isn't possible because there's no way to get that cloth/money back!!

3. i would rather right click to drop the scissors and left click to grab the cut dress pieces-- it just feels more ergonomic to me.

4. i don't have a suggestion here, just feedback, but i felt kind of lost sewing the dress pieces together. it didn't seem to matter which seams i sewed together first and i.. think it should matter! i think it should add to the overall quality score if i sew the pieces in a logical order, or there could be a recommended "these pieces probably should get sewn together first" overlay maybe? at least in the tutorial.

5. i think the sewing machine minigame section is super interesting, but it's really hard for me to see what i'm doing. i would love to be able to "lean in"/zoom in closer to the needle. i would love to control my speed separately from the direction i rotate my fabric around (like using a and d to control the cloth direction while i use the mouse forward and backward). there were a couple points where the sewing started while i was still moving right or left.

6. there are SO MANY COOL FABRICS in here i love it! what a cool library, what a cool fun place to hang out and make dresses. wow!

overall i had a very fun time in this game. thank you for making a dressmaking game that feels appreciative of the craft! i'm gonna go make some dresses now!

found this game quite by accident and streamed it without knowing much of anything about it. me and my stream audience got to walk around and really exist in the biting commentary and we got heated and we discussed benches and accessibility and art impeding functionality. this game is so fucking important. thank you for making this. i've been reminded of my burning fury of exclusionary spaces because you gave me a safe space to be furious in. thank you

sorry if this isn't the right place for this, but i found the jam page from the itch game jam calendar. are ttrpgs allowed for submissions to this jam? or is this exclusively a space for games with code?

i'm so glad you had fun! it is so cool to hear that you played this game with a different set of cards. really, any divination deck would work. thank you for trying my game out, and telling me about it!

thank you so much! i'd love to hear what comes of it!

played/hacked dredge with my friends as a multiplayer splatoon inspired turf wars like game. we had a lot of fun and think this game is really cool!
