Hint: The majority of the time was spent on the art. Here's the game I made in it, playable in browser.
Here's what you'll need to make your own dress-up game!
Tools:
- Ren'Py (free to download!)
- Art (a character base and clothes)
To start, get your base and clothes ready. For the purposes of this tutorial, I'll provide a few screenshots and such of my structuring. Here's an example of a character base (left) and a clothing item (right). Note: I keep the clothes the exact same size as the character base so I don't have to deal with setting exact x/yalign in Ren'Py.
To make the options, we're going to make textbuttons! So, create a new projects and open up screens.rpy.

There's still a lot of things you can add such as an About button for the About menu, a music slider, etc, so I'll go over a couple of those here as well.
