Infinite Loop is a Sapporo studio led by president Masahiro Ono. It runs the free Desktop Mate desktop mascot platform and released its latest character DLC, for the speech synthesis character Miyamai Moca, on September 29, 2026.
Infinite Loop's Desktop Mate has settled into a steady rhythm of character DLC. The Sanrio Characters DLC Set arrived on June 26, bundling six previously released characters (Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, Pochacco, My Melody, and Kuromi) at 10,560 yen including tax, a 20 percent discount from the regular 13,200 yen combined price. It was the first six-DLC bundle for the platform.
Two weeks later the roster took a different turn. DLC for MEIKO and KAITO arrived on July 9 at 2,200 yen each, with 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media. That release completed the six Piapro Characters on Desktop Mate.
Through September the studio kept adding characters from speech synthesis software rather than anime or game franchises. Tsukimaki Maki DLC landed on September 15, the character's birthday, with new lines recorded by Manami Tanaka across actions including hanging, petting, poking, appearing, leaving, and alarms. On September 29 came Miyamai Moca, an AHS speech synthesis character, with newly recorded voice work by Mayu Mineda and Moca's pet cat Watson-kun appearing alongside her. Multi-character display is not supported on the Mac open beta.
Separately, Infinite Loop is co-releasing Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns with ILLUMINATION for PC via Steam on August 27. The desktop version costs 4,980 yen, with VR mode sold as additional DLC at 1,980 yen and a bundle at 5,916 yen.

ILLUMINATION and Infinite Loop will release the strip mahjong game Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns for PC via Steam on August 27. The main desktop version costs 4,980 yen, with a VR mode additional DLC priced at 1,980 yen and a bundle set at 5,916 yen. Distribution begins at noon on release day. The game is the official sequel to the arcade classic Super Real Mahjong, which ran in Japanese game centers from the Showa to Heisei eras. A crowdfunding campaign in 2025 raised roughly 33.8 million yen against a 2 million yen target, reaching 1,690 percent of the goal, which funded full voice acting and a grand finale. The game features four heroines, including series first heroine Shoko, at the mahjong cafe P's CLUB. It includes 35 episode parts for conversations, a memories function to revisit all 62 scenes, and a free camera for matches and reward scenes. The zero-distance stripping system is standard in the desktop version. A 20 percent off sale runs from August 27 to September 10.
Infinite Loop released DLC for virtual singers MEIKO and KAITO on the Desktop Mate platform on July 9, 2026. The paid add-ons, each priced at 2,200 yen, are available on Steam and add new 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media, along with original motions and voice lines. MEIKO, who debuted in November 2004 as the first Japanese-language virtual singer, can be seen striking poses, singing, fixing her hair, relaxing with a drink, and waving when pinched. KAITO, the first male Japanese virtual singer since February 2006, performs singing gestures, poses, eats ice cream, and exits with a polite bow. Both characters have an alarm function that displays them full-screen at a set time. Desktop Mate itself is a free app that displays 3D characters on the PC screen, with additional DLC available for other characters. With the release of MEIKO and KAITO, all six Piapro Characters are now represented in Desktop Mate.
