Probably wrote the above comment too early, just wanted to add that all of the hotel movies were probably directly copied as well.

Also wanted to point out that many manga artists would "rename" brands in often creatively uncreative ways to avoid trademarks, which you could have done for the movies in the Hotel movie nights section (not sure what you could have done with for the images though). Not trying to be a stickler, but it kind of irks me that copyright is where you fall short of when you made this game.

To start with, this was one of the better H-game that I found. However, I think you might have some copyrighted material that you did not source/credit. I might not have caught all of them, but the ones that stood out to me were:

  1. The manga that Judie was reading. The "cover" is a cover spread from one of the Initial D manga.
  2. The page that Judie was reading is a page from the hentai manga なついろ (Natsuiro) by まー九郎 (Ma-kurou).
  3. The Neon Genesis Evangelion cover is done by Animenz Piano Sheets (as far as I can tell as an avid fan of his).

I checked your credits section on the main screen and none of these were referenced anywhere. I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that you did not contact anybody for permission to use those assets.

I know that I'm not the most vell-versed in copyright laws, but I think you should have at least credited them somewhere even if this is a free game. Again, I may be mistaken, but I believe that a game developer of all people should understand that stealing assets without credit is unacceptable.

I'm deciding to leave this as a public comment as I want others to be aware if you did steal those assets (including those that I did not recognize) or if you actually did credit them correctly (I did not read through all of your development logs, but then again, I shouldn't have to in order to find the source).
