Vogue Tales Gameplay Tips: -------------- Wendy can only carry one thing at a time so if you mess up (say you have a pattern in your hand and you were supposed to pick up clothing instead) you can either click on the pattern again and it will disappear or you can discard it in the trash bin. Although she only carries one item at a time, Wendy can also swap out items on the ribbon/lace/fur machines only (NOT on cloth/patters/outfits). For example, if you have a dress in your hand that needs lace and thereâs already a dress in the machine, just click on it and youâll be holding the finished dress now as the machine begins to work on the new dress. Wendy doesnât need to collect money or give impatient customers the magazines so you can perform those actions while sheâs doing other things. The bolts of cloth are grouped in twos and from what I can tell; you canât attach a pattern to a bolt of cloth if the bolts right next to it is in use. This doesnât pose too much of a problem because each customerâs request tends to point towards an accessible bolt of cloth. However, keep this in mind anyway as you dress your mannequins. If you are making an extra dress and an impatient customer comes in, you will have to make him/her wait. You donât get penalized for discarding garments but it does make everything take longer so if youâre having trouble getting used to the gameplay, save your mannequin for mistakes first â That way you have a chance to make up for a mistake by earning $$ Patience is a Virtue: --------------------- The customers are rather patient in this game and you should have no problem serving them all (as long as you donât screw up). Lucky for you, there is a stack of Fashion Magazines that you can give to your customers to make them happy. Donât bother questioning why there are high-fashion glossy mags in medieval times⦠just go with it. Oddly enough, these magazines seem to work on both men and women. Once the stack of magazines runs down, it replenishes itself rather quickly the first time around but gets slower each time you go through the stack. Donât be afraid to use them to maximize your tips in the early rounds. There are plenty of other ways to increase customer patience as the game progresses as well. (See âUpgradesâ) TIP: I noticed that youâll have more chances to sell extra clothes off the mannequins if you donât embellish them. For example, if you have a yellow dress and the customer wants lace, you can pop the dress into the lace machine and save time⦠but if the customer simply wants a yellow dress, Voila! You have one ready! Upgrades: --------- This game has quite a few upgrades for both the shop (Decorations) and the output (patterns, cloth, etc.) Note: Since it took me a little while to get used to the gameplay flow, I spent more $$ upgrading the shop than I did adding more patterns and bolts of cloth. This seemed to work well. Shop upgrades are fairly inexpensive and add greatly to both your customerâs patience level and the amount of tips you receive. You can proceed nicely through the game without adding all the patterns at once. This helps you get a better feel for the flow as well and makes it less confusing. There are also âAutomatic Upgradesâ that occur in the game. For example: Wendy receives a new pair of shoes that make her go faster and the male mannequin suddenly appears at the beginning of the second level. NOTE: Since the first level is always the easiest, try not to purchase too many decorations. You have to re-purchase them in every new shop anyway, so try saving some of that money instead for when youâll really need it. Keep your hat on!: ------------------ The game also has a âHat Standâ it comes with one womenâs hat (you have to buy the rest).
