Shimeji design for Streibough/Straybow from the game Live A Live! Same commissioner as last time who once again gave me permission to make the shimeji public :) Woe Wizard Boy Be Upon Ye
You can download the image files HERE! I hope anyone who decides to get him has fun with their funky wizard!!!
If you’d like to give your wizard boy a friend I’ve made an Oersted shimeji as well :) You can get him here! I’m sure the two will have nothing but good times together <3
(NOTE: If you downloaded Oersted in the past, please re-download the image files! The “grabbing a window” animation has been updated to fix an issue with an update from Windows!)
These two took me a while but they were super worth it, thanks for everyone's patience in waiting for these! I always want to make sure my shimejis are the best quality possible so I really hope everyone enjoys them!!
To run them simply update to the latest version of Java and run the Shimeji-ee.jar file and the two will spawn on your desktop and roam around!
Do you want a tiny lil' guy walking around your screen while you work? Distracting you the whole time? Well look no further! I bring you the tiny devil that's Wukong!!! As a cute lil' shimeji, of course! You can download this tiny guy for free!
You can pet him, throw him around, dangle him by his feet and well- Yeah. That's. That's pretty much it. He is quite adorable though, no?
You can download him for free, here.
(Macaque ghost made by Venelona. Not me, I'm just using an image where they are standing next to each other.)
How to download, down below.
Just a heads up though, I didn't do any of the coding or anything, I just drew all the images for the shimeji so the art is fully made by me. Which does mean if there are some technical issues working the shimeji, I would suggest checking out THIS video and NOT sending ME an ask about it.
There are some issues with Windows 11 so the tiny guy may or may not be able to throw windows etc. The video has some tricks that might work for you but it might not(I couldn't get it to work for me lmfao.) Best of luck either way.
Download the SHIMEJI folder from the drive.
Extract the unzipped file.
Then double click on shimeji-ee
If you want to make your own shimeji, you can download the thing from here. You just gotta replace the img files and BAM!! Tiny gremlin!!
I probably won't make a Macaque shimeji, but if season 5 of LMK triggers my shadowpeach brainrot I might make a shadowpeach couple shimeji with Wukong and Macaque in their cute lil beach outfits.
Like I said, if you have trouble getting shimeji to work, your best bet is asking KonfluxGames, he has a discord where he answers questions sometimes, which you can find the link in the description of his videos.
If you send me an ask that already has an answer here, I probably won't answer sorry kasdfjk
I think i've only ever seen 1 in existence, so to keep my Legion company on my desktop I made Dead by Daylight's Ghost Face!
He'll steal stuff, he'll walk around, he'll stare at you!
This Shimeji-ee doesn't duplicate itself, nor have I drawn the images for it to be possible, but i may add it later on ^^;
If you want to add programs for the shimeji-ee to be able to interact with (he can pick up and throw them sometimes), just use notepad to edit the settings.properties file in the conf folder.
Add it to the list of "InteractiveWindows" with the EXACT executable name and they'll be able to walk/hold onto them!
Other than that, he's just a lil guy doing lil guy things!!
If anyone has any trouble installing it, you're more than welcome to reach out and ask me questions! I can usually troubleshoot the problems to get it working.
GET YOUR VERY OWN GARFIELD DESKTOP BUDDY (mainly for windows)
How to do the basics of getting shimeji to work:
tutorial video
Link to the garfield assets (place the folder inside of the img folder):
Google garf drive
Unfortunately, though, I couldn't find a good website to share the whole file with, so I'm giving you a link to the SPRITES and BASIC SHIMEJI DOWNLOAD (shimeji website) as well as instructions under the cut.
[Windows only. make sure you have java! it won't work without it!]
Download shimeji base from the shimeji website (the link in red takes you straight to it). The zip should be called shimejiee.
Extract files from zip
Go into your newly extracted shimejiee folder and open up the file labeled img, this is where the sprites are. Inside the Shimeji folder should be sprites of the little blob guy from the website (the pink link).
Delete the Shimeji folder.
Go to my google drive link (yellow) and download it, inside are the Majora sprites. KEEP IT LABELED SHIMEJI, IT NEEDS TO BE CALLED THAT FOR THE CODE TO RECOGNIZE IT.
Put the Major Shimeji file in the img folder where the old shimeji folder was.
Exit out of the img folder and double-click the Shimeji-ee executable file, your desktop pet should drop after a few seconds.
Feel free to rename the folder holding everything (shimejiee) to something else, like Majora shimeji or Majora desktop pet. Just DO NOT rename the file holding the actual Majora sprites.
*NOTE: the picking up window animation might look weird, that's because I have never seen Majora do that and so I have no idea what it looks like in action. Even as I'm typing this I haven't seen it; hopefully in the future I will fix it if need be.
If you've run into any problems, go to the Read Me! File and see if your problem is addressed there, see if you have the latest version of java (java 8 ), and that you have a windows computer. If none of these apply/work... sorry bro i only drew the sprites.
sorry for being dead i was working on wonderful shimejis ✨
i've always wanted to make shimejis both for myself and for other people to have live on their desktop so i am proud to announce my paintelly shimejis!!
i spent like 3 days straight working on these, they have a lot of interactivity and have been specially coded to reflect the mannerisms of the actual characters, so it'd be really neat if you checked them out!! They can also hug each other and be petted, alongside various other things you can see in the actions menu!
To run them simply update to the latest version of Java and run the Shimeji-ee.jar file and the two will spawn on your desktop and roam around!
so for the past day and a half ive been developing a Manolo Sánchez Shimeji. if you dont know what this is, its essencialy a little desktop companion, that runs around and does funny little animations to keep you company while you work.
ive got a basic walk cycle and a rough sketch for a falling and swinging animation but nothing else just yet!
and my stupid ass left his unsupervised for about 20 minutes
you can imagine my surprise when i returned from doing my chores and found 27 little Manolo's running around my screen like caged mice
he promptly multiplied even MORE as i was writing this
anyway, his development his going smoothly, so i decided to make a small little video describing how much enjoyment i get from watching my little Sánchez run from one side of my screen to the other, Enjoy
[for the best watching experience, audio is encouraged to be turned on, thank you!]
