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!
