Hi there everyone! I'm Celianna, and been developing Tailor Tales for a while now, though I don't really have much to show for how long it's been in development. About 90% of the graphics were made by me, including all portraits, sprites and most of the tiles.
Tailor Tales is a romance game heavily inspired by Harvest Moon, and a bit from Animal Crossing, being made with RPG Maker VX. You play as a tailor and make clothes while you live your life in the town of Claner. You can chat with NPCs, and court 5 of them - which is really the main part of Tailor Tales. The plot isn't that important, but you meet a fox who is actually a human, cursed by a gypsy and you have to help him turn back into a human.
It is not a visual novel that seems to be very popular in these forums (I personally can't play them, I like having the freedom of exploring), but more like a RPG game such as Harvest Moon.
Other than making clothes and wooing bachelors, there's several other things you can do. Such as collecting items around town, digging up artifacts at the digsite, visiting the weekly market, participating in festivals and there might be more in the future since it's still in development. I probably won't update this thread that much, so please visit the blog for updates, I update quite frequently.
Tailor Tales, if it would ever be finished, would be released with a censored version and an uncensored version. The uncensored version includes the option to have sex with the bachelor after you're married to him, the censored version won't have any mention of this at all to allow younger players to still play the game.
Tailor Tales is 100% free and is not a commercial game.
