Dress Up Template for Ren'Py

This is a dress up template for making basic dress up minigames in Ren'Py. It was created in Ren'Py 8.3.4.24120703. (It should work with newer versions of Ren'Py as well, but it has not been tested in them.)

The web version on this page shows an example of the dress up minigame in action.

Features:

• Drag-and-drop dress up mechanics like Flash games of old
• Easy set up - just put images into folders
• Clothing order - keep hats above shirts!
• PC, smartphone, and web support
• Bonus: Download the additional script.rpy if you would like to make a standalone dress up game!

The only file you need from this template (dressuptemplate.zip) is dressup.rpy. The others are included only for your reference to see the template in action. Put the entire unzipped folder and run it from Ren'Py if you would like to test it out.

This dress up template assumes that the assets are all the same size and have the clothing items prepositioned where you would want them to appear on the minigame.

The template shows a dress up minigame included in a visual novel, but if you would like to make a standalone dress up game in Ren'Py, download the additional file for the standalone game (script.rpy).

If you use this template, I would appreciate it if you credit npckc (https://npckc.net or https://npckc.itch.io) or the template in some way, but it is not required.

Notes:

• This template has only been tested in Ren'Py 8.3.4.24120703 and may not work in older versions of Ren'Py. For newer versions, please refer to Ren'Py's Incompatible Changes page and adjust accordingly if you run into any issues.
• To make the template easier to use, focus_mask True is used for the clothing items. This can cause performance issues for large amounts of clothing items. When tested with 100 items, there was some lag when loading the dress up screen but no noticeable lag during the actual dress up gameplay.
