YES_MAN.NAR, Version 2.0.0

image

Well that only took, what, nearly a year since the last version release for Yes Man? But after months of doing everything short of rebuilding him from the ground up, version 2.0.0 is finally live! I won’t be able to fit all the changes in here but the main ones are:

  • New Menu: Looks much nicer than the previous version! Icons change with the different balloons he’s bundled with!
  • Browser Minigame Overhaul: More of an actual minigame now! Choose ‘paths’ as you surf the web, and find items, websites, and more as you browse! There’s also a built in shop that changes inventory every hour!
  • Interactions Overhaul: All questions and Yes Man menu interactions have been improved, and new mouse interactions (hugging, kissing, and hand holding) have been added! You can also find more specific items to gift him!
  • Events/ Questions: There are now 50+ questions for him to ask as you get to know him, and in addition there are more story events, and old events have been rewritten!
  • New Minigames: Added go fish, casino war, and a hacking minigame that can be unlocked as you get to know Yes Man!
  • Drag and Drop System: You can give your own files to Yes Man now! He might even react to files with certain names and extensions!

And much, much more! As usual, a complete list of changes/ additions can be found in the changelog!

If you’re updating from an earlier version, please remember that old save data is no longer compatible and will be deleted/ reset upon updating. WHEN IT ASKS TO OVERWRITE OLD BALLOONS, YOU MUST ANSWER 'YES’. If you do not, and he gets stuck in the middle of updating, close SSP, reopen it, and he should restart the process again.

As usual the link for the new .NAR is [HERE], or you can click ‘Check Updates’ in SSP’s right click menu to update if you already have him installed!

oooooo :O

CHICKENBURGER UKAGAKA RELEASE!

Meet Telamon and 007n7!

image

– 7n7 now connects to the internet to download update files when prompted!
–This comes with a fancy neocities site, where you can find the downloads!
– Updated some shells
– fixed a visual bug

FAQ:

What is an ukagaka / ghost?
an Ukagaka / ghost is a desktop pet program, with features such as communication, minigames, actual desktop functions, and more! Lots of ukagakas serve different functions, but most are there to talk to the user, always check their READ.ME file!

Where do I get SSP?
Here! The website is mostly in Japanese, I have a little guide on my site to help if you’re confused

Wait these are kinda rad, got any more
? Oh, there’s a ton. Check out the Ukagaka Dream Team wiki~

I have suggestions / a bug to report / ideas / questions!
This is my first ghost, so I can do my best to help with these, but don’t be afraid to shoot me a DM or ask!

I want to make my own! How did you do it? Look no further, here’s a whole guide featuring an in depth template to get you started, by the wonderful Zarla.

Hi, I’m an avid Ukagaka / Ghost fan, what is Forsaken?
Leave. Leave while you still can.

Will you update this?
Yes! I’m planning on adding C00lkidd and 1x1x1x1, although if I did this wouldn’t have released for a whiiile. Don’t worry, I have placeholders lol. I’m also planning on writing some communication between other ukagakas/ghosts if anyone were to make some forsaken ones!

mmm chicken burger

I made an Ukagaka balloon based on a certain CRT.

This my first (of hopefully many) balloon. But you can grab it here!!

Made using the Z_Simple base and tutorial by Zarla (link to the tutorial)

The ghost in the screenshots (and the main inspiration to try my hand at this) is the Tenna ukagaka by Venelona (link to their post about him)

heehee

This is my cool Homer Simpson desktop buddy/ukagaka! Check my website linked to below for instructions on how to download and install him. As with most ukagaka, he requires SSP.

Download:

Features:

Homer talks about random stuff, and he has sound effects! You can feed Homer donuts by double-clicking his mouth, and pet his head by moving your mouse or scrolling the mouse wheel over it. But don’t double-click his top strands of hair or his eyes…

Homer will also give you ideas to combat boredom if you double-click on him to use his menu, and ask you questions, and you can hug him from the menu. If you double-click the donut, you’ll find minigames, but currently there’s only one: Word Search. There is also a continuous petting minigame though, so you may be able to find out how long you can pet Homer. There’s a dressup option: a donut sticker you can apply to Homer’s shirt.

Hope you enjoy him!

Merfolk Melusine! This is a freeshell that you can use when making a ghost/Ukagaka, She was made to match the Merfolk May freeshell I made in 2024. Does this mean there will be another merfolk in may 2025? Yes. Probably.

Comes with a lil island that is inhabited by an eel for a kero, two different arm positions you can use(with animated fingers!), eyelid positions, and three dress up sets that you can switch between and a custom watery menu!

You can download my freeshells for use at the bellow link!

Aster™ Assistant Software update (05.09.2025)

[ Video demonstrating the Side Panel (used by Vega) shows up next to Aster (Rigel fronting) even after being moved ]

Long story short: overhaul of how the side panel follows Aster around.

Also be mindful as the update may shift the position of speech balloons! You can reset balloon positions with Ctrl+Shift+F10 or via utilities in right click menu.

A minor change for the users, but a pretty massive change on the internal side of things. I have some things to say about it, there’s a tech ramble under cut.

The update is currently available in the initial .nar pack download and via Network Update in the right click menu!

Digital doodle of Aster (Rigel fronting) sitting on the floor happily, while the Side panel (used by Vega) exhales in relief.ALT

Thank you for downloading Aster™ Assistant Software!

Kiti and Bibi A cat and mouse duo. They’re both freeshells for Ukagaka/Ghosts

They both have many dress up items. Kiti has 0-9 surfaces with 9 being a walk cycle so if you know how to make ghosts move around, have fun(or put her on a treadmill lol). Bibi has surface 10 and surface 17 that has the wind up mechanism spinning.

Each Kiti pose (except the walk cycle) has 2 alt ear positions for both ears that you can call,(except for the crouch, that one is hiding the eyes) 5 alt pupil looks you can call, and 5 alt eyelids you can call. All so you can customize her expression. Second bonus shell where Kiti has a tabby pattern.

lcl-cultist asked:

will you be updating the spamton ukagaka to have his red suit when he was with tenna? Or possibly find a way to make them interact if both are on screen?

Oh hey, this is good timing! I was just doing some work on him last night! It’s been such a long time since I’ve done any ghost stuff that I had to remind myself how all my files are set up lol.

image

like remembering the RESOLUTION OF THE IMAGES, OOPS

Anyway, me and Quo have had an update for him half-finished for like… years now, but we ran into a few hang-ups where he needed some new poses and the new game you can play is complicated and a bit busted at the moment. Spamton waking up again in the back of my mind does make me want to get some work done on him though…

I just saw today there is a Tenna ghost too now! I was actually just wondering if someone was going to make one, haha. Spamton CAN communicate with other ghosts right now, if they’re set up for it, but I’d have to get in contact with Tenna’s ghostmaker if we wanted to set up some specific back and forth convos between the two of them.

As for his big shot outfit, I dunno! Spamton’s shell is kind of complicated… I’d have to think about how I’d implement it, it’d be a fairly in-depth process, haha.

(If you don’t have him already, you can get him here or from his webpage)
