News - Adult KiSS Page Live!

Sat Aug 15, 2009, 10:13 PM
:kiss: WELCOME TO THE KiSS CLUB!

We're a community for creators and appreciators of the digital artform known as KiSS, or Kisekae. If the term is new to you, scroll down for a quick introduction to just what KiSS is all about, or jump straight into our collections to find KiSS artforms all over dA.

We're also here to continue the now-idle ~thekissclub. KiSS is a fan-run community, and many were sad to see the dA club idle. Thus, this club was created to carry on the original club's mission! If you'd like to help out, you can note us and request that we add you to the admin team.

:kiss: CURRENT EVENTS

:new: The Adult KiSS Page Lives!
KiSS This is a long-anticipated site for adult-oriented KiSS sets, conceived back when OtakuWorld had to purge its adult dolls to keep Paypal happy. The site isn't perfect - it should include options to sort and filter content too - but in the mean time, it's still a rare and functional resource for finding those lovely erotic KiSS sets.

KiSS Chat Room/IRC Channel
The new site for the KiSS/Kami Community Meetings is an IRC channel, which means you can access it and use it to chat with other artists/fans at any time. You can access the channel with your browser (through a Flash interface) here, or set it up in your preferred IRC client with the info here.

KiSS/Kami Community Meeting
The ongoing KiSS community meeting to discuss the current situation and future of KiSS is still going! If you are eager to see KiSS getting more support, development and recognition, we urge you to find out more by reading the message board thread!

:kiss: WHAT IS KiSS?
KiSS (Kisekae Set System) sets are interactive art made with specific file formats and code. They traditionally take the form of dress-up dolls, but they can also be games, dollmakers, virtual pets - almost anything. Want to know exactly what makes it unique? The news article Mysterious KiSS: Understanding Kisekae offers an in-depth look at the KiSS artform, what it is, and what it isn't.

KiSS sets are a unique artform, not just a picture. In order to play with a KiSS set, you'll need special "viewer" software (Click Here to Learn More).

For further information about KiSS and its origins, you can check out you can check out the Wikipedia KiSS article or visit OtakuWorld's Big KiSS Page.

KiSS Viewers

Wed Jan 9, 2008, 4:06 PM
The KiSS viewer you should download and install depends on your operating system and hardware. Here's a simple overview of some popular viewers. It should be pretty straightforward, even if you're new to KiSS.

FKiSS: This acronym refers to French KiSS, the coding language used in KiSS sets. The number given denotes how current a version of FKiSS is being used; FKiSS4 was developed most recently, FKiSS3 is an older version, and so on. Basically, a viewer will correctly display sets using FKiSS versions up to and including the one listed - for example, Direct KiSS will display sets up to FKiSS4 (essentially all sets), whereas PlayFKiSS can only handle FKiSS3 or earlier (you won't be able to view some more recent sets).

If you're confused, just choose the most up-to-date viewer your system can handle. The more recent a version of FKiSS you can view, the more sets you will be able to play with.

:kiss: WINDOWS
  • Direct KiSS (FKiSS4)
    The premier KiSS viewer for Windows, developed by Dov Sherman (~DovSherman). It uses Direct-X, so you will need a 3D capable graphics card in order to use this viewer (most modern computers have one of these). If you are unsure, you can try to install it - you'll find out soon enough if it doesn't work!

  • PlayFKiSS (FKiSS3)
    People with older computers and weaker hardware (not 3D capable, low RAM) may want to use this viewer. It will display most KiSS sets, especially older sets.

:kiss: OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS
  • Kisekae UltraKiSS for Mac OS (FKiSS4)
    This is an up-to-date Java-based viewer that supports all current FKiSS coding types.

  • !PlayKiSS for RISC OS (FKiSS4)
    A current KiSS viewer for those using this lesser-known OS.

  • PocketKiSS for Pocket PC (FKiSS3, some FKiSS4)
    This viewer for Pocket PC is fairly recent, implementing some FKiSS4 functions in addition to fully supporting FKiSS3.

  • GnomeKiSS for Unix (FKiSS3)

  • Foks for Linux (FKiSS3)
