first you download eps3 (you probably already done that)
then you download Pixeldrain
then you extract that file into FashionBusiness-EP3-v16-Extra-pc\game
Is that activation for episode 3 and 4?
I'm a little bit confused, so episodes 3 and 4 have the same activation?
Once I extract the files to the "game" folder, do I need to download the attachments in this post?

z_activation_316.rpy for ep3 and z_activation_407.rpy for ep4

I don't need the fb_unextra.zip right? If I just want to get an extra scene in the game without the need to decode the image and see the image in the image viewer. Or is fb_unextra.zip a mandatory step to unlock extra scenes?

Sure but wasn't that the 720 version? They always claimed that the leaking of the 720 version wasn't a huge issue. It's the 1080 version they shout and scream about when leaked. The 1080 version took over two weeks to leak didn't it? That's very slow compared too most other games on this site.

As I said it may just be that the animations were much larger and time consuming too produce for FB than the other two games this update cycle. I'm not accusing that FB got short changed yet, just that it is something to keep an eye on..
In terms of 'images' slicing an animation up and counting each frame is already pretty bad to include in the count of 'new images'. Kinda yes, bnut really its one render resulting in dozens of images with an option hidden behind a paywall to continue that same scene.

At what point do the 'episodes' of a game start getting counted as a new game? The game is fractured into paywalls and linear choices now, the games a shadow of itself. I have resisted rating it because the earlier episodes would get a high rating and the later episodes I wouldnt even call a game rather a VN.

I used to put money toward the dev but stopped and instead of thinking its worth doing again im actually left not wanting to play at all and actually bored with it. Its not a game, its now a virtual novel thats been going on faaaaaar to long in one direction, with the limited choices sliced in half behind a paywall.

For me this game is like a movie I liked with the sequels getting progressively worse and the essence that made it great in the first place seems to to have vanished.

Something strange happened when I opened the latest update. The story jumped ahead to some point where Monica is back in her position as boss of the magazine. I don't recall ever reaching such a point in the story.

So help me out here - I played total bitch Monica through episode one and it seems it was all setup. A lot of grind for not a lot of fun content. The prison sequence almost had me quitting. Episode two is beginning the same. There are many of you here and nearly 1600 messages so I *believe* and hope it will get better.

What say you?

People who know and frequent this thread will answer you, but I don't think the 720p version is fixable, I've read that they download the version called "1080p extra" to try to crack the game and activate the extras.
I can't help you much as I got stuck in episode 1 forever :KEK: and as I'm playing several things at once I haven't finished it yet.

My God! Do yourself a favour and never attempt ep2. If you are still in ep1, ep 2 will take you 10 years.

I hear you. I agree ep3 and on is more a visual novel than a sandbox game. I think you would be the minority though in thinking it was a change for the worse. I personally more than half agree with you. I miss the feeling of the game being open. It now is on rails with all the paths now converging.
