it's meh

this software's one and only job is to put a 3d model of miku on your desktop for $15, which it does. the question is whether this product sold for money does more than a shimeji which were popular desktop pets in uh... 2012? 2010? earlier?

she has about five animations total and you will see all of them within two minutes of opening the program; she cycles through a new one every eight seconds. more animations and significantly less adhd from the idol could go a long way here

interactivity includes petting her with your mouse cursor, holding your mouse cursor (but not doing anything rude like moving it for you). she also does exactly one thing when you click on her

you can click and drag her to put her on whatever windows you want but you cannot throw her which is a very significant missing feature

if we're still doing desktop pets in the year of our lord 2025 i think it should wow the user by being meticulously aware of what you're doing; enough that every once in a while u discover a new thing she can do. make her greet u when u unlock your desktop, make her dance to music ur listening to (maybe intelligently aware of the bpm who knows). make her watch the videos you're watching or something. we have the technology

i purchased this program because (vaguely gestures toward blue haired woman) but if u like hatsune miku u can get fulfillment from these activities which have a similar level of interactivity:

- listen to vocaloid music: chug jug with you miku cover does not count its $CURRENTYEAR why can U not name 3 wowaka songs what is Ur deal dude.
- peruse art of hatsune miku on xitter: there is a lot of it and you can make it your desktop wallpaper or something
- play hatsune miku project diva: dont like rhythm games? me neither dude but i deal
- buy a plush of her: great as a sleeping companion and/or football
- think about her: usually blue, but can be green depending on taste

she's also coming to fortnite apparently so u can purchase her there if thats to your liking

it has come to my attention snow miku is coming as well: assuming its basically the same thing, save ur $15

i wrote this review before mod support became a thing which i havent followed too closely but since u can probably do that with the free ver u should probably just use the free ver if ur curious

I find it also more disapointing this Destop pet, there i find VPet a lot better, far more interaction possibility and Animations and so one.

By complete default, the program is very simple and easy, yes. However, you can mod the program to have a very huge amount of characters with any VRM character. I used Vroid Hub, and now I have a wonderful Bocchi on my PC. :D And you can get Hatsune Miku as a mod too, so you don't have to pay the $15(though I prob will, just to support the dev). Anyways, being able to mod it pretty easily makes it extremely worth it IMO.

thanks

i do not, but while writing the review i did do research on desktop pets - the market is a barren wasteland, the most advanced one i could find was the desktop goose that came out 5 years ago and even that feels like it uses about 20% of the potential a program like that could have

shimejis, which i mention by name in the review, were little toys written in java you could download from deviantart and not only could you do things like throw them but they would also like climb up the sides of your non-fullscreen windows and be a general bother, i think the world is due for an update

For a "more traditional" rhythm game, try the mobile-only Colorful Stage.
