Thread: The player's opinion on editing content

I agree that it's a good idea for Nutaku to play it safe. Hellfire Girls and the Luv games are probably safer for Nutaku than the other titles it has because of it being based on live-action porn rather than animated porn.

There is one other taboo that Nutaku has to play it safe with, and that's rape. It hasn't been that long ago that lobbyists and politicians were getting angry over RapeLay, and we're in the middle of an election on top of that. The goofy storyline rewrites we're seeing show up are going to continue being needed in order to keep Nutaku and its players from potentially getting hauled up before Congress and into the national spotlight.

Nutaku's edits have never been remotely good, and never suited the original artwork, but with Osawari they've reach a whole other level of shit. At this point Nutaku just needs to change payment providers and stop editing at all, as they're ruining characters with their cheap edits (most boobjobs are lazy smudge tools, all the osawari edits are crude resizes, fucking pentagram shopped on a nun, you can barely call them edits since no effort was involved whatsoever).
If they refuse to change payment services (they really should though, fuck probiller it's terrible), then they should at least spend some actual money on their editing. Someone retard with a couple photoshop tools and no sense for art should not be in control of editing for games that basically revolve are the girls and their appearance. If edits were actually proper redrawing, tits suited to the character rather than balloons and faces not being touched at all, I think people would accept the changes more easily.

But seriously just change fucking payment services, like everyone says, go ask Mangagamer for tips.

Personally I'm not paying even a cent more to nutaku till they revert this shit. I can (barely) agree to enlarged breasts, but why the hell mutilate faces? Why nun outfit was changed? Why pentagram was added to other nun? Why third nun was left as is?

These games are all about collecting cute girls for me. Abominations nutaku made are not cute at all.

I'm not completely against editing of material if it means allowing it to be released for us, but there are limits. Some of this has just not been necessary at all, and the ones that may be considered necessary were done terribly. The art is the most important part of these games. Time and money should be properly spent on any edits that are made to make sure they come out good.

I'm adding an imgur dump someone posted on ULMF to the main post, to show some of the changes made in Osawari.

Nia is kinda creepy looking now
I'm not even sure why Olivia was edited at all.
Tenryu's body looks fine (actually kinda hot) but the face and hair just don't agree with each other.

These westernized faces look horrible on original anime bodies.

Biggest mystery for me is why the hell they added pentagram and censored cleavage cutout of poor Seira. This cannot be explained by laws, payment processor or common sense at all. If anything, drawing pentagrams on nuns is more likely to get them in trouble with religious folks.

Also, removing collar and chain Shizuku is pure bullshit too. There are no laws against BDSM.
How the hell they are going to release Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena then? Every girl there is raped, often in hardcore ways involving BDSM, tentacles, stomach punching and so on. Is it taking so long because they redraw and rewrite every card and scene, lol?

I've talked with a Nutaku dev on this. Due to tight deadlines, they had to outsource the edits. They knew they fucked up when the art returned but there was no time to fix anything so they pushed through. They want to fix these mistakes. It'll take a maintenance period to replace art so they want to do it as a batch job, not a string of hot-fixes that frequently interrupts play. They can't stop editing at all, but they'll be more careful now.

What exactly compelled them to send Seira for editing? She doesn't look like child and there are no laws, regulations or contracts requiring them turn nuns into satanists. "They can't stop editing" is bullshit, half of characters they edited were perfectly fine in original version.

Who did the art editing, anyway? Was it some random guys Nutaku picked up, or was it a professional studio?

I suppose, like most of us, I agree with edit stuff if there is the only way to bring it here, but the problem, like most of us agree, is the quality, some of them are very poor.

I hope this is true, but until we see changes, those are empty words of a company XD.

Aside the quality, sometimes they change stuff with no sense, for example, original Tenryu Mihoshi looks like a loli, right, but Nia? They did not even respect the cat face. Whats wrong with the face of Tsukishiro Karen?

For example with Nomi Honoka and Olivia the result is not bad.

As far as I know they remove certain card on Valkyrie because the H-Scene have tentacles, seems like Galete (from money Gacha) have tentacles. Inconsistent.

About slavery and rape, they're more delicated themes, and with the double moral of most countries can be very problematic.

Nutaku can throw off the SJWs from noticing the rape scenes to an extent by rewriting them to have girls who aren't human. SJWs are stupid that way. Doing so might screw up the storyline of Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena, but it'll make it possible to get it released with minimal edits artwise.
