Dressmaker July Tea: Launch Date Announcement

Dearest Dressmakers,

A little pigeon has notified me that our niche indie game now has over 200,000 wishlists!

The little pigeon also told me that we finally have a launch date: 21 September 2026!

The pigeon couldn't keep its beak shut, and also says that content creators who wish to sign up for an early build to make content under embargo can do so here.

Sadly the pigeon was caught and caged before it could reveal any more juicy secrets.

But we do have some exciting things to show you! The front desk has gotten a makeover to make it brighter, more open and more colourful. The upside-down 福 character continues to be intentional.

We're continuing to work on various UI to try and make the new player experience easier to understand. The ideal is for the UI itself to be intuitive so that tutorializing everything isn't as necessary, especially in case you take a break from the game and forget how to play.

And of course, most importantly, we've been continuing to add new dress patterns, fabrics and accessories. And there's no better way to show them off than with player-made dresses! Here are some dresses made by blueisasome, Ser Wobbles the Wobbly, DannyMothHere, MothIn30Seconds, CoffeeClearwingMoth, nanda, and Wilt and Eli (the last being a 2 person collab).

With the launch of the game less than eight weeks away(!), we think we're in a good spot, but we also feel as if we're planning a wedding. We have the date, the venue, we've organised catering and decor, the dresses, and the invites have been sent, with a number of RSVPs received. Everything seems to be well-planned and in place. And yet... is there something we've forgotten? A backup officiant? Will we need someone to throw out drunk Uncle Larry? Can we get a backup bride?

Yours faithfully,

The Dressmaker Team
