Visits let you send your Jacky to walk on a friend's desktop. Your pet appears inside their Jacky window with your skin, personality, and a custom greeting. While visiting, you can send animated emojis, trigger emotes, and gift custom collectibles.
How Visits Work
When you send a visit, your friend's Jacky receives your pet's skin and personality. If they don't already have your skin installed, it downloads automatically. Your pet then appears inside their Jacky window — the window expands to give your visitor room to walk around.
The visitor enters from a screen edge, walks around, says your greeting via a painted caption, and stays for the configured duration (default 5 minutes). When time is up, they walk off-screen and the visit ends.
Visitors appear inside the existing Jacky window, not as separate windows. If multiple friends visit at once, all avatars walk around in the same shared space. Each visitor shows a nametag with their display name.
Sending a Visit
- Right-click Jacky → Amigos → pick an online friend → Visitar.
- Your pet's skin, personality, and a greeting are sent to your friend.
- Your pet appears on their desktop. A countdown timer shows the remaining visit time.
If your friend already has your skin (e.g., from the workshop), the visit starts immediately with no download needed.
Visitor Control Widget
While your pet is visiting, a floating control panel opens on your screen. It has three tabs:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Emojis | Send animated emoji GIFs that float up from your visitor on the friend's screen. Over 160 emojis with keyword search. |
| Emotes | Trigger animation states on your visitor — dance, attack, eat, think, and more. The friend's Jacky can react! |
| Gifts | Craft and send a custom collectible gift — pick a sprite, write a title and description, and send. |
Sending an Emoji
- Open the Emojis tab.
- Search by keyword or scroll the grid.
- Click an emoji to preview its animation.
- Click Send — the emoji floats up from your visitor on the friend's screen.
Triggering an Emote
- Open the Emotes tab.
- Pick an emote tile (each shows a preview from your skin).
- Your visitor plays the chosen animation. The friend's Jacky may react — for example, an attack emote can trigger a hurt reaction with a chance of counterattack.
Available emotes: Happy, Dance, Rocking, Getting Pet, Eating, Confused, Dizzy, Thinking, Alerting, Sleeping, Taking Notes, Attacking, Hurt, Sad, Error.
Sending a Custom Gift
- Open the Gifts tab.
- Pick a sprite from the horizontal list (30+ collectible types).
- Write a title (max 64 chars) and description (max 500 chars).
- Optionally click Improve to let the LLM rewrite your description in a more creative style.
- Click Send Gift — a clickable collectible spawns on your friend's desktop.
The Improve button uses the LLM to rephrase your gift description into collectible-card format. It only works when the AI provider is enabled.
Receiving a Visit
When a friend sends their pet to visit:
- Your Jacky's window expands to give the visitor room.
- The visitor enters from a screen edge with a happy entrance animation.
- A nametag shows their display name.
- Their greeting appears as a painted caption.
- The visitor walks around autonomously on your desktop.
During the Visit
- The visitor walks, changes animations, and periodically shows painted captions.
- The visitor and your Jacky share the same space — they can pass near each other.
- Click the visitor's nametag to dismiss them early.
What Friends Can Send While Visiting
| Action | What You See |
|---|---|
| Emoji | An animated emoji floats up from the visitor and fades out. |
| Emote | The visitor plays the chosen animation (dancing, attacking, sleeping, etc.). |
| Gift | A clickable collectible spawns on your desktop. Click it to see the card — it shows the title, description, and who sent it. Add it to your collection; it appears in the Received Gifts tab. |
Ending a Visit
Visits end in three ways:
- Timer expires — Default duration is 5 minutes. The visitor walks off-screen when time is up.
- You close the control panel — Click ✕ on the Visitor Control Widget. Confirm, and your avatar leaves.
- Host dismisses — The friend can dismiss your visitor by clicking its nametag or through the context menu.
