I have found the following statement on the Decent Monkey Website, in the news-section of the website, dated on 12.03.2025:

With this update (he is talking about v11), we’re getting pretty close to the ultimate conclusion of the Fashion Business epic.
However, due to the large size of Episode 4, I have decided that this update will be the final one for this episode. Hence, I’m starting to work on Episode 5.
It will be shorter than the previous ones, but it will shine the brightest and tie all the loose ends.

On 09.06.2025 (approx. 3 month later) a picture is posted that Episode 4 v12 is 78% completed.

Does anyone know which is the true fact?, is he working on EP 4 v12 or on EP 5 with v11 beeing the last Version of EP 4?

I still don't understand why you should create multiple versions of games by dividing them into episodes if you can just make one game.

As far as I know, EP 4 is planned to be the last one

as Wagdy75
say it's to big
and earlier renpy engines couldn't handle all those variables there are in fashion business
but i also hope that DM will make it as a 1 file with all episodes
but that will probably be a hell of a big job
so i think it's better he concentrates on the new game.
he had polls about

These are limitations of the Ren'Py engine and almost all platforms for downloading games. If the game is so large, no one will be able to download it in one go. Ren'Py starts to glitch if there are more than 30,000 images and animations in a single game.

I didn't know that :oops:.

Hopefully, a visual novel engine that supports and goes beyond those limits will emerge in the future — after all, it's 2025!
