Ren'Py Fashion Business [Ep.4 v8.00 Extra] [DecentMonkey]

[EraRamp]

I finished Ep.4 v1 and I have some questions:

- I understand what Victoria is blackmailing Melanie with, but what exactly will Victoria's blackmail against Monica be about? There's no answer in v1. She's famous again, she's now a head of Fashion Magazine with Biff's salary, she can afford 10 ties for Dick.

- I wonder if Monica's repeated visits to Tiffany, interesting only for lovers of lesbian sex, are the best option for the plot. Since EP4 is called "Choices and Consequences", I'd like to see in the future what happens when Tiffany reveals Monica's compromising videos.

- and the third and most important question:
Why does Dev allow me to download the development version of the game from Patreon page? Standard 720p ver, definitely development pre-test version, still with bugs (deleted bathing scene in slums apartment, black screen when clicking on Melanie's place in dressing room)
And worst of all, the game with an open gallery!!!!!
THIS happened AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ep3 v16 I also downloaded with the gallery open). It's really annoying.

Era, can you make the next update without unordered gifts?


Inspired by your earlier post, I have a better idea.
DecentMonkey shouldn't have ended the game on EP4. Instead, after completing the first ending, eg. sending Monica to the Farm, he should stop. Then he should start creating Fashion Business GOLD, the best adult game on Patreon, the kind he wanted to create when he started this project.
And in the meantime, release every few months new episodes with only Melanie, Claire and Victoria. I'm sure we won't get bored waiting for Monica's return (with a tattoo on her neck)

It's hard to catch all the bugs at the beginning of the next part DM is already aware of it

I'll be cruel, but i don`t want any happy end for M&M`s as main ending)
btw Vicky could be good top manager for FB magazine. She has skills, not only beaty and warm mouth for that))

Tough to make everyone happy, I would like to see Claire become a main character caught up in the Victoria blackmail the same as Melanie. To see Claire go from where she started to a bathroom/living room table scene like Melanie would make this game 10 stars imo.

In the end I'm hoping their are multiple ending with variations on Happy, Cruel etc. Of course in all of them I want Victoria to end up on a Farm lol.

It's ok, these are non-critical bugs .
As for the unlocked gallery, I've done a few tests. When I start EP4 with questions, everything is fine, but when I try to load save from EP3 v16, the gallery is immediately unlocked.
The conclusion is clear: my saves are infected with virus, a gallery unlocker virus (VID-GU-FB_EP3-2023)

I think I need help but I'm wondering how to securely send my save to DecentMonkey...

I think the DM has already read your message

 

[Max971]

CODE to unlock scenes of the new chapter?!

Okay, but I need something more, like a gallery locker

I will try to send my save via discord

It doesn't matter if DecentMonkey is honest or not. He doesn't force you to play this game and he doesn't gain anything from you playing it because you don't support him anyway, and the only one who should be upset is DecentMonkey because he puts many hours into this game and gets punched in the face every time because it gets uploaded here so fast. There's an episode of The Simpsons where Homer illegally downloads movies, and when he made a movie himself, his friends illegally downloaded his movie, and he was pissed because he lost money.

Sorry there is no button like this, can you give me a tip? Thanks.

Well, the one who was upset in the first place is the Decent Monkey's loyal patron who pays him 30 dollars a month (that is 360 dollars a year). It is understandable that he is kind of disappointed with the size of the update. When you pay such a big amount of money, you expect a certain amount of work done by the developer. I mean, just imagine, you go to a store and buy a cake for 30 dolllars. You got home, you open the package, but there is only half of the cake inside. Would you be upset? I think I would. Then you call the store and the baker says to you, "If you don't like how I run my business, you can always buy cakes somewhere else. Good bye". It doesn't sound so nice, does it?)

Anyway, it is incredible how bad Decent Monkey at public relations. I mean time and again the same mistakes. He could have just said something like, "Sorry, guys, I was really busy making the transition between the episodes, coding and stuff and so I didn't have enough time to produce the amount of the content I usually do. But don't worry, the next update will be awesome." That is it, and he would have smelled like flowers, and not sounded like an asshole.

I passed episode 2 and I really liked it. This scene is one of the best in this episode

I hope in future episodes the developers will add an auction with investors and "bidding" on Monica

there will be casting between investors who will be her`s new husband in ep.4

and it seems to me that for the 2nd episode it was necessary to add H-scenes with a condom, at least at the beginning

It should be on the loading screen.

[Alea iacta est]

I created about 1.5k pictures in the last update, and I don't understand why someone would claim there isn't enough content in it.
Yes, if you don't play Philip's storyline and Victoria's storyline, there's not much other content, but, in the last update, there was no Victoria at all. And a lot of people love that plot.
And yes, I suggest comparing my release calendar, which includes release dates and number of pictures with other projects.

Someone may be doing more content, but it's very rare thing.

And I'm not going to do community management here on the pirate forum because I'm regularly insulted here.

I'm grateful to everyone who supports me.
And, if it's too much for someone, then don't do it, but don't insult me by saying I'm not doing something the way you want.
I do what I love and you don't buy me. I'm regularly offered big money for creating scenes exclusively for someone, but I don't agree because I'm following my own path.
I'm working really hard and put my soul in every update.

top quality, professional release sprint cycle.

Well done!

 

[Ostego]

in the last update, there was no Victoria at all

And I'm not going to do community management here on the pirate forum

i think it was not just about this forum. For Patreon it could work for same. (just Patreon message system is crap, so a lot off suporters write and discuss here).

Exluding some toxic persons here, we all just hope that new projects wouldn`t affect on quality of FB ending. And Melanie`s prewedding party

 

[Ostego]

So, don't worry about this.

So i can still worry about party?

Together with Melanie

I hope she`ll get a loooot of troubles there... Beeing bad friend is difficult

Any idea if Claire will be making an appearance again soon? Ideally she would meet Victoria and her table at least once before the end...I'm just sayin...and wishing and praying. Keep up the good work Decent

If i remember they didn`t meet before - it will be difficult to bring them together. And it`s different plots.
