Lol

Thanks you very much for you are interested in our software.
We answer for your question as follows:

Now we are sorry for sale of IllustStudio is Windows OS only Japanese
version.
And we don’t support other language OS, we support the Japanese only.

We are sorry for overseas release and English version for IllustStudio is
undecided.

Sorry for inconvenience.

I guess "Japanese language downloadable version is ok." was not clear enough...

The IllustStudio logo reminds me of the i-mode logo.

 You asked them a wrong question.
Well, I am planning to write them, once i am fully fonvinced with IS (hell yea i acctually already am , but *shrugs* got an other month on trial),
Basically who wants a translated softwarepack, but all we want is a license, a serial number.  If they can sell me a serial number, I  kk

You asked them a wrong question.

The mail was like this... as simple as I could write it

Is it possible to buy IllustStudio from Europe (Belgium)?
Japanese language downloadable version is ok.

[Coda]

Oi...
Just sent mine.
Pretty damn curious on what they will reply to me, i nearly wrote them a loveletter >.> ( they are Japanese you know... they like stuff neat, cute and presented on a silver plate x) )
Oh well we shall see

I'd rather wait for a English version maybe by then they'll iron the kinks and polish the program more. Found a few bugs and there seems to be a huge slowdown when I use selections and layers, also you can't hide the selection ants or use layer masks.

They say you can try to buy with credit card from the CELSYS Direct website.

[Coda]

hmmm... yup.  So i am guessing Japanese residence isn't required. =/?

[Kaetemi]

Well, the registration forms force you to enter a japanese looking address, but you can force stuff in there if you format it correctly, and just ignore the crap that you can't set right.

You will be purchase IllustStudio DL version as follow URL.
However, these are Japanese only.

・CELSYS DIRECT (Online Shopping E-store)
https://www2.celsys.co.jp/script/wwwapi.dll?OnBrowse&txIHtmlBrowse=netdc/store/gate.html

Perhaps, if your credit number is effective, you will can buy it.
Although we repeat that, we don’t support other language OS, we support the Japanese only.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Best Regards,
CELSYS

Yea, i got the very same mail, they must be getting a decent amount of those to have a template reply ready >.>.
I have spent about an hour on thier registration form @celsys direct,  filling that damn thing looks like filling an insurance form... jeez...  bleh.. just cba with that
Oh well, still got 28 days on trial, may be some key gen or just a random SN will pop up somewhere on the net, Celsys could also release a eng version (which i highly doubt but w/e). Time will tell.

How did you managed to translate IllustStudio? You think it would be possible to translate NekoPaint as well? Really enjoying nekopaint for inking, the pressure curve makes all the difference and you can use any bitmap you want for the brush nib as opposed to SAI which uses points for the elemaps.

[whazzup]

oh pls, let the fanmade translation be out soon!!

I just installed this prog, but it asks me for some serial number.
Where I can get one?

[figue]

You have to register on the site then request a serial which will be emailed to you.
