Arkwaifu (arkwaifu)

Arkwaifu is a website which, arranges and provides almost all artworks extracted from Arknights (the game). Arkwaifu also enlarges (4x) the artworks with super-resolution neural networks - Real-ESRGAN.

🎉 Arkwaifu v1 has released! Check it at arkwaifu.cc!

🇨🇳 The China mirror has been suspended due to the v0 → v1 upgrade. We will make our best efforts to get it back soon.

For more information of the frontend of Arkwaifu, please refer to the frontend repo.

Features

• The arts are automatically updated as soon as the game updates.
• Assets are enlarged with super-resolution neural networks (Real-ESRGAN).

Available Arts

Now, only arts that appear in the "in-game stories", are available, including images, backgrounds and * characters*.

Images

Images are the exquisite artworks that appear when some special events in the stories happen.

Backgrounds

Backgrounds are the artworks that always appear during dialogue between characters.

Thanks to my friend Martin Wang! He helped me in extracting the gamedata assets, and also in some details of automatically updating the assets from the game.

Thanks to my friend Lily! She drew the fascinating Phantom logo of this project.

Thanks to Penguin Statistics! The prototype of this project referenced and is inspired by Penguin Statistics' backend v3.

Thanks to xinntao, nihui, and the other contributors of Real-ESRGAN and Real-CUGAN! They created the neural networks this project utilizes for enlarging assets.
