SCREENSHOTS

Kisekae UltraKiss

DESCRIPTION

UltraKiss is a computer program that implements the Kisekae Set system, KiSS, a Japanese graphics system originally developed to facilitate costume changes on virtual dolls.

UltraKiss was developed to help artists build their KiSS sets. It is a full featured viewer for all KiSS dolls, games, and visual applications. It is also a complete graphical development environment for creating KiSS applications. It fully implements the FKiSS event driven programming language up to and including new FKiSS5 enhanced capabilities. These features enable Kisekae game and application development.

UltraKiss includes an integrated palette color editor tool, an image editor tool, an integrated audio and video player, and an archive manager that packages LHA, ZIP, and JAR archive files. It also provides a full featured FKiSS programming language trace and debugging tool.

UltraKiss has been designed to provide improved developer support so that it is easy to create new KiSS applications.
