It’s been a while, but Tailor Tales is chugging along! Eeyok’s route has been completed as of yesterday.

His full route is available to play to Patreons at the moment. So if you can’t wait until he’s released in full on Steam, then pledge to the Patreon and play his full route!

What is Eeyok’s route about? Well, set in the 1760’s, you are just an ordinary tailor until you get proposed by the Duke, because apparently, you come from a very special lineage… Things take a turn when you are executed for crimes you didn’t commit after your wedding with the Duke. Eeyok tried to save you, but it was too late.

And then you wake up a year earlier, right before your proposal to the Duke! Time has rewound, and you have no idea why, but are grateful for the opportunity.

One thing is for sure; you need Eeyok on your side, as he was the only one that tried to save you.

With over 59 unique backgrounds (100+ variations!), 178k words, and many different outfits for Eeyok, this route marks the second biggest in scope and longest in length in Tailor Tales, right after James’ route. It’s also why it took longer to complete!

If you like historical fantasies with twists and turns and see your knight fall in love with you, then Eeyok’s route is right up your alley.

Eeyok’s full route is available on Patreon.
Steam release TBA.

Gray’s route is finally releasing on Steam & Itch after undergoing some editing and beta testing. He will be available to play on April 20th.

He will also voice your MC’s name (provided it’s on the list of 300 approved names)!

Along with Gray’s release, James’ Plus DLC will also be available for purchase on April 20th.

Aiden’s first 9 chapters will also be available to play for free users. Aiden’s full route release will come in the form of a DLC (due to the sexual content in his route), with no ETA yet. Patreon users are able to play Aiden’s full route without any wait.

All 6 love interests finished

Aiden’s epilogue was finished last month, and his final CG was drawn only a week ago. That wraps up the 6 original love interests for Tailor Tales that were planned, making this game fully complete!

Of course, Tailor Tales was created so that more stories could be added in the future, including new love interests. Eeyok was a side character in James’ route and won the poll on Patreon to become the 7th love interest. His route will start development next month.

But what’s this… an 8th route!? Yep! Zex will be the 8th love interest of Tailor Tales, he will be the next in line after Eeyok’s route is finished. This is still far off into the future though!

Until then, enjoy Gray’s route! 🖤

It’s been a while since I posted! I mostly keep updates on my Patreon page.

But Gray’s route is now 100% coded. Hooray!

As much as I’d love to release it to the free users as well as on Steam, that’s going to have to wait. Due to the feedback I’ve gotten on the story from my Patreons, who have followed every chapter, I have decided to go over Gray’s story and edit it based on this feedback. Which means Gray’s route won’t be released on Steam until this editing has been finished. This will likely be in 2023.

I want people to enjoy Gray’s route so I’ll make sure to polish it! When Gray’s route will be released, Aiden’s first 9 chapters will be released alongside it as well.

Aiden’s route is still being worked on, currently having 21 chapters finished (available on Patreon). His route will be the only route you can’t fully play for free due to the sexual nature of the route. Therefor, chapters 1 through 9 will be free to play, after that, you will have to purchase his Plus DLC to continue. Why can’t he be fully free, why can’t I just code in an option to make the sexual scene fade to black? Well, because the sexual nature of the route is integral to both Aiden and the MC. 4 out of 6 current CGs are sexual – it would be unfair for players skipping the sexual content and they don’t get to see the CGs. Not to mention you will lose so much information about what happened and lose out on the relationship development between the both of them.

Aiden’s route will be completed in 2023.

Once Aiden’s route is finished, I will start work on the 7th route; Eeyok! He will feature a more plot-heavy game much like James’ route, and a lot of familiar faces from previous routes will return. If you enjoy villainess webtoons – you’re going to love this route!

Giving you all an update! The Steam DLC is currently in the works for Neil, Dimitri and Caine.

Steam needs to approve the sexual content and then do one final review. After it’s been approved, there’s a mandatory 2-week wait period. I also have to test out whether the DLC is properly integrated or not.

I’m aiming for a release in December if all goes well!

In Aiden’s route, you play a MOBA called Legendary Arena with friends. You will also chat with these friends in an app called Chaos Chat.

Whilst it isn’t 100% a chat simulator, we worked hard to get it to feel as immersive and authentic as possible.

These features are available in the chat system:
– Create your own username
– Choose your own avatar icon
– Set 10 custom emojis
– Use night or light mode
– If the MC sends a selfie of herself, you can now see an accurate picture of her
– MC’s thoughts are shown in a thought bubble in the bottom left
– Real time typing from other users

When other characters are typing, you will actually see them typing. Sometimes you might even see them type but not actually say anything at all – just like real life!

When loading into the chat, you will notice that the chat isn’t empty either. After all, MC is supposed to be friends with these characters for a while, so it would be strange if this is the first time they spoke to each other. Instead of starting with a blank screen (with the exception of Xiggy!), previous messages will show up to highlight the dynamics of the characters and show a bit of backstory. Or they will continue to talk amongst themselves as the story progress. You can always read these messages by scrolling up, but it isn’t required to follow the story.

To keep things exciting there’s usually more fierce/kind choices to be made during chats.

So while it isn’t 100% “do whatever you want and say whatever you want” the chat system should feel authentic and immersive.

James has been released!

In an alternate world where people have superpowers, Joselina (you) has one of her own. However, instead of fighting crime, she uses it to create superhero suits for the actual superheroes. One day during an attack on the city, a superhero crash lands in front of her boutique and she saves him.

…But he isn’t a hero – he’s a villain.

James has a unique perk where your name gets voiced if it belongs to one of the 200 names this list, including the default name.

Starting James’ route
Let the update run its course in the Itch app, then load your manual save file. You can access James’ route by clicking the cogwheel for Settings, click Characters and select James. Here you can start a new route.

Don’t have the game on the Itch app and have a standalone version? Simply download the new game from this page, and then add it to the same location as where you installed Tailor Tales. Make sure to replace everything. Your save file and custom clothes will remain intact.

James’ Plus
The final two CGs for James are Plus CGs and can only be unlocked if you have James’ Plus. Currently James’ Plus is only available through Patreon. In the future, it will be available as a DLC on Steam as well.

Aiden’s 1st chapter will be released on Patreon in June, which means I can finally focus on prepping the game to release it on Steam/Itch with James’ full route.

I will want to commission some artwork to celebrate his release, so that will have to take a bit, roughly two months perhaps. But no worries, James will be coming to you this year!

Once I’ve got the artwork for his release finished, I can give you a concrete release date :)

In the meantime, here’s a couple of screenshots of his route!
