My bad, I misunderstood your post.I know that. I took that pic from the link you mentioned.
I was talking about the pic @TheMagister said it was traced, of Ayame riding Melvin. I'm too lazy to download the game or look through the multiple pages of the Fleeting Iris CG set on sadpanda, so i leave to those who care enough about it to do the job.
I don't think you can consider it a reference anymore when it's literally just taking the entire CG set's poses of another pornographic game's sex scene with a different art style. I'm not trying to be harsh or anything, but would this not be considered plagiarism if a licensed hentai game tried doing the same? Lilith has been known to send DMCA notices for these kind of things, so they should be very careful with the Taimanin Asagi stuff.
The Taimanin Asagi 2 Image is a clear example of skirting the line on tracing & just copying another image. Now that you guys mention it, I'm found about two other CGs that appear to be copies of other eroge CGs that I've seen before, though it'll take some time for me to remember which game they're from to compare.
The similarities with the cowgirl one are the position and the fact that they're both using a nightgown that is not even similar to begin with. The lilith one is clearly the reference but now you guys are reaching. "If you flip the image and then amplify it by 30 and then put on the right sunlight copy it again and place the second one overlaying with a different hue and then apply a wind stagger and then flip it back over it's almost the exact same picture!" just stop.
It was announced for halloween just last Thursday. Where did you get this Tuesday info?
You don't have to do any image flipping or cherry pick specifics to see an obvious case of someone going past the point of referencing and outright copying sets. The images may not be traced but they are clearly copies of the examples posted. You can look at the angle and how close the characters are too the camara, as well as how extremely close things line up to each other. Nobody is pointing to a sex position and calling it a day here. You can't even hold on to the whole "Well you can only do so much with sex positions" argument when there's non-sex related images that are near 1:1 right here. The three posted aren't the only cases either.
What's the point of having these threads (past sharing DL links and updates) if we can't criticize things? Why the double standard between this game and others?
Context?
That's RPG Maker MV only. This is created in VX Ace. Also asked Starke about a port and he said that maybe when the game is finished so we all know that won't be for at least another year.
The standing image was only brought up as an example of there being more than one image from the same game, so it couldn't be easily dismissed as a coincidence. The point was that there's more than one Inraku no Miko "reference" there for some users to just call it a coincidental sex position. The standing pose isn't as nearly as bad as the sex scene but you can't use the sex pose argument when it's obviously using more than one.
I just feel like its a very dangerous precedent to normalize copying another hentai game's sex scenes and calling it different enough just because the outfit and hair style is different. The hair style is always going to be subject to change when you're replacing it with a character has a different hair style entirely. The clothing thing follows the same logic. If they were wearing the same lingerie would it then count as going too far? What does that say about the rest of the image if an article of clothing is enough to count as completely changed. Does replacing the fat guy's belly with a fatter one count too? Even the breast shape/positioning and nipples are near 1:1, only being barred by the difference in art and coloring style. I think the main issue is that it's taking it from another porn game of the same genre. Taking it from a porn or jav scene wouldn't be as bad, or bad at all.
