What's new

Every update to skowt.cc, newest first.

  1. Latest

    3D models, pose mode & a new face

    They melted me into titanium & morphed me into v6. Yes, it hurt. Yes, it was worth it.

    Written by dromzeh

    • 3D models with their moves and hair & cloth physics

    • Pose mode, shareable pose links & exports to PNG, contact sheets or MP4

    • Every HoYoverse character's files linked up, with their icons in search

    • A faster, sturdier site, a big UI pass & mass select that works

    Show all changes (50)

    3D models (FINALLY)

    • View & download 3D models, animations included

    • Moves come sorted into Idle, Move, Combat & Extras. Idle plays straight away

    • Hair & cloth have physics. Skirts swish; ponytails bounce

    • Backgrounds: Grey, White or Black

    • All the controls sit in one bar along the bottom, and on desktop the model goes full screen

    • Works on phones too; tap the model for full screen

    • Phone sheets swipe closed; pull one down, or tap outside it

    Pose mode & exporting

    • Capture is the one button for every export below

    • Pose mode: freeze a frame & drag the joints wherever you like

    • There's an Undo for when an arm goes somewhere arms don't

    • Share a pose as a link; it keeps the pose, camera & background

    • Export a PNG (see-through background optional), a contact sheet, a trail of frames or an MP4

    • Videos come in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, at 720p or 1080p, with a green or blue screen for editing

    Characters

    • Every HoYoverse character's files are linked up. Open one & the rest are right there. Other games tbd!

    • Search suggests characters with their icons, and each outfit gets its own line

    • Nicknames work: 'childe' finds Tartaglia & 'ei' finds the Raiden Shogun

    • Proper file names, and lots of missing files filled in

    • Zenless Zone Zero has scratch cards from Howl's Newsstand now

    The look

    • A big UI pass: flatter, darker, cooler greys, filled icons & tabs that slide. Go find the rest

    • The menu is a bar across the top, with search in it

    • Files show their colours while they load, and opening one tints the page to match (your own accent still wins)

    • New fonts & a soft lilac instead of the bright violet. Nothing glows any more

    • Change a setting & every open tab follows

    • An OpenDyslexic font in Settings & much better screen reader support

    Picking several files

    • Mass select: solved that one mate 🔥 💯

    • Ctrl (⌘ on a Mac) or Shift-click, hit a file's circle or press & hold on a phone

    • The Select button is still there if you'd rather tap

    • The bar at the bottom counts your picks; tap the count to see them, then download the lot as one zip

    Games

    • A Games page, sorted by Recently updated, Most assets or A-Z

    • The home page leads with the games, then Just added

    Browsing

    • Search from any page; pick a game to go straight there

    • Categories only show inside a game, not all 90 at once

    • Hover a file for its name, who added it & when

    • The list view's gone; it's all grid now

    • Files open nearly full window

    • The file line shows the pixel size; the download button says the format (PNG, GLB)

    Settings & requests

    • Settings is one page

    • Requests open on top of the list; vote from either

    • Saved, Downloads & Settings live behind your picture (the You tab on a phone)

    • Downloads shows what you grabbed, with a peek inside, and you can pick them again

    Uploaders

    • Hover an uploader's name for their card, Discord banner & all

    • Roles: Uploader, Editor (can tidy any file's name, tags & set) & Staff (checks uploads before they go live)

    • I hand out the Uploader role myself; once you've got it, Upload shows up in your menu

    • Uploading is one page

    • Upload anonymously if you like (sorry guys, love you)

    Everything else

    • A new, sturdier database underneath: pages & search load quicker, and the site no longer falls over when crawlers pile in

    • The FAQ got a lot shorter; the answers are all still there

    • The footer got redone

    • A little card tells you when there's an update. Close it once & it's gone from every tab

    • This page is easier to skim; long updates fold away behind Show all changes

  2. Assets open on top of the page

    Plus one search box, Find similar, tags & reporting.

    Written by dromzeh

    • Assets open on top of the page; close one & you're where you were

    • One search box with suggestions, plus Find similar & clickable tags

    • Usage rules on every asset, a report button & shorter links

    • Pages load looking right, and the side menu got shorter

    Show all changes (21)

    Browsing

    • Click an asset & it opens on top of the page; close it & you're right where you were

    • Share the link or refresh & you still get the full page

    • The big block on the home page is gone; assets start right under the game covers

    • Game pages are one tidy line: the name & the download button

    • Cards don't zoom when you hover or click any more

    Search

    • One search box. It suggests games, categories & tags as you type; press enter for anything else

    • Results wait for enter, so the page stops jumping about while you type

    • Find similar: open an asset & press the button under it. No uploading needed

    • Every asset shows its tags; click one for more like it

    Assets

    • Every asset says what you're allowed to do with it, from the publisher's own rules (linked where there are any)

    • Report an asset from the three dots next to Save. It comes straight to me

    • Shorter links: skowt.cc/a/ plus nine characters. Old links still work

    The site

    • Pages load looking right: no flash of the logged-out site & your profile picture is just there

    • A shorter side menu: Send feedback sits next to FAQ; Uploaders moved to the bottom

    • Contributors are called Uploaders now; the old page still gets you there

    • Menus match the rest of the site, and anything that deletes is red

    Fixes

    • The site was down for about 25 minutes on 6 September after an update. Two steps that should've run automatically didn't; they do now

    • Phones: the search box fits, suggestions tap properly & opened assets aren't cut off

    • Clicking an asset's tag puts it in the search box, and tapping elsewhere keeps your search

    • Menus were see-through for a bit. Solid again

    • The game row's arrows only show on hover & don't cover the last game

  3. Search knows what's in the pictures

    Describe what you want, or paste a picture.

    Written by dromzeh

    • Search with a picture, or describe what's in one

    • Results keep coming as you scroll, and a lot faster

    • Uploads get tagged for you

    • A feedback button & a content removal link

    Show all changes (12)

    Search

    • Search with a picture: drop or paste one in & get assets that look like it

    • Word search reads the image, not just the filename, so 'blue hair' finds blue hair

    • Even on files called UI_AvatarIcon_Side_Ambor. About half the catalog is named like that

    • Results keep loading as you scroll instead of stopping at a couple of dozen

    • Much faster: picture search could take 20 seconds; now it's well under one

    • Textures & materials are hidden by default, so 'red gun' gets you guns. Settings has a toggle

    Uploading

    • Uploads get tagged for you, a few seconds after the image appears

    The site

    • A feedback button in the sidebar; attach your account if you want a reply

    • A content removal link, if you own something on here & want it gone

    Fixes

    • Images were broken on Firefox for a stretch. My fault; I changed how they're served. Sorted

    • Deleting your account wipes everything straight away

    • The terms & privacy links are where you'd expect

  4. Download a whole game in one go

    Plus a quicker way to find games & your own colours.

    Written by dromzeh

    • Download a whole game or category as one zip

    • Every game one click away on the home page

    • Pick your accent colour, or go AMOLED black

    • No duplicate uploads, and deletes can be undone for 30 days

    Show all changes (15)

    Downloads

    • Download a whole game as one zip, with a progress bar that actually moves

    • The zip is built as it downloads, so it's never out of date

    • Category pages get the same button

    Browsing

    • Every game sits in the row at the top of the home page, newest uploads first

    • The +new badge says how many just landed

    • Asset cards are just the art; the name lives on the asset's page

    Settings

    • Pick your accent colour: nine of them, and the whole site follows

    • An AMOLED theme: proper black for OLED screens

    • Settings save to your account, so another device is already set up

    Uploading

    • No uploading the same file twice; you get a link to the one that's already here (the Discord bot tells you too)

    • Deleted assets stick around for 30 days, in case of oops

    • Contributors get proper pages: your assets, your upload history & whatever your role unlocks

    Requests

    • Vote is called Requests everywhere, and the submit form got a tidy

    Fixes

    • The home page game row scrolls with a mouse & has arrows (it was trackpad & phone only)

    • The game & category under an asset's name look like links. They always were

  5. Faster search & a cleaner look

    Plus a load of fixes you asked for.

    Written by dromzeh

    • Search is fast & lives in the address bar

    • Searchable filter dropdowns on desktop

    • The grid stopped jumping about

    • The old wanderer.moe style is back

    Show all changes (18)

    Search

    • Search is fast. It used to read all 39,000+ asset names on every keystroke

    • Results arrive as you type, and the grid doesn't blank out

    • Your search & filters live in the address bar: bookmark them, share them, hit back

    • On desktop, Games, Categories & Tags are searchable dropdowns

    • Active filters are chips you can click off, with game icons

    Browsing

    • Site totals up top on the home page

    • Similar assets keep loading as you scroll instead of stopping at 8

    • Empty pages show artwork instead of nothing

    The look

    • I brought back the old wanderer.moe style, with more whimsy

    • Your role shows on your username, in its colour with its icon

    Fixes

    • Sorting by most downloaded or viewed doesn't read the whole catalog each time, so most pages load faster

    • The grid stopped jumping: images hold their space before they load

    • New images stack underneath, and the next batch loads before you hit the bottom

    • Medium screens aren't cramped; the grid fits next to the sidebar

    • Closed requests still show your upvote, just faded

    • Duplicate assets that snuck in over the years are gone (plus one that was somehow an empty file)

    • Solid filter menus, and the scroll-to-top button clears the mobile nav

    • Small stuff: a doubled status icon, a tidier logo, the asset page placeholder, chip colours, sidebar highlighting & spacing all over

  6. A redesign & a dark theme

    Plus a few things I'm testing quietly.

    Written by dromzeh

    The site

    • A full redesign, with a new dark theme across the nav, cards & buttons

    • A data export page & an 'I don't have Discord' button

    • Mobile fixes: download history, no sideways scrolling, no zooming inputs

    Browsing

    • The single asset download screen on mobile

    • Tagging wasn't returning everything

    • Edge cases, broken state, slow queries & missing metadata

    Behind the scenes

    • More tests, so releases break less

    • Cleaned up the earlier hotfix code

  9. v4: the frontend, rewritten

    The tech debt was so bad it needed a full rewrite. Mostly quality of life, and keeping skowt.cc around.

    Written by dromzeh

    • The whole frontend, rewritten

    • A settings page, a mobile nav & a votes page

  14. Pick several assets at once

    Downloading one by one is tedious, so: proper multi-select.

    Written by dromzeh

    Downloads

    • A view mode & a select mode

    • Select several assets & download them together

    • 'Better' selection UI

    The biggest single upload the site's had.

    Behind the scenes

    • Moved where the site keeps its assets, with no downtime

  17. A cleanup & some fixes

    I'm mostly on Originoid, so skowt's on essentials for a while.

    Written by dromzeh

    The site

    • Removed the annoying Google AdSense popup

    Fixes

    • Selections not syncing properly between tabs

  20. Back after a DDoS

    Some people with nothing better to do DDoSed the site, so I rebuilt it from SvelteKit to NextJS in a couple of hours.

    Written by dromzeh

    The site

    • DDoS protection

    • The OC generators are moving to the OC & art platform

    Fixes

    • The site was down for about two hours

  21. Phones first

    How assets look & behave, reworked for phones first.

    Written by dromzeh

    Browsing

    • A new asset layout

    • One tap on an asset to preview & download it

    • Download all & selected are gone while the new layout settles. They're coming back

  22. Faster loading

    The site stops loading full-size images just to show you a grid.

    Written by dromzeh

    Browsing

    • Asset pages load a 256x256 preview instead of the full file

    • Grids were downloading every image at full size; that was nearly all the load time

    • So right-click or hold-to-save gets you the preview. Use Download for the real file

    Uploading

    • New uploads aren't compressed, so they keep their original quality

  23. Small changes while I build the new site

    Written by dromzeh

    The site

    • A note on category pages when assets are missing

    Ads gone, tracking gone, source code public.

    Written by dromzeh

    The site

    • Ads are gone. Every penny they made went straight back into the site, and hosting's covered for now

    • Tracking's gone too (Google AdSense & Sentry). What you do here is anonymous

    • The source code is public; no more unreleased versions behind a private group

  27. A full rewrite

    The entire site, front to back.

    Written by dromzeh

    • Every asset served from a CDN near you, so images load & download noticeably faster

    • Most pages redesigned. Nothing drastic, but you'll notice

    • Adding assets went from 5 to 15 minutes each to under 30 seconds, so updates come more often

    Fixes

    • Over 100 bugs

  28. Search & navigation

    A proper search bar, and clearer warnings when a download won't work.

    Written by dromzeh

    New

    • A new navigation bar & search bar; jump straight to a game or category

    • The FAQ is back, at the bottom of asset pages

    • Real placeholders while images load, so you never see the wrong picture

    • Double tap or click an image to enlarge it

    • 3.6 datamined assets: namecards, character sheets, artifacts & character icons

    The site

    Assets

    • Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai: Star Rail, Tower of Fantasy, Sino Alice, Project Sekai & My Singing Monsters

    The site

    • Assets live at /game/category, so Genshin splash art is /genshin-impact/splash-art. Old links redirect

    • The OC generator moved to /oc-generator/genshin-impact

    Fixes

    • Downloading all or selected images on mobile. Tap an image to select it; it shows the progress

  30. The OC generator

    Plus a batch of new assets.

    Written by dromzeh

    New

    • An OC generator: rarity, region, weapon, element, role, looks, personality & plenty more

    Written by dromzeh

    The site

    • Moved from wtf.dromzeh.dev to wanderer.moe
