Inochi2D

The Inochi2D mascot sitting in a cat cafe, playing with a cat, there's various cats of various colors resting around the place, with one cat in particular being the lead developer's own black cat, Ponko.

Inochi Creator 0.9 will of course have a new look for it's splash screen. The community voted on a cat café theme! 🦊🐈‍⬛☕.

Wallpaper resolution versions of splash screens will be published to the Inochi2D website on the release of Inochi2D 0.9!

Due to issues with model corruption when merging PSDs we've released a small tool called INPFix on our Discord as a holdover until 0.9 is ready for release which will fix such model corruptions.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Final announcement for today; given the extensive under-the-hood changes done in Inochi2D to decouple it from OpenGL and D's garbage collected runtime, the next release will be versioned 0.9!

Creator and Session are also undergoing major retooling for this update.

Rules for code submissions: While we can't prevent people from submitting code written using generative AI, we strongly advise against it. If you do insist on using generative AI please ensure you understand the code you submit fully. Any code submitted that you do not yourself understand and can't easily fix will be rejected. Repeat attempts to submit broken, untested code with signs of being "vibe coded" may result in your permissions to submit code to the Inochi2D repositories to be revoked.

Rules for documentation submissions: Documentation is important, and so is the correctness of said documentation; no documentation is better than misleading or wrong documentation. Using AI tools to generate documentation often hits snags like this, and as such, if you insist on using AI tools to assist in documentation writing, please confirm its accuracy before submission. As with code, repeat attempts to submit documentation which is misleading may result in your pull-request priviledges being revoked.

We've introduced some new contribution guidelines to address the growing issue of broken PRs and issues created via generative AI and LLMs.

TL;DR: Please ensure you understand what you're sending in and test that it actually works/makes sense.

Hopefully once this silly trade war is over we can lower the price to be more sensible for our users within the US again.

Due to the current ongoing trade war between the US and the rest of the world, the price of Inochi Creator has, starting this evening, been increased to $39.99 for users located in the US (and other regions using the US dollar).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Said new backend will make it possible to use Inochi2D within applications written for macOS, iOS, iPadOS and the like; while providing better performance and stability!

VSCode window with code interacting with Metal written in D. Another window is layered on top of a purple window, which is metal drawing to the window.

First big milestone on improving macOS support for Inochi2D has been hit! We've managed to get the Metal graphics API working with DLang, the programming language Inochi2D is written in. Plan is to provide a Metal backend for Inochi2D from version 0.9 and onwards! 🦊✨
