Desktop Garage Kit Reviews

This is a cute little desktop pal. I would love this if there were to be a few additions made for customizations. The canned models are very cute but they are limited. It would be so much better if there were options for skin tone, hair color, eye color, hair style and various clothes. A little more dress up would make this great. One major drag is there are 300+ clothing patterns (small variation in style, only a few items that aren't bra and panties, almost entirely just color changes) but if you skip past one you like you have to click through everything to get back to it. There should be arrow controls to go up and down in number. Poses and animations are cute but a randomization setting would be great. Basically it feels like a good start. I'm clicking yes to recommend because it seems that the creator is paying attention to comments and will make updates. So take my yes and then read the update notes to see what's new before buying.

i really want to like this program but the controls are awful. like really the terrible ui has made this unplayable to me. how do i turn off stars? why are there so many symbols but many of them don't have a tag when you hover over them? you cant lock the window for when you're trying to create a character. if you accidentally turn on a movement "press [ ] to stop" it rarely actually stops it. to name a few issues i have with this.

Ok, so it is what it is. Its a program that lets you have a Desktop "pet" anime girl to interact with while you are on your computer. Its lite on features but I see the devs plan on implementing more thins in the future; and I hope they do. Lets be realistic, there is not much "content" here. However thats not what this program is about. Its about having a cute anime character dance to music if you are playing it on your desktop, you can interact with them (a little) and... well... there is an adult unlock feature using the Konami Code. So if you want your cute anime girl to dance with little to no clothes, you can have that. Its cute for what it is. I hope to see updates coming soon and more content. Character Creation would be great! More ways to interact would be fun, and the controls/UI could use some updates for sure. It can feel like walking a labyrinth trying to figure out how to do things sometimes.

I never write reviews or anything for games, but I want this to get better. As of right now, for a desktop companion it's fine, and being fine doesn't mean it's bad but there are some improvements that could be made. I will list great changes that could be made to make this the best desktop companion out there, some things may have already been said but after playing around with the companion a bit, these are the things I wish were there. -Saving favorites (There are going to be people who fall in love with one or a couple models, or if we get better customizing, it would be nice to favorite the models we create for ourselves.) -Manually choose which clothing pieces get removed or added in an Advanced DIY (There has been many times already, playing around with the models where I wish I could pick and choose which clothing items were being removed, not just whatever pieces in the order that are chosen for me.) -Change color and/or opacity of clothing items (This one is more optional, some will care about this more than others, but being able to set certain things like skirts more see through for some eroticism, or maybe add like a wet white shirt option would be nice. This would also pair nicely with the better customizing options of clothing.) -Set wind speed (I like the idea of the wind, but I always turn it off because it feels like it's too strong for my tastes. I wish there was more of a gentle breeze option, than the seemingly gale force winds it has now.) -Auto Animations (I like the Auto randomness of the poses option, but I wish there was the same thing for animations. So you could have it when an animation ends, it switches to a new random animation and just keeps cycling through.) -Custom Key Bindings (I know this has been stated before, but being able to set the keybinds to what we want is always a good thing to have.) -Lock to specific monitor (I like the auto walk feature, it actually is really neat and adorable, but for someone who has multiple monitors and likes things in specific ways, this can be annoying. I tried moving the model over to my second monitor since I play games on the first one, but she always ends up walking over to my first monitor and then she gets locked on that one. I want to be able to lock her to the monitor that I placed her on.) -Actually hide UI (I understand why the UI is kind of locked next to the model just for quick options or so you don't get soft locked into portrait mode or something, but it can be immersion breaking when you just want a cute girl strolling around on your computer. There is an option in the advanced mode that says Hide UI, but that just closes the advanced menu. I wish there was a way where you could actually hide the UI so all you can see is your cute model doing her thing.) -Random everything (As someone who sometimes hates choosing things and just wants to have things happen at random and be chosen for me, having like an actual random button or key you could press to randomize the model and whether they are posing, animating, or walking, and then have the pose or animation randomized as well. Even randomizing the clothing and accessories wouldn't be bad. For this though, I would want a menu kind of like the DIY menu, where you could choose which options you want randomized and if you want certain things on or off. For example, maybe you don't want poses to be included, you could just turn off poses and it will randomize everything else. If you add in clothing for randomizing, it would be nice to be able to choose which areas of the body are affected. Some people might not want certain areas to have the option of randomly showing up nude, so it would be nice to have the option of turning some areas off.) -Better descriptions (I would say it would be nice if maybe you added in to where if you hover over an option, you get a text box that pops up and gives a detailed description of what you are looking at. Also, like in the DIY menu, the sliders just don't even have what they slider does, so refining that a bit more would be nice.) It may seem like I'm being negative, but I actually really like what you have already. The models all look beautiful, you have so so so many different poses and animations built into the system it's amazing. I am really enjoying what you have already, that's why I'm being so critical to help it become even better and more refined and be able to satisfy as many people as this can. I really hope this becomes the best anime desktop companion app out there!

The overall UX is disappointing. Manipulating the pose in bondage mode is frustrating because assigments dont stick. Customizing the models is off putting because it makes the models ugly. The mini games are absolutely trash material. If I didn't spend the time to try to get to know this game, I would return it. Its like they put absolutely no effort into these side/ mini games. Having the model just on my desktop is serving the purpose of my intention, but they wasted a lot of functionality in making it hard to control/ pose the models, and they also wasted a lot of functionality building the stupid side games. In summary: this title is only worth $5.00, the $18.99 price is just to make this interactive desktop program look better than it is!!!

I like it as a desktop waifu that can dance, do different animations and watch your cursor move around the screen. There lots of cute characters to choose from and there are many different parameters to adjust. She is able to hover, windowless, in front of all the windows displayed on your screen which makes it feel like she is more than just another program running on your computer. There are mini-games, sexy-time scenes and other little things included, although I haven't experimented much with those yet. My only critiques are the user interface is a bit confusing, you do get used to it, but it could use some refinement. Unable to save preset favorite combination of character/outfit/action/etc. The weight of the breasts seems a little light, a gentle breeze will send even the most massive mammaries shaking like there is something inside struggling to break free. (not complaining too hard here, but I think it could at least use an adjustment slider) No achievements, and while they aren't necessary, especially for a desktop accessory, why not add it in. I think it would be a good opportunity to add some funny/silly achievements that might be cute to show off (or hide in embarrassment) on your profile I hope the dev continues to add and improve to this, there has been a lot of recent updates, which is a very good sign. I see a lot of potential here and I could easily see it expand into something much more than a desktop accessory. But as it stands now, I would only recommend it as a cute/sexy waifu desktop accessory - which, for me, is still worth the price of entry. Good work devs, keep it up!

I like the what there offering, but this setup it bad. - worst UI I ever seen have to cycle options though 1 click at a time at least it got a back button for its 200+ options of animations -annoying effects like unstoppable hurricane winds can only change its directions -does not save the girl when changing modes -sound volume hard to change -there is no polish here just shovel wear to get it into a working state. -how is this 20 GB of space it is super bloated No customized models just pre-made ones, at lest there a lot of them, and toggle the outfit 1 click at a time for whats off and on then pick 1 accessory from the same type of 1 click a time selector

What the ♥♥♥♥ is this, it's a coding mess or something, I click a button and it just spams menus and bugs out, it's all over the place, I try and scroll though the character menu and it starts changing the desktop things resolution, I click a button to do something I don't know what and the characters hair vanishes, i then try and click to do a pose or animation and the character does it but then I get them to stop and they keep doing it but to nothing now, like what the actual ♥♥♥♥ is going on in this mess, I try a mini game and it just becomes hard to control, I tried to sort the character out and opened up a tool to pain on them, so I closed it because I didn't want to do that and when I click on the girl it starts painting on her when I closed that and backed out, it crashed on me because it was trying to do 50 different things from 1 button click, I press Esc in one of the modes to lick on the icons and the resolution was to big the icons were going off my screen. I'm genuinely baffled at how awful this is, it's like it's been coded poorly and every line of code is going off at once, random effects were playing some stuff popped on screen like the body bubble that I didn't click and it just appeared as the music effect around the girls waist started playing then a star flew at her from another effect, it was as if the game was just having a melt down. I'm so confused on how to describe this and how much of a utter mess this is, like what the ♥♥♥♥ was going on, why is the resolution changing by scroll wheeling even when locked, why do I click 1 thing and 5 different other things activate, why is it I click a button and it does nothing, why is it when I middle mouse button to grab her body parts it zooms into her, why when I ask to cancel an action it removes somethings but keeps the animation or something else from it stays. did an update happen around the time I got this and it broke everything because that's all I can think when describing this, it really is just all the lines of code are firing off and not responding properly or fully causing actions to not reset properly, and that is on top of just interacting with the girls is so janky and clunky, like playing with one of those toys that have stiff joins and felt like it would break if you moved it's aposable parts to much. all I can think is what the ♥♥♥♥ was even going on with this thing?

From my hour of playing around from it, I noticed that the UI is horrendous- just like some of the other comments mentioned. It was very hard to navigate and find exactly what I wanted, even if there was a "help menu" that I could use. The other issue I found was the way the breasts functioned. The breasts flew all over the place even at the slightest movement. There were other minor annoyances I found like the way cycling through animations, poses, clothes, etc. worked. Personally, I feel as if it needs a lot more work done to make this more new-user friendly. Other than those two issues I found, I liked the vast selection of characters to choose from. I enjoyed the desktop companion mode the most rather than the other modes. To put it simply: This needs a lot of refining.

This is one of the strangest pieces of software I have purchased. Anyways so like... uuuuh... I was able to morph one of the cute preset anime girls into a biblically accurate Charger from Left4Dead, and beat off to it...
