Radio Nowhere is an ukagaka by Wormspawn that “broadcasts from another dimension a collection of heresies, earworms, and memetic hazards, liberated from containment by subversives and loosed to the world on pirate radio.”

Its dialogues consist of song lyrics, public domain fiction, riddles, and other random thoughts. Some dialogues are custom to the sakura, some are custom to the kero, and some can be said by either.

Balloon Test

Radio Nowhere comes with a balloon test option, to aid developers in the creation of balloons. This option allows the user quickly test fonts, including with custom colors and sizes, in both the kero and sakura balloons.

The user's installed fonts are automatically detected, and are displayed in a list for the user to pick just the ones they want to test. These “favorited” fonts are then displayed on the balloon test's main menu. They can be removed from the list through the font selection menu.

The user may also input custom characters to be included in the test script that is displayed in the balloon.

Balloon

The Radio comes with the custom balloon broadcast, a radio-themed balloon with different colors for sakura and kero.

Shells

Name Description
Radio The default shell. Two radios; a large wooden one and a smaller red one. Comes with dressups for the main radio's grille.
Ship Two boats, constantly moving as though rolling over waves. Stroking the sakura's sail will cause it to billow in the wind.
