My Debut! - MODEL Debut 3 #nicola
Trying a New fashion game today!
Also, Happy Valentine's Day!
If you don't have someone special to spend it with, try to at least do something fun for yourself!
I'm going to be spending my day trying a new fashion game!
I've seen a few clips of this,
And heard it's "the best fashion game on switch!",
(Released around the same time as 'Fashion Dreamer')
With the only drawback being it's only available in Japanese.
So We probably won't be sticking with this too long, but let's get started!
----
Alright, it looks like we just passed our audition, and we're trying to decide what to do next... and wow.. Google Translate is really struggling with this game...
That's fine, fashion is an international language,
Ok, time to create my usual character...and..oh...
Is that really the darkest skin tone?
I know this game is made for japan, but really? Style Savvy Ds had more options, and so did Fab Style on the DS/3ds
They have a million eye designs, and a full RGB slider for hair colors,
But for skin, all you get is a very mild tan :-/
Oh well,
hmm this is interesting, they have a dedicated eye size/positioning section.
Three presets for each, eyebrow height, eye height, eye size, and pupal size.
It may feel a little limiting, but that's a bit more control than style savvy/fashion dreamer, without overwelmming the player,.
Here's my final character design: (I hope they let me edit it later)
Wow, this game has full layering, bags, and lets you equip multiple accessories!
Even though the starting options are limited, the fact that you can (as silly as it sounds) wear a neckless under a scarf.
Means you have more freedom than the older style savvy games!
(even if I still prefer the outfit designs in SS)
wow there is a lot of dialogue in this game...
umm, I just wanted to have fun making outfits, what is all of this?
Ok, so I guess this is the SS 'Photo studio' equant:
You can't move the camera, but you can adjust the pose, expression and background. (real backgrounds in a game like this look pretty weird.
You'll also have added controls for head position and gaze direction:
Anyways, with our first photo shoot out of the way, we now get to see the world map:
our only option is to go to the studio, so lets start there:
And once we arrive, we're given a few jobs to choose from:
I really don't know what any of these mean, so we'll go with the 'Cherry blossom viewing coordination' as I think that may just mean "style using pink", maybe?
Nope, it looks like they want me to dress in a casual top for work,
Luckily everything is labeled here, so you can just scroll over an item and check the tags.
I'm not sure if all items need to match or we just need something that fits the theme, so let's try this:
This is cute, but apparently dresses don't count for the 'casual top' category, (I should have guessed.)
Nope, They're still complaining about the "illustration, I'll need to look that up..."
ok, I found a fantastic video from the youtuber "HamsterButtocks", and watched the start of her playthrough.
Turns out, you need both tags shown to mach the item in question,
so, we'll use the search function to find a top that matches both requirements.
Next up is posing and framing and we're done!
Once you complete the job you get points to 'rank up' as a model,
and you get little NPC comments on your post.
And it looks like once we get further in, we'll eventually unlock some fashion show type event:
So very interesting, I should have guessed from the game's title,
But unlike Style Savvy and Fashion Dreamer, this game seems to be exclusively about modeling, and dressing up your own character, rather than helping others find their own sense of style.
That's fine, and it's a neat idea, Style Savvy Fashion Forward ad a similar event, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about sticking with a full game based around that.
I'm still super early on, and I'm sure tons more options will unlock as I go, but this seems to be the core gameplay loop.
I had fun trying it out, and I may go back later,
But for now, I have to work on the new fashion dreamer event that just went live, and I still have to finish Style Savvy: trendsetters, so I got plenty of stuff to do!
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed another entry in my weird fashion game blog!
