Dearest Dressmakers,
The big day is here, and I hope you all celebrate with wonderful dresses while I hyperventilate in the bathroom.
We’ve made a game so devoid of violence, so flagrantly feminine and so painfully sincere that we were swiftly barred from Free Lives’s social media, lest we tarnish their name and cause them to lose their founding membership to the South African Chapter for More Blood in Video Games.
In the immediate weeks we’ll be releasing small updates to fix any bugs found since release, with a sprinkling of new fabrics and accessories on top to look forward to.
We’ve also begun work on some other exciting content for a chunkier update(s) a little further down the line:
An online challenge mode, where you can compare your dress designs with other dressmakers and vote for your favourites.
Transparent fabrics that weren’t included in the launch version of the game. Layered transparency with double-sided meshes requires some extra work to get looking right.
The game runs fast on the Steam Deck, but we want to give it proper controller support.
We’re also planning mobile and Switch ports, which have been requested constantly on our various social media channels.
Thank you for all of your support, all the way from the first prototype. The game wouldn’t have gotten greenlit without your loud and vocal encouragement. We can’t wait to see what you make!
The Dressmaker Team
