Have your favorite character live as a real-time mascot on your Desktop. Interact with it or have it interact with you.
As you might have already noticed we recently updated Desktop Mascot Engine and you can now load the 2D workshop contents that you are subscribed to.
Also, some of you might be confused with where are the settings or the interface.
Unless you've noticed we've added a small toggle button for showing and hiding the interface at the bottom right of the screen.

We redesigned the interface inspired by Sword Art Online's UI. The settings are pretty much self-explanatory, you can select a character you want to load either 3D or 2D (3D one at a time, 2D you can click and load multiple at once), open up the Workshop tool, alter settings, head to discussions board for Help or Exit.
We also added the tab to load 2D characters. You need to subscribe to some 2D characters from the workshop in order for them to show up in the menu. You can load any number of characters by simply clicking the character you want in. In order to remove a character, just drag a character to any corner of your screen and drop.
We'll be improving the 2D characters features over time. You'll be able to flip the sprites in case they are not properly oriented and also resize the character according to your need.
In the meantime, we welcome users to submit characters to the workshop, as that improves our scope for ruling necessary settings.
The current application is tried and tested on displays with 16:10, 16:9 and 4:3 ratio screens and seems to be more fluent and stable considering the previous shortcomings.
We're currently working on more features that'll allow users to engage with the application better. We're always open to new ideas and features. We're always reading any bug report or discussion thread to improve. Feel free to reach out to us with any query or even general chit-chat. ;)
