TheDress to ImpressHalloween Event has brought tons of new items, themes, and more. However, apparently, not all the changes in the game have been an improvement for the game, as developers of theRobloxgame have confirmed that the new dressing rooms will be taken out with the upcoming winter update.
The news comes from M0TOPRINCESS, one of the developers ofDress to Impress, through the DTI News Twitter account. The post states that this decision is to reduce the lag caused in the game and overall part count so everything will run smoother.
“Dressing rooms are being removed winter update. everything in the dressing room including outfits is compiled into a button like the old code item button. this is to reduce lag and part count”–@M0TOPRINCESS
Dressing rooms in Dress to Impress are leaving as quickly as they came
The officialDTI Discordserver further confirmed this change as the team posted confirmation in the announcements channel that the dressing rooms would soon be removed. Furthermore, it’s confirmed that the change was partly due to how unpopular the function was.
It’s unknown if the button that will be brought to replace the dressing rooms will look identical to the previous code button, or if it will be a new design. Furthermore, whether the menu functions identically to the old one is also unconfirmed.
It’s also currently unknown when the winter update will take place forDress to Impress, so the exact date for the removal of the dressing rooms is still a mystery. DTI is known to have smaller patches in between major updates, so it’s possible it could come sooner than expected.
The dressing rooms, introduced recently in the Halloween update and event, served as a replacement for the code button. Before the update, you could simply hit the code button and put your code items on from anywhere in the room. Now, players must walk to the dressing rooms to equip them, along with any purchased fashions.
This made it take significantly longer to put on any clothing items you received from codes, as you’d need to make the trip to the designated areas instead of the freedom to put them on from anywhere.
While the dressing rooms themselves will be removed from the game, the ability to save outfits will remain. The dressing rooms allowed players to save their current outfits during Freeplay mode to quickly put on for future use, and developers have confirmed that saving outfits will be compiled into the code button that will be brought back.
The Halloween update forDress to Impresshas been the largest yet, with an entire three-chapter story quest, countless new clothing items, hair, and makeup, and even a custom lobby to celebrate the season. While the dressing rooms have not been as successful as everything else, it’s still been a monumental upgrade for the game. The winter update will hopefully bring just as much depth.
