Some James snippets
Been spending the past two weeks writing James' chapters 23 and 24 and it's taking me a long time... mostly because each chapter is nearing roughly 10k words, oof.Also, I'm nearing 170k words!Anyways, I figure you'd like a few snippets from the chapters, just to give you a taste of how the relationship between James and MC is developing!Spoilers, of course.---Eeyok leans in closer to me."Prince Jæmis has grown softer since your arrival," he whispers in my ear.I blink at ...
No biweekly updates this month
Hi everyone! I usually post a biweekly update to let you all know how progress is going.I'm dealing with some family issues which has brought a great deal of stress on me. Having to also think about posting the updates stresses me out further. So I'm going to not post them this month!I'll still be working as usual and will post something here and there anyway ❤For example, Nicky's design was updated and now he looks like this!And as some of you may have noticed, there's a c...

Personality type for the MC
Survey time! What type of personality for the MC do you enjoy or relate to the most?Do the survey here: https://forms.gle/x182rd2j2hUkTZBp6Tailor Tales lets you choose between fierce and kind, but the main character herself still has her own traits (for example, she's never really shy). So I'm curious what your ideal kind of main character would be.
MC's superhero costume
Now that we're back on earth in James' route, the superheroes part of the story will finally start to shine.Joselina, the MC, will eventually create her own superhero costume, aka 'supersuit'. She makes one for James as well, and originally I intended for them to be matching (white/black/cyan colour scheme), but I was wondering if people would like to pick out their own colours?The supersuit of MC would show up in at least one CG, and if you can pick your own colours, this CG wou...

These last chapters I've written definitely showcase the gr...
Endings fixed!
Last month someone got the wrong ending when playing Caine's route. I looked over the code and fixed the mistake. When testing, it seemed to work.However, it turns out I just made it worse haha.So I've updated the game once more to fix everyone's endings. It should now properly bring you to the right epilogue ending if it is your main route! Sorry for the error!

Taxes heads-up
A reminder that next month will abide by the US laws which means digital products must now also include sales tax. This means everyone's pledge will increase slightly by roughly a dollar or two, depending on where the live.Thanks for sticking around! The update will be released on the 4th as usual, which will include James' chapters 15 and 16.
Another side character to lust after
Here's the sketch for the character Jed! He will appear in Gray's route, being his best friend, and a love interest for Sarah.It's the first time I had to draw a rugged looking man, so I slapped on some facial hair as well because that's... definitely been lacking in the game.Anyways, Jed's secretly a big softie on the inside, despite looking very muscular and being Gray's right hand in combat.I should probably mention that no, he is not a candidate for the 7th route, lol...
Biweekly update #45
Game progress- Coded in James' chapter 17Script progress- Gray's first 5 chapters have been editedArt progress- Finished redrawing the park background (see Neil's screenshot above)- Finished James' 5th CG- Finished the cabin inside backgroundsIt may not look like it, but a lot of progress was made this month! All of James' outfits were finished. A new character was added. A CG was drawn, including a bunch of backgrounds as well (or redrawn).I'm excited to develop the rest...
Biweekly update #44
Script progress:- Started writing Caine's 1st side story- Finished writing James' chapter 20Art progress:- Finished the lake cabin background (pictured above)- Finished the many variations of James' new outfits- Finished a secret character spriteFeast your eyes on James' new outfit, as voted by Patreons. James goes through a ridiculous count of outfits in a short amount of time. I guess it looks more than it really is, because James also has a crossed arms version of each outfit....
New OST
One of the goals set on the Patreon was for a fully customized OST for Tailor Tales.Currently, Tailor Tales is mostly a mix of royalty free music from a stock website, with a few custom pieces here and there. Most of the music in James' route was composed by Joel Steudler.Thanks to everyone's support, I have a budget big enough to be able to have him replace the entire current OST with custom music! He will try to stick close to the spirit of the original :)Since that's at least 36 t...

James' casual earth outfit - final vote!
Overwhelmingly, people just really enjoyed that black jacket with the red stripes. Unfortunately, I decided against the jacket because it felt too similar to Caine's outfit. Because they share scenes together, I didn't think it would look nice if both characters look the same. Also, Caine would raise hell for James copying his style.So I shifted through the popular votes, and of course black is the most popular, but I refuse to do an all-black outfit for James (black is boring in visual ...
James' new outfit
James needs a new outfit for earth! Help me decide which outfit he eventually gets. If you like to mix/match the styles, there's an option for that, too :)Take the survey here:https://forms.gle/ButAMA1tYHf2dATx5
Taxes starting in June
There will be some Patreon changes next month that are out of my control. Due to some new laws in the US, tiers will now have US taxes on top of them, depending on where the Patreon lives. This can mean anywhere from 4% to 10% more.The Monthly Pass Plus tier might raise to $11 instead of $10.This is a head's up post so you won't be surprised if the price is suddenly slightly higher.
Self-insert survey results
Hopefully you can click these to read them. If you can't view their original size, here's a link to a bigger resolution: https://imgur.com/a/MvO1AdxAnyways, thank you everyone for entering the survey!

Please take my survey about self-inserting! This will give me a lot of insight on how certain players like to control the game and the main character.
James' 4th CG
SPOILERSFinally finished James' 4th CG! Which will be shown in chapter 15.I had a lot of fun drawing this one, especially the background. I guess this CG spoils enough that MC will be returning to earth!Also, it's the last time we'll see his Vegeta hair.And some progress shots as well, just to show you how it's done:It may not have been obvious because the sprites are cut off below the waist mostly during the game, but James has a cape on his butt! Here's James' full spri...

Small Aiden sample
Aiden is the 5th love interest, getting developed after James' route. He is the submissive one of the bunch and his route deals a lot with gentle femdom.Because of the nature of his route, it's highly sexually charged. I showed a sample of one of his scenes to my beta players and asked them if I could show this in the free version, or if this was Plus material. They all agreed it was Plus material.It seems like Aiden's route requires unique restrictions. I don't think I can write...
For those that haven't tried out James' route
There are some Patreons who haven't yet tried out James' route. Reasons such as wanting to wait until it's completed (this will take until next year though!), or simply because James isn't their type.I encourage you to try out his route either way. James' route is the most plot heavy of them all, and nothing inherently romantic has happened yet in the latest chapters (1-12). So even if you think he's not your type because he is rude, cold etc. then give his route a shot e...
Fashion events
One of my goals this year was to add fashion events to the game. This was a way for Patreon users to still use the clothing system (since one of the perks is being able to skip chapter requirements). It meant every piece of clothing had a certain style to it, and you were required to design something in that style.This meant the clothing system has to be recoded from the ground up. Not only that, but then the system itself has to be created (and tested!) as well.To sum it up; it's a lot of w...

Which is great, considering James' route is simp...
