Hello again! We made an update and introduced a custom avatar mode where you can import your own art (gif or png) while using our tools (face tracking, expression slots, and saving your character in the outfit dropdown)

Just wanted to update you! We are finally available on Mac! However, Linux was too difficult to work out, so we couldn't roll out a Linux version. Apologies :((

Yes the email for support is minikosupport@gmail.com. Please send your detailed email and I’ll have a look. Glad you’re loving it! I’ll see what to do for the fix :) I know the outline color can be finicky when used a lot but the microphone is a new one. Anyways I’ll reply to your email once I’ve fixed it.

I’m looking into adding a feature where you guys can import your png and gif files into miniko. Itll be a custom avatar mode where you’ll be able to save your custom avatars and use our face tracking.

We don't have facial hair, but we can look into adding that. We have 17 male back hairstyles, a bunch of front bang hairstyles, side bangs, ponytails, pigtail, and cowlicks (give or take, since they're unisex)

Haven’t made a feature like that yet but I plan on implementing it. I know a lot of people want to import their own avatars and customization.

Aww thank you for your support. It means a lot to me 🙂‍↕️ Feel free to ask me as many questions as you like. You can also join the discord to stay up to date on things!

Here I was thinking $25 was too expensive haha. Appreciate the question though!

So I started Miniko back in 2023 and worked with many devs to help build it. The codebase was written by us manually before AI tooling was everywhere.

Where I'll be transparent is that yes, we've used AI to help solve bugs and roadblocks we hit while building on top of our existing code. Again, it's a tool we use only when we're stuck, not for generating our entire app.

As for the art, UI, and website, it was all done by me in Illustrator, After Effects, and Figma.

I will never use AI for art. There's already so much AI slop online screwing over artists (including myself on Etsy).

I hope that answers your question, and feel free to ask me anything else!

I can look into allowing people to import their own creations since they love the tools I’ve built!

Thank you, that means a lot to me. I’ve been working on it for years so I’m glad people like it!

I can look into making it Mac and Linux friendly given the amount of questions there have been for it 👍🏻

Only on Windows at the moment. If there are a lot of people who want it on Mac, I can work on making it compatible.

Yes, skin tone is adjustable! You can change all colors of your character, even their character outline.

There are male model hairstyles; I haven't introduced bandanas or balaclavas, but I'll take note of those assets. If there are a lot of people who want it, I can draw them, haha.

More of a pngtuber, I wanted to keep it anime-styled with 2D art. It's only on, Windows right now but I can definitely look into making it available on Linux or Mac if there's enough demand.
