(When this happens, the Undertale soul icon will appear in the notification area of your taskbar, and you can interact with it, but no Ralsei will be on your screen.) Fortunately, you don't have to give up 64 bit Java, you just have to make sure your computer doesn't force it on the program. Though it requires 32 bit Java, even if you have a 64 bit system. On the more technical side of things, the program itself is written in Java, so it should be cross-platform - one of the reasons I picked this one as a template. People who know what they are doing (and can understand Japanese programming) can even make shimeji that interact with each other. They climb along the edges of your screen, can be picked up and moved around with your mouse, and sometimes even can catch the edges of windows that aren't maximized. (Asriel was my favorite character from Undertale to begin with.)įor those who don't know (and didn't understand what I meant in the title), a shimeji is a Japanese term for a little desktop buddy that walks around your monitor, and interacts with things on your desktop. He's definitely cute, definitely fluffy, and I use him more than I use the Asriel one. Still, if anyone better at spriting than me wants to take this and do something better with it, be my guest (and let me know when you're done!) That doesn't mean it wasn't an absolute nightmare to make, though.

Some of the animations are a bit crudely assigned (Ralsei levitates at the top of the screen instead of climbing), but everything worked out surprisingly well considering most of it was just a sprite rip. I was quite surprised (and relieved) that there were so many sprites than there would have been in Undertale. (I can't even find who made the original, since the pastebin I got the download from didn't say.) Here's the link to that pastebin if you are interested: It has a lot of other Undertale-related shimeji as well.Īll the images used are from the game itself, or minor edits of those. It's a simple conversion of the Asriel shimeji that was so popular a while ago. I just finished this little guy (and man is my neck sore).
