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

[Stan5851]

No need for people to wet their pants. It might have been closer to 10 minutes. I didn't have my stopwatch to hand counting it down. I generally get download speeds of about 14 to 16 MB/s from MEGA. So it would of been just over 10minutes.
The point being it was a lot quicker to download the whole episode than it was to download just the update through whatever DM uses for us to use the "update game" function.

By the way how dare anyone put that ugly hat on Monica.

The problem is that a regular user with a free Mega account is limited to 4 GB for 1 download session...After that you have to either reconnect to the Internet (if you have a “gray” IP), or wait several hours, or figure out something else...And users with a "white" dedicated IP in this sense are even more unlucky (and I am among them), this way of reconnecting to the provider will not help them at all. And they need to act in some other ways (VPN, proxies, etc. things)...So in this sense, despite the traditionally high load on DM servers (in the first hours after the game release), it was the “update game” function that was fastest for me.

 

[Stan5851]

yes they promise that
but in irl they are slow compared to other filehosts

As a long time Mega user, I can say that it is quite fast (and what Ostego wrote about 30-50MB/sec depending on time) is also true...(at least for me and Ostego, living in the same city)..But only Pixeldrain is still faster (at least for me) and only this service was able to fully utilize all the bandwidth of my connection.

for Fashion Buisness Episode 4, I'm trying to go on Victoria's content but I can't go past "Beginning of Transformation" event and reach the "Model contract" event where it doesn't show up... Do I have to do another thing to continue on after getting Melanie a tattoo? I have the latest update v9.02...
Also It sucks that Grace scene was hidden behind the activation wall...

Silver_Crow117, are you playing Fashion Business? This is the revelation of the year.

Regarding the transformation and the quest Model contract, tre looking at first

You must be registered to see the links

If that doesn't help, we'll think further.. There are usually no problems with getting new content, so it's hard for me to say anything specific about it. Anyway, maybe agn25, vimmers or Ostego know more about it and will be able to help you. As for activation, vimmers knows about it.

Lol Yeah, its cuz I saw you talking about it in another thread so I got curious heh... but yeah After the "Beginning of Transformation" event, It turns Victorias content in the Diary green... And I'm not sure how to progress?... I have the latest update from the 1st page so I'm not sure what's wrong :/

And did you start playing from the beginning, from episode 1? Because all the eps (1-4) are interconnected.

Silver "the cheater" started playing in ep.4 !

There is no way he could have only gotten stuck in ep.4 when the previous ones are an absolute maze!

Maybe this is such karma of Fashion Business, for Silver decided to cheat the game and started from the last episode ...BTW, as I wrote, starting from the 3rd episode FB is played as a classic grind-free AVN.

I hate MEGA with all my heart. As a "peasant" who doesn't pay the premium, the downloads freeze at 1 GB or even earlier and I have to use the VPN to download another 1 GB and then change the IP again with the VPN to continue downloading, horrible experience . Pixeldrain is very good as long as the download is under 5 GB.

In the end, Steam is the only way for me to have unlimited downloads at a good speed .

...BTW, as I wrote, starting from the 3rd episode FB is played as a classic grind-free AVN.

Yes, the first and second episodes need to be remastered, too bad it's a single developer without the resources to do it.

I too am a “peasant” in that sense and have never paid to use Mega. I don't know what Mega's new policy is now for new users, but when I created an account there years ago, it didn't (and still doesn't) cost a dime...I just have a free account and as a gift from Mega I have 50GB of dedicated space to store any files, which I use...And the session limit for downloads is 4GB (not 1GB like you). Maybe if you try to register there, you'll get 50GB of space and registration-related download privileges, too..

As for the remaster of ep2, this is in the dev plans and this process (as far as I know) goes in parallel with the development of ep4...At least, some time ago we got a new version of ep3 (v16.01), optimized and improved and all this did not prevent DM from releasing updates for Ep4 in parallel. So I guess it's not a matter of resources, but a matter of timing and priorities.

I mean… I did start episode 4 by itself with me picking the choices… BUT I DID PLAY EPISODE 1-3 MY SAVES GOT CORRUPTED AND I DONT WANT TO PLAY THOSE EPISODES AGAIN!! (I mean I will cuz I think this game is really good)… just weird that me not being the saves over and picking the choices would cause the game to not progress…

There you go, see PickerLewd?.Now we should be ashamed of ourselves for doubting Silver, hehe.
Silver_Crow117, actually, the DM has thought of everything, and basically, you can just start a new game in ep4 by answering the game's questions about what decisions your Monica made in the previous 3 eps... I mean, it's the perfect solution in case something happened to the old saves and you don't want to replay the whole thing over again.

 

[Stan5851]

Silver_Crow117, until agn25 shows up in the thread who might know what the problem is with your ep4 quests, I want to say that if the walkthrough I gave you a link to doesn't help, try focusing on the main storyline "Office".. Many of the quests in the secondary storylines are related specifically to your progress in the main storyline.

I just have a free account and as a gift from Mega I have 50GB of dedicated space to store any files, which I use...And the session limit for downloads is 4GB (not 1GB like you). Maybe if you try to register there, you'll get 50GB of space and registration-related download privileges, too..

But I'm like a giant rat who doesn't want to register and have accounts everywhere and I use the browser to download .

I actually rarely use MEGA, luckily there are always other hosts available, otherwise I end up subscribing and crying to the developer for another way to download the content .

In fact, I met F95 by chance two years ago. I was playing BaDIK and was looking for help with the words in the English exam (mini-game) and I ended up here, but I couldn't see any links to the guides so I had to register. I don't regret it, I've discovered at least 50 decent games that I would never have known or found. I also met a lot of very funny trolls.

just weird that me not being the saves over and picking the choices would cause the game to not progress…

Usually happens. Loading saves from previous parts almost always works fine (except for the damn College Kings), but when starting the new parts/chapters directly and answering questions, sometimes the flags are not configured correctly.

FB doesn't have that problem..I'm 99.9% sure that Silver's problem with the quest has nothing to do with flags or anything like that. In ep4, the lion's share of quests in general are triggered by a simple mouse click while Monica is sitting in her chair in Fashion Magazine's office.

The main game points and their solutions are in the FAQ, but what Silver is asking about is not what players are constantly asking about in this thread. Otherwise it would already be in the FAQ.

We expect an update after January 20th

Yeah I’ve finished the office storyline and Victorias storyline is still stuck at “Beginning of Transformation” event :/ maybe I’ll have to do everything from episode 1 and up :/

You may be expecting after the 20th, but we expect after the 6th.

Silver_Crow117, there's definitely no point in starting from scratch, you'll just lose a lot of time. Better to just switch to something else until the players I mentioned show up in the thread..They will probably be able to answer your question.

Speaking of questions: have you tried doing this?

You should be able to continue Victoria's path from "Beginning of Transformation" after completing "pool party". It is the third husband audition in the office path.
