Making a game with stolen assets sounds perfectly fine in my book, except the outcome is rarely worth playing.
Selling a game with stolen assets is a different story though.
That is a mistaken observation.

Making a game with stolen assets is okay, if you're not sharing it (how fun is that?)

Making a game with stolen assets and distributing it (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE MAKING MONEY FROM IT) is a violation of intellectual property rights.
There is NEVER an excuse for using someone else's assets without permission. EVER.

Also (for US people) there is no "fair use" doctrine as some claim.

This is a fun game.

Not the game.

The fact that the Renpy assets take up 170 megabytes.
And the game takes up 40.

This is Ren'Py at it's most idiotic.

Making this in Unity (compiling it) with Fungus or NaniNovel would make it about 80-90 MB total.

So, a bunch of guys on a pirate forum are complaining that the author has stolen the artwork...
That would make sense... if it wasn't for the fact that F95 IS NOT A PIRATE FORUM.
It is a forum for people who love adult games, first and foremost. And at least half of ths games here are NOT pirated.

I am well aware of the legal ramifications of distributing copyrighted material, but thanks for the lecture.
My statement was about what I find morally acceptable, not what you are legally allowed to do.

I knew I'd seen some of the images somewhere else, it breaks the flow when the art styles change so much to the point of not being enjoyable.

Stolen art, grindy, had to delete it.

No, *You're* mistaken. F95 IS a pirate forum first and foremost.

The fact that many of us devs decide to hang in here is because it's convenient. Since most of our games are free, anyway, this acts as semi-official support forum and contact point between us and the players.

But nobody here is under the impression, except you apparently, that this isn't a pirate forum. Hell, we can't even delete our own games if they're leaked and shit. We just have to make do.

Saw bimbos. Got excited.
Saw thumbnails. Got dissapointed.

My biggest gripe with reuse of assets is the inconsistency.
Don't want to get into the argument further so I'll just be helpful for a change.

anyone know who the artist of the second pic (with the gyaru) is?
It's from a game made by AIL soft, illustrations done by Saburou.



Artist: Saburou (さぶろ~)

In the future, you can use to find sources.

Anyone know who the artist is for the 7th picture (of the 3 girls in kimonos)?
They look like edited versions of Vitalis' artworks.
Found the one on the left for comparison.

Bruh you're in a pirate website for porn bitching because a porn game pirated assets for itself. The guy isn't even selling his game, too.

I'm stuck, need to show Madeline to the Barmaid but never get a prompt. I've completed everyone else and completed Madeline's transformation.

Nevermind, had to change her back to blonde.
