gogh: Focus with Your Avatar changes
Summer Update 2026!! 🌴🌴🌴
Summer is almost here! This major update is packed with exciting new content, including new avatar features and a brand-new outdoor room!
1. Avatar Slots Increased from 9 to 18! 👕
We've expanded the number of avatar slots from 9 to 18!
This update comes in response to one of our most requested features: "I want to create even more avatars!"
2. Upload Your Avatars to the Workshop! 🎨
You can now upload your custom avatars to the Workshop!
Public uploads allow anyone to use your avatar, while Unlisted uploads can only be accessed by users who know the avatar ID. Create your favorite avatar and share it with everyone!
⚠️ Important Notes
Because this feature uses Steam Workshop, your Steam account name will be displayed on uploaded content.
Uploads are managed per avatar slot. If you edit an avatar after uploading it and want those changes reflected in the Workshop version, you'll need to update it manually. Avatar slots that have been uploaded will display a "Published" tag.
To help prevent plagiarism, downloaded avatars cannot be re-uploaded, even if they have been modified.
3. Focus Certificate! 🪪
You can now generate a Focus Certificate for your avatar!
Planet Kuroda will officially issue a Focus Certificate for your avatar as proof of your dedication to focus.
4. Transparent Background Photography! 📸
You can now individually toggle which elements are displayed in Photo Mode.

6. New Summer Avatar Items! ☀️
Brand-new summer avatar items designed by gogh character designer Kanzume Yamane are now available!
In addition to three complete avatar sets, we've added 14–15 new avatar items.
