## What it does

Dollz were drag-and-drop pixel paper dolls (a base doll plus layered hair, clothes and accessories) framed in glittery Y2K pages with 88×31 buttons; one archive lists 230+ working dollmakers, and nostalgia Shorts about them still draw tens of thousands of views. An agent can run a combinatorial dollmaker over original part libraries, or take the AI route (image model → nearest-neighbor downscale → palette quantization → transparency cleanup), then add sparkle sprites and glitter text for PNG, GIF and MP4 output.

## Status

A format people ask for that has no dedicated skill yet. Make it with the skills on the use-case pages below, or with varg directly.

Example: https://dollzmania.neocities.org/

How an agent would make it: Original base doll + layered part sets → combinatorial dollmaker, or image model → nearest-neighbor downscale → palette quantization → sparkle sprites, glitter text, 88×31 buttons → PNG / GIF / MP4

**Models it drives:** nano_banana_2_1, minimax_h3_max_style_16bit_pixel, render
