Ukagaka Hub

If a technological feat is possible, man will do it. Almost as if it's wired into the core of our being.

An Ukagaka (伺か), also known as a Ghost, is a type of desktop toy from the early 2000s. Typically a Ghost is a character, or set of characters, that sit on your desktop and keep you company. If you'd like to know more, please check out this page from the English community wiki: Beginner's Guide

I'm a Ghost developer myself! I've published five Ghosts (and worked on many more), and know three Ghost coding languages (Kawari, Aosora, and YAYA). The English community has used primarily YAYA, so Kawari and Aosora are new curiosities.
Please see Usage Guidelines for permissions related to my Ukagaka.

Development Tools

As a developer for Ukagakas, and one which is breaching new SHIORI that the community has not yet used, I have created various "things" for development purposes. I also am currently working on a project of running Kawari's documentation through machine translation. If you'd like to check my progress, please take a look at Kawari: Machine Translated.

In spite of the reputation of machine translation, I oversee and edit all of the translations, cross-reference, and do quite a lot of research for the project. So please do not doubt it. It's no substitute for a professional translation, but it will definitely do the job for learning Kawari. (I did not have the liberty of this edited version myself while learning!)

Usage Guidelines

I'd like to add here some guidelines for using my Ukagaka & related endeavours in other projects. These guidelines apply only to projects I have created solely on my own. Usage of collaborative projects must be discussed with all parties.

Attribution

For the purposes of these guidelines, please use the following attribution:
Okuajub
https://okuajub-netspace.neocities.org/

The exact way this attribution is presented is flexible, so long as both are easily accessible and readable. A hyperlink is also an acceptable presentation of this website's URL.

Redistribution

While I prefer to distribute my works myself, I also know that I may not always be around. If no official distribution of mine is available, my works may be redistributed without modification.

Ukagaka/Ghosts

An Ukagaka/Ghost is assets and coding (as applicable) bundled to communicate with a baseware program using the SHIORI specification.

For non-commercial purposes, you may remix, adapt or build upon my released Ukagaka/Ghosts, so long as sufficient attribution is provided. Translations are an exception, and require my permission before being distributed.

Balloons

A balloon is assets and coding (as applicable) bundled in a format used by Ukagaka/Ghosts to display the Ukagaka/Ghost's text within.

For non-commercial purposes, you may remix, adapt, or build upon my released balloons, so long as sufficient attribution is provided. Minor translations of 1-3 words, such as those on a communication box, can be distributed freely with attribution.

Additionally, my balloons may be bundled with Ukagaka/Ghosts of your own without modification if sufficient attribution is provided.

Scripts

Stand-alone scripts, such as those provided on this page are free to use in one's own non-commercial project with or without modification. Attribution is appreciated but not necessary. These scripts may also be redistributed on their own as long as attribution is given.
