I don't think he will do anything I suggested in my post. I was just answering your question as to what might happen to his Patreon account after he completes Fashion Business. My first preference would for him to begin another female protag game. I don't believe he will though under his Decent Monkey alias. Maybe he will move over fully to the L7 Team and start something new.While I certainly agree that many things in the game can be improved and so on, I don't see any reasons for Decent Monkey to do it. I mean if he could release it on Steam, that would make sense. But since it is not possible, what is the point? It would take a lot of time with no money reward. Maybe some of those Japanese sites? But he would need to translate the game into Japanese. No easy task. And I have no idea how profitable such a thing could be.
And I think it doesn't make sense according to the logic of the game for Monica to repeat any photoshoots. It is done once, published in the magazine and that is it. Why repeat it again? There is no reason. Maybe if Decent Monkey would add some additional shots into each of them, more explicit one, maybe it would be reasonable to do some of them twice (like Monica says that she needs more money and so Biff agrees only on the condition of shooting something hotter). But just adding a few lines of dialogues won't do.
Actually, I see more opportunity in Bardie's storyline. Decent Monkey can ask his patron whether they want to see and if they vote for it, he can distribute that DLC through his website, not directly through his Patreon account. I doubt that he is interested in it, but at least it makes some sense since many people love that storyline.
Whether it is logical or not to do the photo-shoots twice the game forces you to do that if you want to complete all the ep2 shoots. I was not suggesting any new renders needed to be made only some programming and some new dialogue showing Monica's reaction to repeating a shoot in the same outfit. As the game plays now Monica reacts to the outfits every time as if she has never seen or worn that outfit before. This has always annoyed me.
I think if he didn't want to have his patreon die after the games completion, some little quality of life improvement updates to the game from time to time would help. These could be done without any schedule and released as he finishes them. Again I don't expect this to happen but would appreciate it. Finishing the Bardie story would be great but I see zero chance of that eventuating.
