James' 3rd CG

Finished James' 3rd CG! This will appear in chapter 14.It's a mirror scene of the 2nd CG, in that MC is the one to protect James this time around.I have to draw so many muscles on him haha. At least drawing bob-haired MC is very fun.Also, here's some progress pictures!

Biweekly update #40

Game progress- Coded in James' chapter 12- Added some new backgrounds to make screenshots withScript progress- Wrote James' chapters 15 and 16- Work on Gray's script has begunArt progress:- Finished Lana's new outfit- Finished Eeyok's new outfit- All the other small details have been added for chapter 12- Drew the festival backgroundJames' script is nearing 100k words, quite a feat for a route that is roughly halfway finished. As I've said before; James' route is simply the longest out of them all. No matter how ...

Clothing errors

Some people might experience a missing file error where a piece of clothing was missing when either starting the game, or going into Outfit.If you got this error, to fix it (for now), you will have to open your local files.1.

Welcome new Patreons!

With Caine's release out, a bunch of new people joined the Patreon, and I want to welcome them!The game will get updated on the 4th, as usual, and you'll get 2 new chapters for James' route (chapters 10 and 11).So stay tuned until then! :)

Neil glasses

Since Neil got a new design for his appearance in James' route, I was wondering if I should add glasses.So, what do you think?

Biweekly update #39

Caine's route is now available free to play for non-Patreon users.For Patreons, nothing changes. Plus is still only available through Patreon.That's all I was working on the past couple of weeks; Caine's release!

Dating system released!

Due to many people being stuck at home, I figured I may as well entertain you now. So here's the first ever mid-way monthly update of Tailor Tales: you can now go out on dates with Neil. Please update your game on Itch! Only Plus users can date.I would have liked to waited a little bit longer due to not having fully tested everything, but to my knowledge, it should work without many hiccups. Please check out Neil's profile and click on 'date'. You can select to go out on a date at the beach, or at your own home for now.There&#39...

Sam > Gray

The #1 outfit won, so this is Gray's redesign! Thanks for all the votes :)I figured it'd be fun to put it all in a row of how his design changes through the years.Originally named Roy (the flirt), changed to Sam in 2016 (added glasses), and eventually changed to Gray in 2020 (sorry glasses fans). The name change from Sam to Gray was due to the fact that it was very similar to another otome game who also had a Sam and James in their line-up.The only thing that stayed true to the original, is that Gray dies his hair haha. None of these ha...

Gray's final outfit... again!

After 100 votes, the winner from the previous poll was outfit #5, the black shirt and ripped pants combo with silver necklaces. I figured this outfit would suit him the most when he's in high school.However, he still needs an outfit for when he's an adult! So I picked out the most popular outfits from the previous poll and made a new one. Sorry for bothering you with this again ahaha. But help me pick out your favourite outfit for Gray!Vote here: https://forms.gle/jfed8Pjzn1QNpEfb8

Gray's outfit

Gray's redesign is being worked on! The above is his naked sketch so far. Below are his possible outfit combinations.Poll here: https://forms.gle/nNHT2Lknm9tekZ7H6

2nd date location

The dating system has been coded and completed. What's left is the actual content; aka the dates. I'll be releasing Neil as the first test person, and there will be two date locations available. In the future, I'll write the other date scenarios, but I have to manage my time as James' route is obviously still a priority.Anyways, the first date location is the player's boutique/home. The other location that will be included upon release of the date system, is up to you!Please vote for your favourite date location: https://for...

Biweekly update #38

Game progress:- Coded in James' chapter 11- Added new shoes (loafers)- Coded a bit more for the dating systemScript progress:- Wrote James' chapters 14 (now 80k words!)Art progress:- Drew James' alternate hairstyle- Drew Neil's new design- Finished James' 2nd CGMore work is being done on the dating system. The core mechanics are working, it's up to me to make sure it is cohesive and playable. The only thing left is creating the actual map in the menu, and then creating a few date scenarios. But the touching now works! My...

Post full CGs before or after?

There's no way to add spoilers in Patreon, so if I post a CG, everyone sees it, even if they don't want to.Some people like seeing the process, and some people would prefer not to get spoiled. The time it takes for a CG to be finished, to actually being included in the game, is about 2 months (hence why I tend to show it earlier).However, that does mean spoiling people earlier, so what should I do? Post the CGs before the chapter has been released, or after? And a third option I guess; I can post CGs on Discord (which has spoiler tags).

James' 2nd CG

Finished up James' 2nd CG! At first, I had planned his 2nd CG to be the one where he's naked and in a bath, but people were clear they would prefer this version - the one where MC is in it! This will show up in chapter 10.We stan short haired MC.As usual; the update will be live on the 4th of March, and you'll be receiving James' chapters 8 and 9.

Biweekly update #37

Game progress:- Coded in James' chapter 10- Added a new Patreon outfit- Worked a little bit more on the dating systemArt progress:- Drew several new backgrounds for James- Redrew the midi and maxi version of the circle skirtScript progress:- Wrote James' chapter 13- Brainstormed Gray's premise and outlineWith a new writer on board, I've been busy discussing the outline for Gray. The premise has already been nailed down. It's got a little bit of everything in it. To sum it up:MC rents out her basement to Gray, who claims to u...

Writer found!

After a bunch of applicants (including from a couple of Patreons, thank you so much!), I've found a writer that really impressed me, and I feel confident they can write Gray's route while still staying true to my own general style.Thank you so much for continuing to support me on Patreon, as I'm able to afford a second writer to help me out! It means once James is finished, I can mostly focus on Aiden's route, while the other writer focuses on Gray's route and people can enjoy a simultaneous release.Once I start brainstormin...

Aiden & Gray release

I've been thinking a lot about the future of Tailor Tales. Currently I'm working on James' route, of course, and next in line is Aiden. James is projected to be finished at the end of this year, or early 2021.Aiden is a very niche character. He is nerdy, kind of perpetually scared, suffers from social anxiety and of course... he is really submissive during sex. He enjoys being dominated and it is a core theme in his route as both he and the MC will explore their preferences and realize this is the dynamic they like.In fact, his rout...

Biweekly update #36

Game progress:- Coded James' chapter 9- Fixed an audio bug in Neil's side story- Added a winged and Peter Pan collar to the game- Coded in a new choice selection scene (specifically for James' chapter 12)Art progress:- Finished Nornus' sprite- Sketched out some more concepts for Aiden's outfits- Drew Caine's promotional imageScript progress:- Finished writing James' chapter 13- Plotted out some more of Aiden's story- Wrote a little for Caine's side storyFebruary has been quite slow for me! With my birthday (I...

Caine's promotional cover

To promote the release for Caine's route (for the free version), I decided to draw a cover art of him, sitting on a throne. Completely different colouring style as well!I have no concrete release date yet, but hopefully this month or next month <3

3.0.3 Password Plus

This month the Tailor Tales Plus Early Access will be renamed to "Tailor Tales Patreon" due to the merger with the normal game (now there's only one game for two tiers!)Tailor Tales content this month:James' chapters 6 & 7ITCH HAS BEEN A BIT GLITCHY AND MIGHT PATCH YOU WITH A CORRUPTED FILE. If you can't boot up the game anymore and you're stuck on a black screen, make Itch reinstall the game so that it's forced to redownload the files and fix the corruption. Your save file should still be there.For Monthly Pass Plus...

James' song "The Call"

Just got the song back from composer Joel Steudler (he's amazing, I wish I could afford him to replace the entire OST), and it was so amazing, I had to share.I requested a romantic song for a very specific scene for James (chapter 26, so it will take a while). If you need any context, it's basically their confession scene and there's flying involved. The song hits several beats that match the actual story, so I'm hoping it'll be a very immersive and emotional chapter!Please give some love to the composer in the comments <3

Biweekly update #35

Game progress:- Fixed a small audio bug in Neil's chapter 8- Added James' chapter 8Art progress:- Redrew Neil's 5th CG- Drew James' casual outfit- Drew Kaleb's casual outfit- Finished the bath backgroundScript progress:- Finished writing James' chapters 11 & 12Based on the previous poll, people voted for James' casual outfit, and 17 was the winner!My personal favourite design was used for Kaleb instead, which I think is quite fitting due to the asymmetry complimenting his eyes.Chapter 12 & the pollIn another poll, I ...

James' alternate outfit

Update: the clear winner is #17! Some of the other popular outfits will be given to other characters :)---I'm working on designing James' casual outfit when he's not wearing his armour, and I made a bunch. Please vote for your favourite in this straw poll:https://www.strawpoll.me/19265510/r

[SPOILERS JAMES] Should you be able to pick?

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T STARTED JAMES' ROUTE YET.Also don't read the poll if you really don't want to be spoiled with what happens in James' route.Okay? Want to know what I want to poll you about? Read on.In chapter 12, MC is attending a festival on the planet Yool. At this point in the story, you have met these characters (Jæmis is his official name, but I will always use James to talk about him):- James- Kaleb- Lana- Billius- Eeyok- Nornus- VaritusThe only one missing from the festival is Nornus.About the festival...

Neil's 6th CG updated

Wanted to redraw this CG for a while, and finally did it. MC has had a different design since over a year ago, plus it just wasn't up to par anymore in terms of quality. So enjoy, Neil's redrawn CG!

Biweekly update #34

Game progress- Added James' chapter 7- Added geometric shapes to the details tab for clothingArt progress- Finished the infirmary background- Finished the bedroom background- Finished the training room background- Finished the dining hall backgroundDidn't get much writing done in the first half as a lot of it was spent on drawing backgrounds. There's still more backgrounds left to draw, but Tailor Tales now boasts over 100 unique locations! With day/night versions that tallies up to way more.Either way, drawing the locations for Jam...

James' voiced lines are in!

A while back, Patreons had the opportunity to add their name to a list of names that James' VA would voice.The VA has finally completed his work! It will take me a while to organize all of the files, as it's like 800 files haha. If your name was on the list, James will actually voice it IF it comes up in the story. Currently, James is refusing to call Joselina by her actual name, so it will take a while before you can enjoy his voice.Also it comes in 4 different tones, one of them a flirty one that I'm sure players will enjoy ;)If i...
