Updated Clothing Designer
With the coming addition of patterns the outfit creator was in need of an update. Patterns are clothing variants that use the same underlying texture but can be recoloured or masked in different locations. The new outfit creation screen lets you see the different patterns available for an outfit, toggle between them, and set either the main colour or the pattern colour.
v0.16.0 will have a small collection of patterns, which I am currently rendering, included to bug test the system. More will be included for v0.16.1 and I expect the number of patterns to grow considerably beyond then as they are both much faster to render and take up much less memory when compared to a full clothing image set.

Hey Vren, we still need some method for importing outfits from XML files directly to the player's wardrobe that they can give to girls. Any chance this feature will make its way into the game soon?
Good with the clothing.... now how about the actual Models. Are there plans to make Stephanie and Lily actually look more like their old pretty selves or is Lily now that god awful ugly thing we saw a few days ago?
Right now all the girls use the same face. I'm 90% certain the plan is to give the main characters a more unique appearance once the game is fully fleshed out. But it's really not important at the current stage of the game.
oh pretty
something i dont want in the game, but i have been thinking about it a couple of times ability to change the body shape and pose of the mannequin i dont really want it in the game because i dont think it will bring anything to the game, the current simple showcase is good enough in my opinion the only thing this would be actually good for is to check for clipping of clothes or something, especially if you could cycle through all the poses in chosen outfit
You would work a bit with the interface design. Make it neater.
Does it still have a selection of preset colours, or is it purely RGB sliders now? Is there any particular reason why transparency isn't a slider? Futureproofing for when it has an impact on sluttiness perhaps? If there was one quality of life improvement to the whole thing I could ask for it'd be for an automatically updating colour swatch of "Other colours used in this outfit." Or alternatively, the ability to click on a "current item" without removing it. It would make it much easier to go back and edit sets since the exact colours you chose would be right there. "Upgrading" from slips to high-heels on an old outfit without changing the colour, for example.
