Well, as you know, I now have hired two people to help me with coding Aiden's chapters! Though nothing has been done so far, that's mostly my fault for not having enough script finished.
Gray's chapter 26 (both innocent & passionate versions) is currently being written. Which means it's almost over! Once his route is finished, I ...

So my next game will be the dating simulator! It's a contemporary modern dating game, where you can create your own MC and go out on dates with the love interests (mixed genders).
I'll be hiring an artist this time around, and I'm on the lookout for any artists I might want to commission, but I'd like your input, too! So far I've got three...

(Caine has a small cameo in Aiden's route)
Last month was... super stressful. I had to draw 3 CGs (2 for Gray, 1 for Aiden), and this month I'll have to draw another 2.
The entire thing about working on two routes at the same time, ...
2022-03-18 02:05:34 +0000 UTC View PostCurrently Patreon changed something to their API, which Itch hasn't accounted for, so when you try to download Tailor Tales Plus, it just gives you an error.
In the meantime while they fix it, I'm going to hand out personal download keys for the game. Make sure you install it through the Itch app as well (you enter the URL into their brows...

Back in the swing of things, and I'm working on writing Aiden's route, directing the new writer to finish Gray's route, and drawing all the necessary art.
I want to address everyone's criticism of Gray's route.

2022-02-18 21:22:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe 4.0.8 update is now out!
I am back in business! Will be celebrating my return with two chapters each for Gray and Aiden.
Will also point out that is not feasible, and Aiden will most likely retain 1 chapter a month, and Gray 2 chapters a month. Turns out working on two routes at the same time while struggling to...
Aiden's 2nd CG was turned into a mini-CG. Now mini-CGs are CGs but also sprites with a full range of expressions. Caine and Dimitri have also had these before. What this means, instead of staring at this scene with a static image the entire time, Aiden has a full range of expressions to match the text.
This is Aiden's chapter 10. Just to g...

As you know, January will be put on pause, though newcomers can still join and enjoy the latest content.

2022-01-01 03:53:46 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the perks for being a Plus tier supporter, is that members get a special Patreon role in the Tailor Tales Discord.
I have now seen at least three members with this role who have had their account compromised. A bot then proceeded to spam the Discord with a harmful link.

2021-12-21 04:31:49 +0000 UTC View PostSo what with putting down two of my cats last week, and Gray's writer leaving the project, and releasing the DLC on Steam, it's been quite chaotic.
I was just going to try and work a bit on Gray's route as well so that in January, he'd have two chapter released. But, as I looked over the chapters, I realized it required more art.<...

Thanks to everyone who applied before.

Did a little different kind of shading this time around.
Still looking for a new writer for Gray's route!
This is unfortunately not a very happy update.
Nadine, the writer for Gray's route, is permanently stepping away due to health issues. These remain private. I thank her for all her work so far, and for making a lovable Gray. I wish her good luck and good health.
Currently, 20 out of 30 chapters are written in total for Gray's route. ...

I've finished coding Gray's chapters 12 and 13, with chapter 13 having like 4 unique new backgrounds for the funfair event.
I don't know why I decided every ride had to have its own background, but I guess I like to suffer that way. Gray's script ...

Aiden's chapter 6 will feature its first Plus content.
Most likely Aiden's chapters will be back to 1 a month in December due to working on DLC release for Steam.

Here's Gray's 3rd CG, which shows up in chapter 12!
I like night settings so much more, since there's a lot more opportunity to play with lighting hehe.
Another survey from me!
This has to do with future otome projects. Indie otome games keep focusing more and more on custom content that the player can change. So I want to see how much interest there is in customizing your own LI versus sticking with premade designs.
Please fill out the short survey here:
Finished adding Gray's chapters 10 and 11 to the game, as well as Aiden's chapter 6. Will hopefully add Aiden's chapter 7 this month, but he is a little on the backburner again because...

2021-10-03 21:03:30 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to announce a couple of changes in Gray's route, which is still under development.
MC's animosity towards Gray
I've seen a few sentiments about MC's character in particular and how while they enjoy Gray as a character, they dislike the MC because she's too standoffish towards Gray. From other feedback before on...
Both Aiden's and Gray's route feature scenes of sexual nature that happen before the epilogue. People enjoy the plus content, so I am more comfortable adding them throughout the story now.
Figured I'd spoil you all a scene from Gray, our resident dom. Happens in Chapter 19.
Obviously NSFW and uh, sex spoilers. 2021-09-14 21:49:24 +0000 UTC View Post
