Ren'Py Fashion Business [Ep.4 v10.00 Extra] [DecentMonkey]

[hubvan]

I haven't played the update myself , but feel those who haven't played the game can show a bit of patience and some benevolence to the developer , it's hard enough to develop a game which makes your living and harder to watch it getting shared instantly. Ultimately, it's the developer and the game that suffers and no one wants that. No one gets hurt by waiting a week or two.

I fully agree that it sucks to see your game instantly being shared after you released it but then again it shares the fate of basically any media which is released online (which doesn't make it necessarily better) but even more importantly 99% of the people who download it wouldn't pay for it anyway. And that 1% which would pay (which is a lot given the amount of downloads) might just be as well the 1% that supports decent monkey only because they know about him from f95zone in the first place. I feel like especially the larger game kind of benefit from this free advertisment whereas it's the small creators/ studio which have a really hard time getting their leg in the door (does the proverb go like this? )

Anyway, 20$ is simply too steep for a two monthly release schedule. Might be justified for a monthly schedule though. You pay 240$ for this a year. Imagine what you get for that money on steam with all the promos they do and shit. It's simply too expensive to spend so much money on a single game. Thats more like the money I would spend on porn in a whole year. If any.

Я хотел как лучше

А получилось как всегда (В.С. Черномырдин)/ And it turned out as usual.

But it turned out as usual. And now even deleting the post will not help, your post has already been cited. And the developer does not read this thread very often. Just to understand - you all are waiting for the 4th episode and want to see the final of this wonderful game, but few of you think that this is still (if the 4th episode will be 16 updates) - 2 years of hard work creator and his team of assistants. Over the last year the number of subscribers decreased, the data varies, but it is from 15 to 20% Most people (if you do not take those brave patrons, which is a little over a thousand people) play for free, without thinking about anything. But if the number of subscribers continues to decline, we may be faced with a situation where the developer (DM) is faced with a dilemma of whether to keep making the game or not.

I, like all of you, really want to see the finale of this legendary game, but I'm afraid that what has already happened to other games might happen - the developer loses motivation/desire to create and the game turns into an abandoned project. Do you want to see Fashion Business - abandoned on f95 one day? I don't want that either, but I know that a leak like that almost on release day is maximally detrimental to any game developer. I gave my opinion, you may not agree with it - that's your right. But then do not say that you were not warned.

you can pay only on update so it will be 120$
last updates take me 2-3 hours each. and i`m fast one, so it will be near 12-18 hours of gameplay per year. last AAA titles have lesser play time with cost moving to 100$ with dlc`s.

yeah it's a fair point that you only have to pay on release dates but then again the idea of continuous patreon support is kind of tarnished... I also played all the updates and honestly 12-18 hours seems extremly high, but maybe that's because I skip through a lot of stuff which is predictable and not interesting for me. Personally I consider 60-80% of the updates usually to be quite reduntant and replacable due to many paths I don't really like or are boring, so in essence every update boils down to one (or maximum two) exciting scene. I think this applies to the majority of the players and should also be taken into account.

Maybe I'll throw him 20 bucks at the end of this episode and then another at the end of episode 4 which would be kinda fair.

as it`s leaked, you can freely write your usual review)

Yeah, that's what I'll do, but I'll probably have to hide the whole wall of text under a spoiler, hehe).

He said " This episode will be the final in the game. It’s supposed to have 8 new endings that will be released gradually along with new updates. " So we can hope ranch 218 going in developpement after that ?

we can hope. Before v16 i could say that, we wouldn`t see any bdsm action, but now i wouldn`t say that DM banned bestiality at all. (of course in the end of game)
for example - last episode (ep4 version 16), and ban for account)

Somewhere in a parallel universe.

you mean a bunch of fuckers who can't accept that English is the main language here?

I remember the good old days, when only the 720p version was available in public access a day later (or on release day), and players on f95 could wait 1-2-3+ weeks for the Extra version. At least this scheme of game "distribution" is not as disastrous for the developer as what happens during the recent updates, when almost the day after the release someone leaks the Extra-version to the public domain.

only the 720p version of game is leaked after 2 days. why you're so mad about it?

Because a link was given to the developer's repository, not just a torrent or mega. Ostego's post explains it all. I couldn't have said it better. And the post following it completes the overall picture.
