Hey, little critters! Time really flies, seeing as the 1 year anniversary of Artificial Fashionista is already coming up! (If that sounds early to you, it's because it was published on Itch.io 2 months before coming to Steam!) For this special occasion, I have exciting things planned, the first of which being:

The FINAL DLC PACK

Breaking free from seasonal constraints, this pack features the 5 outfits that were previously available for a limited time on my Ko-fi, and 3 unrevealed outfits: A secret surprise, a community-voted look, and a very special outfit that can be designed by one of you! ...Wait, what do I mean by "designed by one of you"? I'm glad you asked, because that leads me to our very first:

Community Fashion Contest

Just like in the game's finale, all of you are cordially invited to design your best Celebration look for this special occasion! Though what exact kind of celebration it is will be left up to you. Feel free to interpret the theme in creative ways, be it a game anniversary celebration, a cocktail party, an office Christmas party - just make sure to keep that "Fancy" stat high! The winner gets to suggest or design one outfit that will be in the final DLC pack, and both the winner and two runner-ups will get free DLC keys! > Participation & Rules <

Survey

While we're on it, I'd like to get your opinion on Artificial Fashionista (and fashion games in general) in this survey: > Fill out Survey < After this final DLC, Artificial Fashionista likely won't be getting any new content anymore, but that doesn't mean the dress-up fun has to end! This project has taught me a lot, and I'm always looking for ways to make my next ones even better! To thank you for your time, I will also be giving away an additional free copy of the DLC among all the people filling out the survey!

Patch Notes

Oh right, I also updated the game today. It really just contains 2 small improvements:

• Added the option to automatically filter a specific challenge's tags! (Either by clicking on them directly, or in the filter menu.)
• Removed the "best score" aspect from challenge mode. Just sit back and enjoy making pretty looks!

To check what else I'm up to, I also set up a public Trello board where you can track my monthly progress. Upcoming release dates and other noteworthy events are also listed there! Thank you so much for your support over the past (almost) year, and I look forward to seeing your creations!
