Desktop Gremlins — Streamer Update & Stability Fix

Desktop Gremlins · published 25 Aug 2026, 12:54 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Gremlin Controls
- Added the ability to move the gremlin between monitors.
- You can keep the gremlin on a selected display and stop it wherever you want.
- Added several behavior modes:
- free movement;
- stay in place;
- sit;
- sleep.
- The selected monitor, position, and behavior mode are preserved after restarting the application.
OBS and VTube Studio Stability
- OBS capture no longer accumulates a queue of frames under heavy load.
- If the previous frame is still being processed, the next one is safely skipped, preventing progressively lower FPS and system freezes.
- When the computer can handle the workload, the gremlin continues to appear normally and smoothly.
Twitch
- Added a separate on/off switch for Twitch chat messages.
- The menu now clearly explains that the message is manually sent to Twitch chat and simultaneously displayed in a speech bubble above the gremlin.
- Twitch reward and effect names are now created exclusively in the language selected in the application.
- Settings are preserved after restarting the application.
Visual Effects
- Completely redesigned the Luminous Koi effect.
- Added lifelike fish movement, smooth paths, bubbles, and underwater lighting.
- Removed the Hologram Garden effect and its associated Twitch reward.
Thank you to all streamers and players for testing, sharing feedback, and helping us improve Desktop Gremlins! ❤️
