assuming english version from DLsite is different than the one on steam (by Kagura Games), is there any notable difference between the 2? like one is better than the other?

Kagura version remove the mosaic censor on the CGs. That's pretty much it for this game.

 

[Morkor]

Uncensored CGs + Steam for DRM instead of DLsite DRM (not sure if buying from Kagura's new store has DRM), cannot comment on which one is better translated without comparisons but I am biased towards trusting Kagura to do a better job.

to be fair, i do share same thought. Kagura Games do make a great translation judging from their previous works

 

[Inspector_Whatsup]

@Mick2000 Their first few translations had some weird issues, but yes, their work is pretty commendable by this point.

Among their games the only one I had problems with translation wise was Kozue's Strange Journey. imho they tried too hard to localize the girls' to a modern American speaking. While it fit Hina like a glove, it kinda made Kozue and Miu's personalities go all over the place. I did like what they did with Sayori though.
So I most likely go with their translation over another.

Has anyone managed to get Selma and Shannon panties in the KG version ?
I been trying to get them by following the guide someone posted here but no luck.
Got Lisa's, Irys', and Leannya's panties but cant get the rest no matter how much i interact with them.

Did someone know how to remove all friends? Cuz when mastubating, they sometimes move randomly and hit by the boy's cum even though I want to hit other monster girls.

Open the menu, select companion, and press D iirc.

Pretty sure it's based on bond level, at 10 I was able to get panties from everyone. Was more trouble getting the bear and devil's sex events, had to hit them with cum an absurd amount of times.

...wait, you actually able to fuck the bear girl? time to hop in back into the game.
also what is the panties use for aside from being equipment?

Just equipment. They work pretty well for my incubus build in combination with the best cum ring. Takes very little time at all to lust up a boss with bukkake.

Did you had a pop-up at the center of your screen while browsing through jap Dlsite? If not, it's possible they forgot to give you the coupon.
I had that issue myself, so I contacted support here :

You must be registered to see the links

(the english equivalent is this if you struggle with japanese :

You must be registered to see the links

).
Got the issue resolved in about a week.

Huh, I missed the memo on a coupon for the english version. I bought this right on release but I do not have a coupon for the english version at all. I have some random 20% off one, but no sign of one for the game in english. Is it still possible to use the support to get it, or am I out of luck if I didn't receive it?

I suppose I should add that the product is on my Japanese(maniax) account, and that they don't seem to allow the same account to use the Japanese and english versions of the website, only one or the other. Would my request still go through on the english site?

Ask the author. He knows more about the dlsite stuff than us.
Also, you can consider to buy the ENG version in Steam instead. The translations should be better, as Steam version is translated by Kagura Games. The CGs are also uncensored.

Does anyone know if the steam version/kagura version crashes less often than dlsite one?

 

[Inspector_Whatsup]

Does anyone know if the steam version/kagura version crashes less often than dlsite one?

For what it's worth, I've sunk about 20 hours into the Steam version across 3 days, and it hasn't crashed even once. So from personal experience, it appears to be very stable. Then again, it never crashed on me with the OG release, either, so you may wanna look into that being a potential issue on your end.

 

[domigera]

Pretty sure the crashes have something to do with Dlsite's DRM implemented in the game's newest version. It never crashed before.

 

[super_slicer]

Leave it to DLsite to fuck up DRM implementation.

Leave it to DLsite to fuck up DRM implementation.

It's not easy.
Both methods of doing DRM would be difficult

Method 1: Have an API so that developers can access DLSite's database if they can verify an API key.
This is Patreon's method. Patreon creators have access to the API (Application Interface) so that off-site they can still give Patreon rewards by accessing Patreon's database.
This also works for video games as well as most game engines support some form of XMLHTTP which can make basic calls to a website.

If developers really wanted to and took the time, they could make games require patreon log-in in the games themselves as a form of DRM.

The reason they don't is because handling an API is a bit of a pain. Everyone's is different. Paypal's API is different, Patreon's is different. You have to learn the ins and outs of theirs.

You also need quite the skill as a "NETWORK BACKEND" programmer. These are the basic skills college educated folk get that help them land jobs with companies like JPMorgan and Pepsi as programmers. Not many people have these skills.

And if you do this, you're basically making your game exclusive to that platform which is probably not the intended goal. Most finished games are going to go on traditional marketplaces at the end of the day.
___
Method 2: Create a general purpose program that has access to the database and encrypt's programs.
Problem is 1, it's general purpose. Not all programs handle encryption the same. Some games constantly encrypt and decrypt their packages during runtime. Encrypting an already encrypted program means it's a matter of priority which program's function runs first, so any time the program needs to access a resource there's a chance something can go wrong.
And the second problem would be that programs that run in that manner usually add a lot of overhead to the internally running game. This kind of DRM would absolutely destroy games like Skyrim where most of the CTD(Crash to Desktop) issues happen in the loading screen because of asynchronous functions (trying to load a resource that needs another resource to be loaded first, before the first resource is loaded)

I'd prefer method 1 personally, but Method 2 makes it easier for the end user, and DLsite can actually sell this ease of use as a feature to developers concerned about piracy.

Steam is technically method 2 as steam has a special loader, but it's very lightweight. It changes game files very little.

 

[ramenslurper]

hello, are the purple-haired girl and bear girl's scenes only one each or are there secret scenes for them??

 

[Inspector_Whatsup]

@ramenslurper Unfortunately, they have only one scene each.
