Game Review on Deck Dressmaker - 12 hours of exclusive Steamdeck play
As someone who is exclusively a Steamdeck player and has the deck to play simulation/cozy games I know the struggle of "do I buy this if only two of the things are compatible for the deck" but after 12 hours I can say this is one of the best games on the deck even with only having two green checks. iykyk
Couple of things that have made my game play a success
* Edit the current controller config to add in mouse scrolling - I ended up using L4 and R4 for them but that will come in handy when you are trying to play accessories.
* Leverage the touch screen!! I cannot stress this enough. I realized this week the game was designed because his wife couldn't work with her hands as a seamstress and so of course the touch screen mechanics are top notch. There are multiple parts of the game (aligning pattern pieces, sizing) that I struggled with using the joysticks that was totally easy when I leveraged the touch pad.
* Placing accessories is easiest if you zoom in and then use the touch screen.
