Ren'Py Fashion Business [Ep.5 v2.01 Extra] [DecentMonkey]

[BigSexy57]

Well, if to skip the part about bad sides of the game, talking about good sides only, then Ep1 was just an intro. Ep2 was quite promising and teasing story, Ep3 was bombastic exciting, but Ep4, am sorry, that's not what i was imagining to see as a good version of continue of ep3 events. I dunno what's happened, but in ep4 the quality of storytelling dropped down very much: events become primitive, idealess, just mechanical getting into sex situations, but the thrill of characters emotions was lost almost completely. If that's how the author gonna end the game - that's a kind of disapointment imho.
I doubt that from v9 to v16 any miracles like better scenarios of events will happen, since from v1 till v9 it was becoming only more bad and bad update after update, but i do hope for a miracle, still. Being realistic it don't give much chances for expectations to improve the game anyhow to its former high hot level. I bet it gonna just grow in count of simple as f scenes, but not in its quality of exiting at all.
In my dreams it all should goes in quite much hotter and interesting way, than all this ep4 poor stuff...
However renders are still fine, but i wasn't loving this game only for graphics. It's best part was the story. And the key word here - that it WAS.

anyway just tell me when it gonna be updated, with all the delays, as usual. i wanna feel the ruining of former masterpiece update by update, to know exactly - how exactly to not to develop porn games, ever. That's a good lesson, actually. At least something. ^_^

There are several objective reasons.
The most simple one is - unbalanced planing of content proportions in episodes. It's like:
- in Ep1 it was shown 5% of the story;
- in Ep2 - plus another 10%;
- in Ep3 - plus next 15%, so Ep1-Ep3 all together looks like just 30% of that story in actions;
- but the dev decided to end the story and put all the rest of its 70% in one ep4... It's just not possible, without a loss. Probably only about 20% would fit in Ep4, but the rest 50% of the whole story (not including the revenge path), based on previously started, mentioned, hinted, desired and possible routes, scenes, alt brunches, bad endings - are about to be cut out, shortened, modified so much that it will lost the meaning, the idea, the emotional and drama connection with previous Ep1-Ep3 events of the game. And that's exactly what i see is happening during whole ep4.

where did u get these % ?

 

[BigSexy57]

where did u get these % ?

They call it - the Math. You should try to learn it some day. You'd be surprised of how many more you may get from knowing it, even just a little.

 

[Promprotonsx]

What is the quests name in the event list?

The one that does not trigger is Julias new crush

 

[BigSexy57]

Everything natural have its proportions.

But if someone don't know it, he's free to make something like this and call it - being creative by his own way or something.

That's funny.

Yeah the event list is a little misleading. You need Monica to enter the lounge in the mansion for this scene to play. If it is not working have Monica go to sleep and go straight to the lounge the next morning.

After playing this episode I noticed that there are only three endings left.
It seems kind of too few, doesn't it? I mean we already know that Philip is going to have at least one his own ending. The office branch is supposed to have one. And there is also a revenge path.
So there will be no ending for Victoria, for the porn route, for White's route? Not to mention the Shine Hole, Clare, the jail, the farm, etc.

I feel like there has been a little bit of a miscommunication. I agree that there is no way only 3 endings are left.

He said at one point there would be 13 endings. I know one of the Dev Blogs said something about 6 endings. As I see things 13 would be much closer to my expected ending count.

I will quote the Patreon post about the 13 endings again.

" Episode 4 is the final episode!! Several storylines intertwine with each other, leading to one possible ending. This grand saga will culminate in 13 endings, some of which will be revealed in upcoming updates! The quality of the content we produce continues to grow, and we hope you'll be satisfied with what we've got in store for you!"

So the 13 endings could be counting the two endings in ep1 and maybe the ending with Monica being branded in ep3. So still a minimum of 10 endings in ep 4 which we have already seen 3.

Look I see where you are coming from. I agree some potential cool and hot scenes will never see the light of day. But putting % on expected progress of episodes is naive. Especially when ep 3 is not actually ep3. It is ep2 part 2. It was split because the file size was out of hand.

By the way many posters were complaining during the 1/2 to 3/4 mark of what is known as ep3 that the updates were nothing but fuck fests that had no story connected to them. Just like you were in your previous post about ep4. Lets judge and compare ep4 when it is completed to previous episodes. I think ep4 is tracking well compared to ep 3 at the same time of development. When DM can avoid lesbian and Fred shit I think ep 4 has been great. (Okay the lesbian crack is totally subjective but the Fred stuff is objectively shit) Version 8 is a good example. Unfortunately it is between v7 and v9. Both full of lesbians and one full of Fred.

However if this game has got to the point for you that it is no longer enjoyable I would suggest you do what I did with one game that I once really liked. That is to stop playing the updates and leave the game thread here to those who still like it. " Anna Exciting Affection" I thought was during part 1 good fun. I couldn't play past 4 or 5 updates of part 2. I left that game behind and if you feel about Fashion Business like I do for "AEA" just let this game go and play games that you enjoy.

Poor Fred

Poor Fred

Too be fair to Fred he is not the problem. Monica's brainless reaction to his cock is the issue.

Well, Decent Monkey said that there were going to be 13 endings a long time ago.
And in the most recent update we saw the screen like that...:

Happy new year everyone. To you flat Earthers yes it is 2025 and summer where I am.

And happy new year to you. The New Year's Eve without any snow..crazy.

Probably the spoiler is related to the date with another potential husband. Looks promising.
