  1. I don't have much hope for it changing much from what it is now, but if I may throw in a suggestion... I'd like to see the icons used in menu added to home buttons. At least for me it would make them a lot more readable.
  2. Couldn't find anyone talking about new fancy gem system so here it is. (Been looking for what it actually does since it rolled out and now that I do, I'd like to share with those who are curious.) Informational What gems are for: uncapping current max experience level for girls Numbers: Starting max lvl = 50 First awaken max lvl = 100 Second awaken max lvl = 150 Third awaken max lvl = 200 Awaken gems needed for first uncap for a common girl = 50 Awaken gems needed for first uncap for a rare girl = 100 Awaken gems needed for first uncap for an epic girl = 200 Awaken gems needed for first uncap for a legendary girl = 350 So far I have 112 yellow, 113 red, 170 green and 5 white gems; with this I could uncap 2 common or 1 rare girl for 3 out of 8 elements. Opinion Can't say I like the change but I can see the reason behind it. It is certainly a way of dealing with certain issues - players with shortage of books no longer need loads of them (because they won't be able to use them for quite some time) and players with abundance of books can no longer dominate contests without stocking up on gems (which will inevitably happen, unless gems get dating token treatment, but there'll be an illusion of balance until then). It's an interesting way to slow down player growth but I can't help the feeling of concern about how it will affect the player base. One issue I can already see: champions - we're already working with a random draft of girls and the more girls we get the less likely we are to have them all ready to face the fight, now add to that unlockable cap on making our girls stronger that relies on some random drop "somewhere else". My new legendary girl is a voyeur and I've not gotten any purple gems anywhere yet; now imagine someone new trying the game and getting a girl they won't be able to upgrade during current gem rotation (however it's supposed to work).
  3. @DvDivXXX I agree on the derailing of the topic, I see no point in defending my position since I did participate in that, but I would also appreciate others keeping their legal opinions to themselves. After all I started this topic to point out an issue and not to start a debate on legalities. I'll try to do better. By the way, I'm fairly sure the only reason I know this piece is because of a youtube video about tattoo copying (so yeah, it might be a copy of a copy but it's still not a good look).
  4. @Observer_X since you're so set on this being inspiration, let's talk what is and what is not inspiration. "Where is the line between inspiration and copying? Copyright protects only the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. For example, two artists may paint the same scene but portray them in ways that are slightly different, without infringing each other’s copyright. At the same time, the fact that the series Lost is copyright protected does not prevent you from writing a story about a number of people who are forced to live on a remote island after a plane crash. Taking inspiration from someone else’s work is therefore acceptable, but in order to have copyright in your work and avoid infringement you need to create something original by using your own skill, labour, judgement and effort. Using another’s work is copyright infringement when ‘the work as a whole or any substantial part of it’ has been copied." (source) "In general, if you want to substantially re-use someone else’s work – which includes copying, adapting or sharing it – you need to identify the copyright owners and obtain their permission. This process can be quite difficult at times, especially when dealing with complex copyright works like films. Here are a couple of important things to remember: 1) Copyright arises automatically; no formalities, such as registration, are required. Because of this, even if there is no © symbol or any copyright information at all attached to the work, the work – unless it is very old – is still likely to be protected. 2) The fact that a work is publicly available – like a picture you find using Google Images search – does not allow you to freely re-use it. (...) In most countries, such as the UK, copyright expires 70 years after the author’s death. After that, the work is in the public domain, meaning that it can be re-used for free, without the need to ask for permission." (source) As for "would it stand in court" question, I found a case that on the first look would appear similar: Rogers v. Koons (picture source and the full story) Wikipedia short: "Art Rogers, a professional photographer, took a black-and-white photo of a man and a woman with their arms full of puppies. The photograph was simply entitled, Puppies, and was used on greeting cards and other generic merchandise. Jeff Koons, an internationally known artist, found the picture on a postcard and wanted to make a sculpture based on the photograph for an art show on the theme of banality of everyday items. After removing the copyright label from the postcard, he gave it to his assistants with instructions on how to model the sculpture. He asked that as much detail be copied as possible, though the puppies were to be made blue, their noses exaggerated, and flowers to be added to the hair of the man and woman.(...) Upon discovering that his picture had been copied, Rogers sued Koons and the Sonnabend Gallery for copyright infringement. Koons admitted to having copied the image intentionally, but attempted to claim fair use by parody. The Court found both "substantial similarity" and that Koons had access to the picture. The similarity was so close that the average lay person would recognize the copying, a measure for evaluation. Thus the sculpture was found to be a copy of the work by Rogers.On the issue of fair use, the court rejected the parody argument, as Koons could have constructed his parody of that general type of art without copying Rogers' specific work. That is, Koons was not commenting on Rogers' work specifically, and so his copying of that work did not fall under the fair use exception."
  5. @Observer_X 1. It's not identical in every minimum detail but it's clearly traced - the differences are: one more snake head on top, weird orange ball, no top lashes and no wave to the tongue of bottom snake + ofc color. 2. As far as I know, if you're recreating irl person it's not breaking copyright of the artist because a tattoo should be considered a part of said person. Short google search later. 3. Just because it's on the web does not mean you can do whatever you want with it. "Online photos and graphics are protected by copyright law, just like any other original work. The photographer owns the copyright in the images from the moment she creates them, unless she is working for hire with an agency or other employer. In that case, the agency or employer owns the copyright. Copyright protection gives the owner the right to determine who copies, distributes or adapts the images for further use. The only way to legally use a copyrighted image is to obtain a license or an assignment from the copyright owner." (source). By your logic if you find an image that the artist is selling on their shop page you should be able to download the image and use it as you see fit, right? See the issue? 4. Tracing is not taking inspiration. All you need to look at is linework. If it's (almost) the same = tracing = not an inspiration. Inspiration would be - medusa head with shadowy wisps/wispy hair behind her. What would be considered an inspiration: Common theme, similar framing and elements but both pieces are clearly different. It's not the case with Ridley. In case you can't see it, here you have my attempt at bad tracing with color added on both (under spoilers because it is used on the girl)
  6. After seeing 1 star Ridley I was immediately hit with "I know this piece". Comparison under spoiler (just the part in question)
  7. Cool, thank you for the answer.
  8. What part of the text? Or am I searching in the wrong place?
  9. You must already have all the girls in current rotation, it'll unblock when drop changes
  10. Edit: in the time it took me to write this topic it got fixed/fixed itself but I decided it's best to keep a reminder that this is a thing that happened. Original text: Tower of Fame is constantly reloading (checked on mobile to make sure it's not an issue with my pc) making it impossible to do any fights. What it does step by step: load - change battler order (I have it set by lvl, so it starts with rank and changes to lvl; this is the place for the warning about rapidly changing images) - reload - continue the cycle. On mobile it's just annoying (it's loading slower so it stops finished just to start loading again) but on pc refresh rate is high enough to deserve a seizure warning for rapidly changing images.
  11. The opportunity was too good not to use it. 3 levels of difficulty. Enjoy (spoiler for Giovanna's head - no poses/scenes)
  12. In order to avoid "you don't have her so you can't know", allow me to base my opinion on 2 poses we can all see: 0 stars (event popup) and ? stars (event graphic in epic pachinko). Why is her expression the exact same in both poses? It's like the artist decided that drawing the body took them long enough and just copy-pasted the same head on the next pose. This is a whole new kind of lazy and I don't appreciate it.
  13. Sai doesn't show up on Legendary Days event overlay and attempting to enter boss page for Ninja Spy results in an error (so I can't fight him at all)
  14. For Hentai Heroes yes, for Gay Harem no (and there is no gh subforum, just discord)
