"WT" Shimeji.
Hello guys.
I've been in an offline mode for the past 2+ days. Was busy working on a "Witch Trainer" Shimeji.
Two days ago I never even heard about the thing. Then, Klyts brought it to my attention... At first I was very skeptical about the whole thing but after I did some research I decided to give it a try. I soon realized two things.
Number one: I really enjoy working on this Shimeji crap.
And number two: just like with developing games - seemingly simple ideas take forever to execute properly.
Nonetheless I am finally done. Hours on hour of endless tinkering with animations and scripts resulted in the "WT Hermione" Shimeji. I wanted to record a short vid showcasing the thing in action but for some reason my video capture software refuses to see the little things taking over my screen.
Those familiar with Shimeji know that there are countless variations out there, and for the most part they are interchangeable - all you need to do is download the appropriate image set and you can have any character you want taking residence on your screen. This is not the case with this particular Shimeji though. I made a lot of changes in the default code altering Hermione's personality appropriately and adding a extra animations meaning that this image set will only work this code. Any alterations would crash the thing.
And that's about it. Download the file, unpack it, run it and let our little witch keep you company during those long working hours. For the most part this is a SFW shimeji so you should be alright.
Oh, and let me know if you stumble on any bugs or peculiar behavior from the girl. I tested the thing a lot of times but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that I managed somehow miss plenty of bugs, as it often happens.
IMPORTANT: make sure to check "READ ME" file if you're having problems lunching the thing. Also if *EXE file gives you an error try running "Shimeji-ee.jar".
Also this Hermione Shimeji has a rather mellow personality. Sometimes it does get rather aggressive and starts to multiply like crazy. But for the most part Hermione would just study quietly in a corner somewhere, sleep or ride her broom without causing to much havoc.
Well, that's about that. Now I really need to get some rest...
If you have any questions or suggestions - just post them here.
Oh, the download link is in the attachment.

Virtual Hermione waifu... Is it Christmas already? \^.^/
Me-he-he. ^^
It's not working for me :(
What is the problem?
I can not run it. i'm using 64bit windows 7, and the newest java. it looks really cool. I do love all our work.
Did you try lunching with that *jar file?
Will there be a less SFW version coming out? :D
Maybe... But I'm not sure how NSFW it should be? I mean I like seeing this little mascot quietly studying or sleeping while I'm working? Do I want to see being raped by some monster plant she summoned while I'm trying to get some work done?
It's so fun!! Well done, Master A!
Thanks. ^^
How about a Lolli version!
Maybe, eventually...
Super cool!! i'm using is right now ^_^ ...wouldn't mind a kinky version.. hehe :)
I may get back to this one later and add a few naughty actions for her to perform :)
Wish I could run it :/ Still enjoy the fact that it exists though.
What is stopping you? :(
Sooooo out of curiosity, (and based on the fact you said you enjoyed the process), any chance of a PT set like this in the future?
Heh... Maybe sometime in the future. These things eat time like crazy and I hope to finish PT:GOLD sooner rather then later. If I did work on a PT Shimeji though I think it would be interesting to create a slave Jasmine. So that she would be crawl an all fours instead of walking and such :)
This is really neat, never heard of this thing before.
Same here...
Ohhh ! and I thought only few peoples know about shimeji, and it's my fav artist no less. gonna spawn a bunch and let them run around my desktop :D.
Only few did. Up until now! Mu-ha-ha!!! ^_^
Looks pretty cool, sadly, I'm a mac-man and for some reason Apple hates flash.
Hm... How about this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z1AeHu8l5k" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z1AeHu8l5k</a>
I'm laughiing my ass off here, nicely done Maestro.
Heh...
"For the most part this is a SFW shimeji" That's cool but I am a little nervous. Maybe I'll try it in private first. Looks like adorable fun all the same.
You shouldn't be. She only has 2 NSFW animations and they happen very seldom.
Damn you and your awesomeness ! If only we had a way to show you how much we love your work and dedication...other than giving you all our money =P Thanks a lot for that ! I really didn't think you'd take it THAT seriously !
Yes, careful what you wish for ^_^
I was like, "oh look a new post from Akabur". What is this shimeji.... OMG I REMEMBER THIS!! I HAD THIS SHEEP RUNNING AROUND DOING STUFF!!! OMG its a WT shimeji!!! Once again you some crazy stuff like this, and this is why we all love you like the cool big brother we never got... This is awesome man, keep up the great work. Saving a free day from work to play PT:Gold when it comes out.
Yeah, I actually remember that sheep thing from back in the day. Don't think kids called it "Shimeji" back then ^_^
heheeee... this, and the "Hermione dress-up" thing.... I know you focus on your actual work and I'm glad of that but I hope all that boil slowly the desire of a WTGE.
Heh ^_^
Not showing up for me. Anyone know if installing the 32 bit Java it requires would cause problems in a 64 bit windows 7?
I'm om W7 and it runs like a charm. Did you run Shimeji-ee.jar ? (Not the EXE). There is also some troubleshoot info in the readme file...
Great! You just killed my productivity for today... :D
Heh... happy to oblige.
Another medal for Akabur, is cool seeing you taking two days to give us more WT. Thanks a lot
Just doing my part, my dear friend.
