Downloading Inochi Creator

Inochi Creator is released in 2 streams, Stable and Nightly. Stable releases are generally recommended for having better stability, but it lacks behind in features with Nightly. Meanwhile, Nightly is built by GitHub from the latest code every night, this means it has the latest features, but also the latest bugs.

Stable is available to download on:

• Our Website

• Itch.io

• GitHub

• Flathub

Nightly is available to download on:

• GitHub

If you use Itch.io’s Launcher or Flatpak, Inochi Creator will automatically stay updated. Our ZIP and DMG packages do currently not auto-update, but we plan to change this in the future.

Danger

Nightly builds are not stable, we really don’t recommend using them unless you know what you’re doing. Nightly builds are likely to crash and can corrupt your files in the process!

Make frequent backups!

First Time Setup

First time you launch Inochi Creator the Welcome Screen will pop up, you can set some basic settings here like Color Theme, Language and UI Scaling [4].

Inochi Creator supports multiple languages, so if English is not your first language you may change the language, by clicking the dropdown in the “Language” section

After having set up the basic settings you are then free to start creating Inochi2D models!

You can download example models on the same page you downloaded the version of Inochi Creator you installed.

You will not see the UI scaling option on macOS

This is intentional, UI Scaling is handled by the operating system on systems running macOS, To change the UI Scaling, open the system settings and change the UI scaling there.
