Translated Terms of Usage of Japanese blogs

slimmmeiske2 · 2014-05-30T22:27:42+0900

From time to time, topics show up asking if this Japanese site states that their resources can be used commercially, or they're looking for the author's name, so they can credit them properly. However, sometimes their terms are complex enough that google translate isn't able to do his job. That's why I figured it might be a good idea to translate their terms to English. In case you are looking for the terms of a site not mentioned here, feel free to comment and link the site. I will try and translate them as quickly as possible. If you want a speedy answer it's best to PM me. FAQQ: Is it possible you haven't translated [Z]? A: Yes. I've done over 100+ sites now, but I'm nowhere near done I'm afraid. ;.; Just comment here or PM me (in case you want a faster reply). Q: What are these spoilers in your translation posts? I can't read them! A: And you shouldn't have to They're the original terms copied over from the translated site/blog. This is proof in case the site/blog decides at a later date to change their terms or if they decide to close down/disappear forever. Q: I can't find the resources on the site./The first post says this site has [X], but I can only find [Y]. A: Feel free to PM me and I'll point them out for you~ Q: The terms mention I should credit them, but doesn't really state how... A: There's a number of ways you could go. The safest way would be to use the author's name, site's name and site's URL when crediting. However, there's nothing wrong by just crediting the site or author. It's really up to you in the end. Q: Does optional mean I shouldn't credit them? A: On the contrary, it just means that legally you're not required to do so. I find it common decency though, to give credit to these artists/scripters; you'll probably have some resources where you'll be required to credit anyway. Q: Could you check if has gotten back to you about commercial usage? A: Of course! Feel free to PM or comment in this thread. Since I use different methods for different sites, it's hard to keep up with it.

Hello,

I really like the works of Cyanyurikago and I really want to use their work in the new IGMC and so for the commercial usage part, it says "small scale work" should I be able to use them or no? I don't know Japanese so I don't think I can contact them...what do you guys think?

Thanks!

This thread is amazing! Thank you so much for all of this! I just spent several hours stressing over whether or not I could use Janai's stuff in a commercial project... I thought maybe I was missing something, because the terms of use on that site are so short. I'll keep an eye on this thread, hopefully you'll hear from them soon; either way, at least you've given me a ton of other avenues to explore in the meantime!

Thanks again for all this hard work!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I've just checked, but sadly still no reply from Janai. :(

Small scale refers to the size of your team actually. Are you alone or do you have a very small team (for example 2-4 people)? That counts as doujin/small scale and allows commercial usage.

In other news: X-Hawk and The Gentleman On Moon now allow commercial usage! :D

I hadn't realised that 'small scale' meant the size of the team. This opens up more possibilities, so thank you very much for that clarification. Very helpful.

Slimmm, darling =]

How do Mack's terms apply to the generator?

http://www.geocities.jp/kurororo4/looseleaf/

As I understand it is the same as the rest of Mack's materials. Not based on RTP and available for use in any engine.

But is that true? Please and thanks.

For M-ART

It says credit is required...but how do I credit them ? It's all in Japanese.
slimmmeiske2

#230 Jul 13, 2015, 10:45 AM Source

By listing the site M-ART in your credits. ;) You can also use the author's name Napi, if you prefer that. There's no special rule as to how to credit them.
Chester

#231 Jul 13, 2015, 06:52 PM Source

Hey,

For Fayforest/Ruruga

On the part on How to Credit them...you have some Japanese wording and I was just wondering do I credit using the Japanese wording you have there or do I credit using the website/author.

Thanks!

RE: Nvm I used Google Translator and I'll just cite Fayforest/Ruruga in my credits section if that's correct :D
slimmmeiske2

#232 Jul 13, 2015, 07:23 PM Source

? I don't have any Japanese wording written there. (Unless you mean the spoilers? The spoilers are basically the terms they've posted on their site.)

Edit: I've added what type of resources you can find next to the site's name in the first post.

That's under A Gust of Wind. ^^ (As you can see in the blog's sidebar I'm the last person who commented on the blog asking if commercial usage was allowed. Still no answer though.)

I hope it's OK to ask this on this thread... if not, then hopefully a moderator will delete this post and no one will know! :)

I'm having trouble saving images from Kingdom Rise and Fall/Makapri.

More specifically, I can't figure out how to save images from this part of the site:

http://ameblo.jp/makapri/image-11286885146-12050468211.html

Up until now I've just been saving images from this part of the site instead:

http://ameblo.jp/makapri/theme3-10048518920.html

However, the male fairy faces on the blog are too small. The ones on the slideshow appear to be the right size
but I can't find a way to save them. If anyone can figure it out, I would be extremely grateful!

Not really the thread, but I've had this problem too. Try and save the images from this site. That works ^^

You are the best!! :D

Thank you, and thanks again for this amazing thread! (Especially the recently added notes about

which resource types are on each page; super helpful, probably saved me days of searching!)

Is there outside other foreign asset sites?
slimmmeiske2

#239 Jul 17, 2015, 10:19 AM Source

You mean if there are more Japanese resource sites than the ones listed here? Yes, of course there are.

#240 Jul 17, 2015, 12:58 PM Source

There are more foreign to Anglophones than just one nation.

I wondered, since I was French Quebecer, if I should start a tread like yours for non French readers! As in, if there is French spriters/asset makers that aren't typing their terms in plain English. Unless such topics already exist? I seem just to had picked yours so far!
