About the Game

Welcome to Nyanco Channel Engine, a user-friendly reactive VTuber app designed for gamers, streamers, and creative enthusiasts. Enjoy becoming a VTuber by simply using your microphone (with loopback support) and keyboard inputs—no webcam is necessary. This webcam-free feature helps protect your privacy while you interact with your viewers through a virtual avatar. If you face microphone or audio output issues or require advanced management such as loopback support, installing VoiceMeeter software is recommended.

Customize your streaming avatar by using the provided Nyanco character or by easily uploading your own images. Beyond virtual streaming, Nyanco Channel Engine is also a handy gaming assistant, featuring:

  • Built-in Notepad: Conveniently note down strategies, reminders, or streaming notes without exiting your game.

  • Creative Paint Tool: Quickly sketch ideas or annotate captured screen images, enriching your gaming and streaming interactions.

  • Instant Screen Capture (F10): Select and embed parts of your screen into the paint tool, ideal for emphasizing important gameplay moments or explanations.

Custom Avatar Setup:

You can select two custom images for your avatar: an idle state image (Image A) and a reactive state image (Image B). Use the 'Select Image' button in the UI to select each image separately.

Idle Roguelike Mini-Game:

A mouse-controlled game where you guide Nyanco through dungeons using arrow keys. Encounter creatures such as goblins (g), skeletons (s), orcs (o), and collect potions (p). Activate automatic gameplay by clicking the 'A' button to enjoy idle gaming.

Streamer-Friendly Features:

  • Chroma-Key Mode (F8): Activate or deactivate chroma-key for smooth integration with OBS or Discord.

  • Background Sync (F9): Allows syncing background color directly to your preference.

Helpful Tips:

  • Press Alt+F4 to quickly exit the application.

  • Press F2 to access this helpful tutorial at any time.

  • For advanced audio management or troubleshooting microphone and loopback issues, installing Voice Meeter is recommended.

The base app is free, displaying a watermark logo. Optional paid DLC is available to remove this watermark for a cleaner streaming appearance. Nyanco Channel Engine—your streaming and gaming companion, designed with your comfort and creativity in mind!
