What's included:
1. Another photoshoot for Ms. White?
2. Shiny Hole.
3. Steve's wedding.
4. Street hooker.
5. Convincing Ryan.

What's been missed
An update on the office photoshoots...yet again!

However, it does seem to be an interesting update. I hope it's uploaded to a server other than Mega.

The list of listed events doesn't excite me at all. Monica's global story is frozen in place and nothing important happens in the main plot of the game. I'll wait for v14, maybe something interesting will happen there.

If that is the case, that would be a total bummer.

Unable to decipher "still no boosty acc." Trying to figure out what those words mean.

Boosty is an analogue of patreon which is available in the CIS. It was promised because of problems with payment cards. And it's strange to see messages that there are problems with payments nowadays from the developer.

That was a pretty productive nights sleep. Wake up to two spoilers and an announcement of the release in less than 24 hours.(y) Some may not have the story lines updated that they are looking for but we all know that the next update after this will release around the 20th next month.

Compare this to a game like City Of Broken Dreamers. Just had an update after 5 1/2 to 6 months, and I got through the update in an hour with reading every line of text. That game wont be updated until March or April next year. We the fans of this game are well looked after.

We all should appreciate Decent Monkey for his talent and work rate.

The problem is not that the DM does not work well. On the contrary, it works quickly and productively and is the envy of many developers of other Adult VN games. The problem is something else - the global FB storyline is stagnant and quick work on each update won't fix that, as long as the point of effort is to create fillers (additional material) instead of advancing the main game's story. I'm not even talking about Monica's fate - it seems to have been forgotten about by everyone. With the talents of DM you can make amazing updates, but for that it's advisable to listen to the community or ask yourself - what exactly did I want to show/tell people in my game and what was my original goal?

And the worst thing is that we have no idea what the roadmap (and if there is one) of our game is. The DM just keeps quiet and it doesn't add clarity about where the game is heading (and I'm not talking about the new "Whoremeter" scale now, but much more serious stuff like the global plot and the fate of the protagonist).

As for City of Broken Dreamers - yes, it has a long update cycle comparable to Being a DIK, but there's a clear main plot thread - saving a very unusual girl. And on that backbone everything else builds, including sex scenes with other characters. And if memory serves me right, I saw a developer post somewhere where he roughly outlined a timeline for the completion of his game. That doesn't mean I want FB to end quickly. I hope that there will still be at least episode 4+, but at the same time, I would really like this game to conquer the players exactly with its story. What will be remembered is not the number of sex scenes Monica has with bums in the Slums or VIP Escort clients, but how interesting and compelling the story told by the author of the game was.

Don't think there's a roadmap anymore, it's mainly a really good sex VN. The way the plot and dialogue is written one would expect some main story, but it's all gone into sideshows now, which I don't mind, it's just that the sideshows loosely linger to the main story while not having much of their own stories and are just there for expanding scenes. It creates alot of "WTF this got to do with anything..?" moments.
