Hello guys I may need your help, I used to play this lovely game time ago and stopped. Now I really want to get to the latest update and enjoy it again from where I stopped but i'm kinda lost with all the numbers and how the episodes numbers may have differed. My latest update (which I played and dont think I finished even) was EP2-v16.
So please any help what follows and what should i download to continue and if there's anything I might miss?! Thank you
Especially that in the download files there are 4 large parts..
Edit: Sry my latest update was EP2.2-v17 and didnt finish it

Guys who say Monica won't be changing personality much haven't noticed the "WHORE-METRE" on the upper right corner.
I personally can't wait to see some bimbofication in one of the plots.

Don't worry, we noticed to the point that originally the whoremeter was a slutmeter. DM changed it after a conversation Stan5851 and I had about this slutmeter being misnamed. One of the team said he agreed with us and the slutmeter would be changed in the next update, which it was. Look up the definitions of slut and whore if you believe there is no difference between the two. The whoremeter doesn't indicate future "bimbofication" in any way.

If you still have ep2 v16 installed, finish the content in that. That was the last update of ep2. When done download ep 3 and choose the main plot to continue.

Thank you for your reply, about that I noticed I had EP2.2 v17 and remembered where some changes in the gameplay were made maybe when the dev added events guide and hints.. Is this ep 3 you're talking about or 2.2 is different? this is what is confusing me tbh

Yeah can see why you are confused. Ep 2.2 was renamed as ep 3, ironically to avoid confusion. Ep2.2 v 17 is ep 3 v1. Sounds like you are good to download ep3 v14 and continue.

Achievement viewer for Ep 3 v14 extra. Haven't tested it with ep 3 v14 720p, but it should work fine. It doesn't work with previous versions of ep 3.

Notice for future versions: The gallery doesn't really get updated very often with new scenes, so if a future version doesn't have them, I won't update the mod.

It allows to view all the achievements without having unlocked them.
To view them, start or load a game and click the medal icon on the top left of the screen, just under the objectives. All of them should be unlocked.

To install it, just extract the file in the folder Fashion_Business\game .
To remove it, delete the files nm_gallery_viewer.rpy and nm_gallery_viewer.rpyc.

It doesn't touch the saves or any important part of the game. As far as I've tested it works as intended and hasn't fucked up my game, but that could be bullshit or I could just be lucky. If you encounter any significant bugs, let me know. Same goes if it works without a problem. Assuming that DM doesn't change their achievement code much, it should work with later versions as well.

Special thanks to vimmers for providing the scripts, I just couldn't download that behemoth.

Edit: works with v8 720p.
Edit #2: Cleared up the instructions a little.

Hello! How do I access the gallery?

Do you guys think there's an end / multiple endings in mind? My worry is that DM will keep it going for years which eventually will make it get stale.

Personally I wouldn't mind it ending in a year or two and him to focus on another project or creating Monica in the same alternate settings or timelines where a different serious of events happen.

This way you can have an older Bardie at college to see what ideas were in store there or what would have happened in her initial rise with "surpressed" memories of how she made it in the fashion world.

After all the industry is littered with stories of creepy photographers, rouge agents and back stage stuff in shows.

Generally speaking, if you focus on the main thing without spreading your efforts over a lot of side storylines (some of which are definitely due for completion), I agree with you that in a year or two DM could well finish the whole game, bringing it to a logical conclusion and a few different endings. And your idea with Monica in alternate timelines is pretty interesting too. Such a project could financially support the author after he completes the main Fashion Business and bring pleasure to those players who won't be ready to part with Monica and want to continue watching her adventures. I wouldn't want the current "Fashion Business" to drag on for years either, because in that time either the author will burn out and tire of the game, or it will happen to the players and subscribers.

No one knows what is waiting the game. I think even Decent Monkey himself is not sure. It seems to me that he doesn't have a complete plot in his mind and is just going with the flow.
For sure it seems that back then a few endings were planned, but the question is what's going to be realized in the end.
I personally think that it will be kind of hard to continue the game as it is now for more than, let's say 2 years (12-15 updates) and to keep it fresh and interesting. Monica will do everything in that time and there will be no point of continuing the game.

What after that? The Farm is a possibility. People want it. It will be popular. The story is clear. There could be updates for another 2-3 years. The only problem is whether Decent Monkey has the balls to develop it on Patreon or move to Subscribestar. Considering his past decisions with Bardie and so on, I think he won't risk it. But then again, starting a new game with new characters is also risky by itself since many new games fail.

i don`t even can predict that can take 3 years for 218) as we usually have 5-6 scenes - ok let it be 5, 1 reserved for Melanie (cuz of course she`ll get there too). <10 updates max to find a way out or the way to magazine cover.

As for current content - before v14 it`s started to become kinda boring. It`s story in the end and it needs to move forward, not circling around Victoria`s ass.

I think it will take ten years to update this game.

In fact, if the DM starts right now, he could very well finish the game within the next 2 years (+-). Let's assume everything goes well and DM keeps releasing regular size updates every ~45 days. Let's assume that episode 4 can contain 16 updates. 45x16=720/2=360. If you round up, that's the same 2 years. And, of course, Monica's story has to evolve and not stand still. I suppose there are no people who would be against that.

Am I the only one who wants to see a complete degradation of her soul?
At whore-meter 100% fighting for customers at the slums or her going to the hostel just to lick the black manager's cunt with fervour...

Oh, well. Thanks to Eva Kiss my dark soul seeing a woman depraved, is quenched.
