Sorry to ask what probably is obvious but how does .sol files work exactly?

It's a save file, you need to put it in "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Oyajigarisyoujyo\Local Store\#SharedObjects". Overwrite it and done.

Maybe I should include .txt on how to put the save file in the zip file

I agree, it would be tedious to recolor each asset one at a time. I'm thinking more along the lines of a custom tool that does batch color edits. Tengux and I were mulling over just such a tool before this pandemic threw a wrench in everything.

Anyway, my point being that it may not be feasible now, but it very well could be in the near future to do. Therefore, having the source characters listed could be very helpful to have.

Wasn't there image manipulator AI out, at least I heard something like that was used to enhance/alter game assets of command & conquer remaster.

You don't need, or even want, AI for palette swapping work. AI is both overkill and too unpredictable. A palette swap is a simple X->X' substitution, all you need is a find-and-replace algorithm with enough parsing functionality to tell if an instance of X is a color and should be replaced with X' or not a color and should be skipped.
Depending on the way the data's laid out, you might not need anything fancier than Notepad and the right strings to find and replace.

That is correct. SVG files store colors as simple eight bit strings. Two bits per RGB color and another two bits for alpha channel.

Correction: hex, not bits.

So recently I received emails from DLsite saying that two of JK's games were updated, those being Karen, Daughter of Martial Arts Plutocrat and Restraint and Interrogation - Princess Irene. Not sure what at all was changed, the games' pages only lists the update as "other".

Flash support ends at end of 2020, JSK updates his games to AIR format most likely in response.

Careful now, you're speaking rocket science to me.
I might have to rouse a mob, torches and march around your house, shouting; "Heresy, burn the witch!"

I had a chance too, I should have put the bitch in the ground, but I didn't. But on that same token, positioning oneself where an abusive con-artist can no longer cause you harm is a win in and of itself. THe icing on the cake is that I recently got custody of our daughter, and found myself a good woman to marry. Meanwhile said con-artist still lives by the skin of her teeth, and her silver tongue has begun to tarnish. My ex will prolly go the way of Metamorphosis in half a decade from now.

Wow, I honestly hope you don't have to deal with that kind of shit anymore, no one deserves it, the abuse both physich and emotional can really destroy anyone

As much as the graphics quality and content improves on each release, JSK seems to have a hard time improving his perspective drawing.

Not to mention he couldn't really get the correct hit on eyes on sideview/rear positions, he always tries to fit both eyes in the face everytime since the first game

The blushes are the thing that stands out to me. They're thin at the "horizon" of the face even when they should be thickest there.
I think that's technical limitations at work, though.

These scenes are great, especially close-up missionary ones. But I'm disappointed that there is no kissing scene or I'm missing it as well as lewd ending.

The eye problem stems from how JSK stores and uses the eye SVGs. The eyes are stored always looking straight ahead. He then will use some warping to make the eyes look like they are being viewed from an angle. This works up to a point. But you notice the eyes starting to look "flat" when viewed from too extreme of an angle. Eyes viewed from the side are quite a bit different than what he has drawn for front view eyes.

Here's an example:

I really think JSK would benefit from taking a break between games to just try to improve his base artistic skills. As it is, he improves through making incremental changes and improvements to his existing art in each new game. But things like side view eyes would not be an incremental step. He would have to spend a decent chunk of time to research and practice getting it right. And thus he has avoided such details to be able to bang out games at a set pace.

This may have to do with the fact that these games are his sole source of income now. He may not have the financial luxury of taking time off for self improvements.

And I'm happy to hear you avoided following your instincts. Good job man

No lie, I thank JSK and Yumisu Maou for that. With Overthrow! The Demon Queen I could at least pretend that I had a loving relationship while that irl trainwreck reached it's final destination. That's why I refuse to pirate games anymore, or use those comdot sites. If I have to use a fan translation I still buy the raw version. I cannot see that three year hiatus JSK took during the height of piracy as being due to "allergies" as claimed. Same with MGQ, although Paradox is a significant upgrade.

So, it seems the Man Hunter GIrl VS. Esper game got updated today on DLsite, going off by a bit from Google translate, the general gist is that some typos in the writing were fixed and some bugs were also fixed, the update mentioned that for more detailed info to check his Ci-en blog.

 

[Funsizelife]

Oh it's now his sole income? Uggh that's tough. Hopefully, he won't get burnt out from doing these things.

I wonder if he ever considered trying to work with someone else, to give him the opportunity to explore different mechanics or art styles.

 

[DelFox]

There are kissing scenes, you have to use the lip/tongue tool on a specific foreplay scene.

That's really tough to hear. I remember he had a blank period of no activity whatsoever and then he starts a new wave releasing games like every week. If I remember correctly that wave started with Shion. Could that be the starting point of his paradigm shift?
I don't know, but I think if he thinks he is as big as he is in the h-game community (i think he is) he may do better on patreon (even though it makes artists really greedy lol) i see some h-artists there get like 5k a month

Patreon is an option. I also think just having his games in more store's catelogs would help too. I personally think getting his games out on steam would increase his exposure the most. I know that it isn't advertised as such, but steam really has become the English speaking bastion for

if you use ccleaner, make sure to backup the folder. ccleaner delete that folder when cleaning.
which btw also used for saving crimson comics flash

Or you can use Custom Cleans section instead, select Applications, look for Multimedia, then Untick Adobe Flash Player.

That way you don't have to backup your save files every time you need to run ccleaner.
But do backup your save files just in case ccleaner messed it up, learned the hard way :/
