About
EmoteLab is a groundbreaking creative tool that democratizes digital expression, allowing anyone to design anime-style characters and instantly generate animated emotes. Built by a solo developer specializing in high-end VTuber modeling, it bridges the gap between professional 2D rigging and casual content creation, offering a streamlined sandbox for Discord, Twitch, and social chat assets.
Story
While EmoteLab contains no narrative campaign, it offers a purely creative 'blank canvas' setting. Users step into a neutral, distraction-free sandbox designed to foster creativity, where the only objective is to bring unique, cute, and expressive digital avatars to life without the barriers of technical lore or complex tutorials.
Gameplay
The 'gameplay' is a seamless design workflow where users manipulate a built-in 3D-like character model using an intuitive UI of preset parts, color sliders, and accessories. The magic happens in the animation phase, where users can toggle physics-based movements for hair, eyes, and clothing, instantly seeing their creation react before exporting the results as optimized GIFs or PNGs.
