What SadWhale Studios Offers on Its itch.io Page

Updated

SadWhale Studios' itch.io page lists four project families: a free Live2D "Goth Mofu" model released as a 2024 gift, three "Spud" input-display tools (Keyboard and Mouse, Tablet, and Controller), and Whalepaper Manager (Catgirl.app), described as a catgirl that lives on your lock screen. The page presents these as niche software projects from a creator group that describes itself, jokingly, as "definitely not just a single dude."

The free Live2D model

The page labels the Goth Mofu model as "LimeBreaker's 2024 Crimbo Gift to the InternetTM: A free Live2D model!" Two things are clear from that line: it is offered at no cost, and it is framed as a seasonal gift release rather than a product line. The page does not list format details, rigging scope, or usage terms, so check the individual project page before relying on it for a specific pipeline.

The Spud input-display tools

These three projects share one idea: visualize how you are physically using an input device.

Project What it displays
Spud Keyboard and Mouse How hard you are pressing keys and mouse buttons
Spud Tablet How hard you are pressing with a pen
Spud Controller How hard you are mashing buttons

The page's own descriptions are playful ("Show the world exactly how hard you're fingering your keyboard! ... and mouse!"), so treat them as intent statements, not specs. If you want on-screen input overlays for streams or recordings, these are the projects to open individually; the listing page does not state supported platforms, setup steps, or whether each tool is free.

Whalepaper Manager (Catgirl.app)

This is described as "a catgirl that lives on your lock screen!" The name suggests a wallpaper or lock-screen manager, but the page gives no platform, price, or configuration details. Confirm those on the project page if lock-screen customization is your goal.

How to decide what to look at

  • Want a free Live2D asset? Start with the Goth Mofu model, then verify license and file format on its page.
  • Want visible input feedback for streaming or demos? Pick the Spud tool matching your device — keyboard/mouse, tablet, or controller.
  • Want lock-screen customization? Look at Whalepaper Manager.

Because the listing page is a profile overview, each project's own page is the place to check availability, platform support, and any download or login requirements before committing.
