Okay, I thought the trailer was just bad in a funny way, but this... this is plain shit. I've seen some pretty ugly font choices in official releases before, but this might be the first one that makes numbers hard to read. What an achievement!

In the end, I only ever planned to get it for the uncensored images.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. I'm curious to see what Inusuku's originals look like.

I won't count how many times pixiv (censored) images were far better than twitter (uncensored) counterpart. It's kind of shocking at first until you realize they've censoring few bullshit lines for decades now just to save time

It's still way better now then ever before, thought. Artists figured out they can patreon/fanbox/etc uncensored versions for even more shekels but that's still relatively new practice. Even then the censored version might look better so don't be surprised if inusuku's vagoogoo and benis will be interior to mello's. However it sounds.

I'm not sure if 18+ artists have similar stories but I've heard there's been a few loli artists who were "celebrated" as drawing fantastic uncensored art and then a few years later hear it was because they had proper reference material that they were arrested for.

the more I look at this image, the worse it gets.

let's start a list :

The font(s) : makes money amount almost unreadable, the day counter is probably going to overlap once it hits double digits, and the font sizes are just really wonky (more so than my translation, and I had to play around to get everything to fit!)
they removed State (probably due to space limitations) from the status bar.
Changed the names of the combat stats (Not a bad thing, but Attack, Skill, Defence, Determination? and Intelligence... it's almost like...)
the Policy box doesn't have transparency (can see pure white at the corners of it, big whoops there, as if they did the same to ability screen... and battle skills... hooo boy...)

In fact... I would say it's almost like Kagura is trying to distance itself from the style used in the translation...

and this is what they have to show after... can someone get me an accurate timeframe? because honestly, I'm feeling embarrassed on their behalf now.

*edit* found another pic of Kagura's version

Actions is now boxes? that font is still there, and frankly makes everything a mess.

Seriously guys, let's get over it and just be happy inusuku's work is going to have more visibility and potentially will become uncensored.

I don't think a creator is happy that his game is treated like shit and the one's buying it are not gonna experience what Inusuku intended, just saying...

The truth is I understand your anger, it is very ugly to see what they are doing with the game.

I have been following Inusuku for a while and I have seen that every time someone mentions something to him about modifying his games his responses have always been bad, so I highly doubt that if you add color images Inusuku will see them favorably.

In his post where he talked about the color for Fantasy he mentioned that coloring it at this time would degrade the art since all the images in the game were made to be monochrome. He also mentioned that if he had wanted to make the game in color, he would have done it in color from the beginning of its development.

That said, I don't think it's a good idea to put color images in your trailer, because if it happens that Inusuku doesn't like it and asks me to stop the development of the color mod and eliminate all traces of it. Out of admiration for his work, I would do it.

But as I mentioned in the color mod post, it would be selfish of me to tell you not to take the images since the images are not mine but Inusuku's, what I do is take them without permission from the author and color them.

So I have no right to tell them not to do the same thing that I have already done.

But well that would be my point of view, having said all that, you don't need my approval to take the color images, really anyone can do it, whether I agree or not is irrelevant, but you must take into account the risks that this would have.

Changing the subject, the truth is it's kind of sad to see what Kagura is doing with the game :(, I'm sure we're not the only ones who want to make Inusuku see the way they are degrading his game, I just hope he sees the comments objectively and consider the idea of looking for other alternatives to distribute your works in other countries.

third and final reply to this particular message.

I will add the use of unused assets to my nitpicking kagura's trailer notes.

also omg, I never noticed the imouto in classroom cg when looking through the files before, that's so cute.

*looks over with pleading eyes.
"won't you please work together and give this imouto a (right) hand and color her sometime?"
"plz"
If Akapp redraws the scene, I would be more than happy to color it :3.

In that scene there is another image where Kasumi appears talking to the sister.

im sorry but you dont know what we are talking about when you just say "get over it" its more complex then that and can not simply be brushed off, if players play the kagura game version people will think inu is a shit game maker, and i want to believe that you want inu's game to be shown in the best light, if not, you politely dont type anymore and move on since you shown you wont help with this

Please someone for the love of God,explain to me how having a slightly retarded font is going to unequivocally ruin the game:WaitWhat:

Didn't we all also play the game when it first dropped and shade managed to make a working translation for it in under 2 days,the translation at that time was nowhere near to what it is now,but we all still enjoyed it(atleast I did). Just being able to understand your choices and general lore was enough to appreciate the game.

If you guys want to experience truly vile translations then try reading something made by cypherscans xD
Edit:My experience with cypher is quite dated (2-3 months ago),so they might have improved(I sincerely hope they did).

Very poor font choice aside, I don't really understand the drama either. The translation by Shadesishere -- while an appreciated hold over -- is barely readable. BlueFireNick's mod cleans up some of the more egregious parts, but even still it's quite awful overall. If nothing else, the previews seemed to at least show off something resembling the English language, which is a feat that the translation hosted here never achieved.

Raybar, allow me to answer some of what you have asked :

Kagura Games, a dedicated localisation company, have been known to steal translations, and when they haven't, have botched a lot of translations (either mistranslating, dumbing it down or like they have from these screenshots, using a horrible font and other misc. issues).
They are also quite well known for agreeing to translate something, then holding onto it for a long time (such as the case is here, look at how quickly I got both the original translation, and its subsequent updates, out to everyone here, while keeping people up-to-date with how it was going)

frankly, between the trailer and screenshots, I, and many here, have both concerns and a bit of annoyance at how they are treating this translation. (there is also admittedly a level of amusement that it is taking them this long to put out what looks like a potential half-assed job)

While I will never claim my translation is a professional work, I atleast took the time and effort to make sure the game was as close to what Inusuku intended, both in appearance and wording (and font :p)

It's been over a year since KG took on Imouto Fantasy as a project, and in that time we have : a lame trailer, in which actual footage of the game is still untranslated, and 2 screenshots showcasing a terrible font, a bad image edit (no transparency applied to status box) and a very weird space usage in the upper bar, also by taking State out of the status box, it now looks like "Guild Rep. Totally Obscure _ _ _ Amazing" which is just... urgh..).


and as bdikkus posted while I was typing this, showing off 2 screenshots, both only holding a single line of dialogue, doesn't inspire confidence considering what they did to the title of the game. also, cheers for calling my translation awful (also, first post in 5 years is this?).

I don't disagree in regards to these points, your attention to detail insofar as the appearance is superior to their work, but the translation always left something to be desired. I can only speak for myself of course, but that's my opinion. And, yes, I'm a lurker. This will likely be the last post I make. Hopefully Kagura improves on the translation front, and from what I can tell it's more readable for my tastes, but, as you said, they haven't shown off enough to fully inspire confidence.

This is giving me mixed feelings. I'd buy it to support Inusuku and encourage him to release official EN translations, but I don't want to support what Kagura has cooked up so far.
