Seems like it. The office route tends to receive little love.
It's not about a lack of love. I'd call it an artificial drag on time. Waiting 2 years for Philip's content is not normal. (And besides Philip there is Steve, who is also an investor). And it's sad, especially considering the fact that The Office Route is the main storyline of Fashion Business.

Yup. That's what I meant. The office storyline doesn't receive much attention. It gets put on the back burner in favor of other plotlines. Probably may take yet another few months before we see an update there.

I took a look on iNSight game - not really my type of game due to graphics. I can give an example of another game - Anna Exciting Affection. I think you should know it. There is also no clear plot. And Anna doesn't even hesitate to have sex with others. Well, I'm tired of explaining, I hope you get the idea what I am trying to say:D

And about your vision of Monica's future: it's difficult for me to understand (or maybe just ACCEPT) your position 'cause I love my concept of "woman becomes a thing". I LOVE moral and physical humiliation, I love sexual violence even if the plot is pushed into the background. But of course, as I said in my previous message, in that way there will be no place for the plot in such games. In most ones. And speaking about Monica... Well, I wish her bunch of futures each of which could satisfy you and me;)
I've played Anna Exciting Affection, but I can say it's pretty vanilla compared to iNSight of you. But to give you a rough idea of what we're talking about, here are a couple of small animations from iNSight. and this is how it may end. Monica would have a heart attack from such a possible prospect.

About Monica's future, I've suggested several different endings here, including extreme ones, and what I wrote above is just one of several possible good endings. Here's a post where I've pieced together some of my own (and not just my) suggestions.

Bit strange that he has given 2 spoilers from the home storyline out of the three so far. Lets hope some investor plot is waiting to be revealed. None of the spoilers have as yet raised my anticipation much. Dick being involved again looks interesting though.
Yeah, I totally agree. While the maid dress looks cute, the upcoming update doesn't seem very interesting so far.
I hope it is just because Decent Monkey doesn't want to spoil the main event of this update. Let's say, Marcus' storyline or the very anticipated Philip's event.

I don't agree with Astrid Hofferson in his desires for this game however his dislike of honey select graphics mirrors mine. I've struggled to get into a game like Pale Carnations for this reason. That's a game with a storyline I enjoy but the art style just kills it for me.

The Honey Select engine has good possibilities for customisation and creating beautiful animations and renders. The only problem is that not everyone knows how to make really beautiful games with this 3D engine. Pale Carnation had problems with the visuals, so some time ago the developers redid most of their early animations. But somehow or other, it's still all down to the ability and skill of the developer to use a variety of sophisticated software in addition to the basic Honey Select Studio to get the most beautiful visuals possible.

There are the games that were made by novices and turned out to be very simple and primitive (for example, a rather entertaining, albeit short game Lord King), there are people who learn from their mistakes and try to improve their skills in creating graphics with each update (for example, the creators of Pale Carnation) and they do it pretty well. There are developers who take a very serious and thoughtful approach to the question of creating graphics and then the game turns out more beautiful than many games on HS engine.

And there are celestials who create something out of the technically obsolete Honey Select 1 engine that is absolutely unattainable for others. And you just enjoy it. ;)

I appreciate the examples shown but I wasn't referring to animations when I was saying that Honey Select games don't do it for me. It is that all the character models look far to fake to my eye. The faces of the girls in these games seem to look childish. Your first three examples above show this well. When the mask is on the first two, she looks fine, then the mask is off and her face looks like an nine year old. I don't know exactly what it is about the character models in these games but I just fail to see any of them as attractive. I Know I wouldn't be a fan of this game if Monica was a Honey Select model.

I don't have problem with gameplay when just play normally. But when I want to remake some decision in the past that make me miss something or just want to replay for other outcome, it is a hell. Just 3+ days in-game past is a hell to load old save, make new decision and rush to current state.

There're a lot of activity and process in each day. Not to mention when I am playing ep2 or 3 and a choice that I want to change is in ep1, it's just impossible.

But I understand that changing gameplay is also impossible, and it's good when play normally. So, in dev perspective I think the easiest way is adding some cheat UI to edit past choices. It will solve many problems and improve QOL in one swoop easily.

no i don't think so
there are not even a link on his patreon site
only for eps3
That's really weird. How come the developer could complete 1st and 3rd episode for Mac, but not the 2nd?

Found this website with links for mac episode 2.1 v16 completed 720p:
MEGA:

What are your thoughts on this?

sorry i don't know anything about mac
but i downloaded your link
and it seems ok
so give it a try
also if you want to experiment you can also try to download the pc extra version = 1080
and overwrite the game folder inside the autorun folder on the mac folder
remember to save your zip files if anything goes wrong
so you can delete the folders u made and extract new
