That was insanely fun trying to come up with new costumes with friends! Anyway, nice article, I'm totally with ya on this one. :) You know what, City of Heroes was an amazing game, and a huge part of that fun came from, gasp, the dress up/designing portion of the game.

One of the things that constantly get mentioned against dressups that you didn't focus on is how "the market is bloated with them". Thing is, I don't think dressups are games that their audience picks up and adds to their collection of favorites like you do with arcades on kongregate for example. They're 1-time consumables, they get played once then the next one gets its share of attention. I also find it funny how people say that dressups aren't real games because they require little coding (not taking into consideration the amount of time and effort put into making the graphics for a good game). It's almost like saying ragdoll/stickmen games aren't games because there's no artwork involved.

It was the rethink the genre and games, making them accessible to others who normally wouldn't give the genre the light of day. By no means would I want traditional dress up games to be removed or for them to no longer be made. There's room for all types of games and I encourage everyone to play them. @Tudi: I think you may have misinterpreted what this design workshop article was about.

I respect your opinion and I hope you'll respect mine as well: just because I like cake, that doesn't mean I have to hate bread, just because it's easier to make. Just because I like soccer doesn't mean I have to hate baseball because I don't understand its rules. Not that I question your knowledge (I don't have a lot of experience either, so who am I to judge?), but have you ever seen a small girl play one of these dressups? Well I have and I tell you, it's a magnificent sight. You may not understand why placing a pink bow on some chibi's hair would be fun, but you'll understand once you see her face glow when she does it. Just like she wouldn't understand why I leaped in the air in nerd orgasms when I completed my T2 set in World of Warcraft back in the day. We all have our own joys, don't ruin them for the other person if they don't match your own. You know, the irony quotes around dressup games are so “newgroundsish”…

You can also make items unlockable when certain clothing combinations are created. I've got one like that on Newgrounds or a new idea I've been working on is a draw-your-own dress-up game to let players doodle their own model and clothing. I'm thinking about adding some more features but what I've got so far is here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/473230 The possiblities for coming up with creative ways to make this king of game are endless, but the drag-and-drop kind where you have to line it up pixel perfect are annoying to say the least.
