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

[Stan5851]

no save transfer from episode 4

It's there, it's just done exactly the same way as in previous episodes. You start Ep5v1, load from your current save, and then the game will ask you to answer a few questions about events that the game didn't find in your Ep4v11 save file). You answer these questions (it's better to choose detailed ones) and continue playing Ep5v1. All of Monica's stats, other data, and variable and flag values from all previous episodes will be carried over automatically. Most importantly, don't forget to make a new save.

Greetings, loyal fans of Fashion Business!
It’s me, DecentMonkey, and I bring a lot of news!

I am very happy to announce the release of another cool update for the game!

This update took longer than usual. However, this is due to the complexity of its contents. I appreciate your trust and so please let me explain what I have been doing during all this time in great detail.

• To start things off, this update introduces Episode 5 of the game, called Conclusions, which will include the remaining storylines and endings.
  I made the decision to split it off into a new episode because of the large size of the game, which caused inconvenience when updating for those who download the entire distribution.
  The transition to a new episode always involves additional coding: creating a questionnaire, accounting for all event flags, correctly transferring the game state, and so on.
  
  This inevitably takes up development time, but that’s not the main course.
• I now have access to XSens mocap equipment, and I spent some of my time learning how to create MoCap animations.
  As it turned out, this is a rather complicated process that requires me to write a lot of processing and conversion scripts to transfer them to characters in DAZ3D.
  
  However, I sure am looking forward to the upcoming development of dances for Monica’s final battle in Shiny Hole! This will provide many opportunities for a hot storyline!
• Most of my time developing the update was spent creating Monica’s boxing match scene.
  As you know, I don’t just produce a string of boring, samey updates, but I always enjoy introducing new features that improve the game, to make you guys happy.
  
  That’s why implementing new mechanics during combat has been my desire for a very long time. It’s a complex and lengthy process, and I knew it would delay the development of the update, but it was impossible to postpone it any further due to the storyline’s progression.
  
  The mechanics include fully animated real-time fighting!
  
  It turned out that there were no suitable animations for combat movements anywhere on the Internet, or they were boring and of poor quality. This didn’t suit me, as I want our game to be the best it can be.
• In the end, my friends from L7team helped me find real female kickboxers (!) to film Monica’s fight moves with Charlotte.
  
  The problem was that we only had one XSens suit available, so we had to record the movements on video and then repeat them with another character wearing the suit.
  
  Then there were many days and weeks of fine-tuning the animations. As you may know, interactions between objects in a mocap are always difficult, so in AAA projects, actors are selected according to the proportions of the characters (height, length of arms, legs, etc.), but I had to manually process all the animations and adjust the timing and movements.
  
  I’m not a professional at this, and it was my first experience with that, so please don’t judge the result too harshly.
  
  All in all, you can expect about 280 manually rendered visual fragments that provide the cinematic quality to the gameplay, including some unexpected hot content during combat.
  
  You will see Monica fully alive and help her express her character

I hope you enjoy this scene and that my efforts will not be in vain.That’s not all that awaits you in the update!
It also includes a huge number of hot scenes! In addition, the update includes about 2300 new images and many classic hot animations!

The game’s plot is approaching its climax, so many storylines are beginning to intertwine. This means that if some story branches have been discontinued, some content with other characters may not be available (the choices you make matter).

What awaits you:

Victoria, White & Biff: Victoria becomes a model, but how will that happen? Besides, there are competitors from Fashion Magazine and Biff reappears. What will Monica have to go through to get out of this situation? (group photoshoot, long hot animated scene, extra content)

Victoria & Melanie: hot pre-wedding photoshoot with Melanie and Monica (animated scene, extreme content, extra version content)

Shiny Hole: training with Claire and Monica’s long process of growth to increase her chances of winning the fight. Without training, Monica won’t be as resilient and will know fewer moves, attacks, and blocks, but she still has a chance to win thanks to you! (animated scene)

Boxing Ring: fully animated fight between Monica and Charlotte. Unexpected twists with hot content (long animated scene, extra version content)

Steve: Monica may agree to Steve’s adventure. Will the honest businessman keep his promise, and what will Monica have to do for it? (animated scene, extra version content)

Turner: Turner is a superstar. If Monica takes advantage of his support in the ring, she has the opportunity to get an expensive dress for free and make a lot of money from it. What will Monica need to do to achieve this? (hot photoshoot, animated scene)

Shiny Hole – Claire: Claire is Monica’s truest friend in the world. Maybe it’s worth reciprocating her feelings? (animated scene, extra content)

Some of the scenes listed are available as endings to the boxing match. Monica can win the match, accept Steve’s proposal, or not start the fight at all. This update is highly replayable and must be played several times to see all the possible plot twists!

Fashion Business is nearing completion, so I am also devoting time to developing my next project. I am already squeezing the most out of the current technology (DAZ3D + 3dsMAX), so I plan to switch to Blender. This will significantly improve the visual aspect of the future game and open up a lot of space for creating much cooler animations.

This requires me to master new technologies and create a wide range of scripts for Blender.

I plan to present you with a new project this year, which is expected to be even better than Fashion Business!

However, don’t worry about Monica. Even after the game is finished, I plan to periodically release small updates that will develop additional storylines.

As you can see, I have been working hard all this time to continue making you guys happy with quality content!
I really appreciate your trust and promise that I will never let you down! It is only thanks to your support that the world of Fashion Business lives on!

You also live in the world of this game, just like me. This is our game, which we create together with you day after day!
And I promise that I will do everything to make it the best game in its genre!

Thank you for your support!

Enjoy the Game!

Enjoy the Game

wauw that was a long read. but very informative

 

[mer2333]

Could you text here what happened with Claire? Only lesbian content or sth spicy with dicks?

only lesbian

 

[striber]

Victoria works best when she's raising the stakes for her 'friends' this update didn't really put the friends in any situation we haven't seen before

what happened to Campbell's PA wanted one scene with her doubt it will happen

 

[PickerLewd]

Although it may not be as sexy in reality as it is in our fantasies...And even scary at times.

What a horror ! Do you think these images were created by AI?

If they are real, then the photographer did a great job of capturing the worst possible shots .

 

[Gian83]

Personal judgment on this update: after four months of waiting a few hot scenes and many scenes of long and useless dialogues with 2 miserable sex position of Monica....really disappointing

I'd tell you where you can stick your “authoritative” judgment , but lucky for you, I'm too busy. One bitch needs to be taught a lesson and Monica's ready to kick her ass.

PickerLewd, I think they're real. That was the first thing that came up on my google query about "female fighting in the mud". But you're right, the photographer did his "best".

If you're nervous, jerk off, buddy...it'll help you be more polite and feel better

Says the dude who likes to grovel in PM and beg others players not to post new FB spoilers ahead of him so he can get a few extra likes, lol. I know all about you, buddy. Anyway, you've been annoying me for a long time, so it's time for you to head to my blacklist. Bye and say hi to the rest of the clowns.

I don't think you own this forum, and if you're here to incite hatred, you can go elsewhere. I'll continue to express my opinions, and if you're not happy with it, read more. Kisses and drink less coffee. They make you nervous and selfish.

The events of this update don't seem to fit my taste, but I'm curious about that technology. Does it really look great?

not even to my taste but yes the technology is appreciable in my opinion

They're AI. One clue is the fact that the women in the second pic have almost the same face, and the AI distorted both faces slightly. Another clue is the nose on the middle woman in the third pic. The AI couldn't figure out what nose to give her, so it basically gave her two. And a third clue in the woman on the right in the third pic. Where is her other leg? And what is she grabbing?

The images are definitely AI.

 

[Asasasthe]

It will be nice to do all that dirty things with biff and secretary that monika didn’t yet

 

[Sladen]

I've read that there are many things that have been cut from this game. Does this also mean that there are new versions of episode 1 and 2 and 3 to adjust to these changes, and if so, are the ones in the original post the newest versions ?

 

[MrVeee]

i dont think anything is cut.. they had to remove that kid plot from episode 1 since he looks (prolly is underage for steam release) they ended up removing the game from steam all together .

As far as I know, the OP has an older version of Ep2v16 where the content related to the Bardie character has not been cut yet. The link to episode 3 in the OP was updated some time ago and now there's a newer version (remaster) than there was before. But nothing was ever cut out in episode 3. So if you want to see maximum content, play ep 1-->Ep2 Completed and so on. Also, I highly recommend reading the FAQ, there are answers to most questions there.

Feel free to give your honest opinion. Ignore Stan's reply. Don't know what Stan's problem is with a long time fan giving an honest opinion about the update. To anyone else out there who have played this update tell us all what you really think. Good or bad.

Don't think I've felt as little anticipation about an update since I first played. The fact the update was released at a decent time locally for me and after reading the update post by DM I just went straight to bed. Just not feeling it at all. Don't think I will even play the update tonight after work, would rather just watch the footy.
