Material

Just the art. No brains, no player, no code.

This is a plain Shimeji image set. Drop it in an img folder and any Shimeji-style player picks it up. Nothing else in the box.

Whose drawing is this?

Not mine. This is the classic default character (and its dark-haired sibling) that ship with the original Shimeji and Shimeji-ee, created by Yuki Yamada / Group Finity. I'm only re-packaging it here so anyone testing a Shimeji player has something to drop in immediately, without hunting one down first.

Original licence and readme are in the download. If you want a pet that's actually yours, you can make one for free — including turning a single drawing into a full pack — at:

How to use it

1. Unzip the pack.
2. Drag the img folder into wherever your player lives.
3. Pick the image set from the player's menu.

That's it. Works with any standard Shimeji-family player — this is just pixels and XML, nothing is locked to anything.

Want one that talks back?

I also make a player that lets these things hold a conversation and act out the reply — walks to a wall and climbs it if you tell it to go up, that sort of thing. This art pack works with it too. Find it on my profile if you're curious.
