Hello everyone!

In this hotfix, I quickly fixed the following reported bugs:

• A crash at the end of the scene if you visit Shiny Hole during the day.

• A freeze after the scene with Green if you skipped the husband guessing show.

• The "husband casting results" quest did not start if you gave a soft rejection during the date with Campbell.

The download links have been updated.

Also, Windows and Android players can update прямо from inside the game (the updated update codes are in the download post).

Thank you to everyone who sent bug reports!
Enjoy the game!

Hey, DecentMonkey is here!
I'm very happy and proud to present the next update of Fashion Business to all of our fans!

It was a difficult update production-wise, and I apologize for the delayed release.
This is the penultimate update for this legendary saga, so I'm trying to implement as many of my ambitious ideas as possible.
For example, in this particular update, you will witness the final, fully animated battle between Monica and Molly in the Shiny Hole.

I ended up shooting a mocap scene especially for this scene, but it turned out to be a very challenging task.
As I have already mentioned before, I have access to the XSens Awinda mocap equipment.
This is a fairly basic model, but XSens itself is practically the best in its class of inertial systems, even though it has many of its own limitations.

If I could be maximalist about it, Hollywood-style, I would've had to build a podium with a dancing pole in a special lobby equipped with a Vicon optical system with 40 cameras, but this does not correspond to my modest budget.

That's why I tried to make the most of the resources I had.

The fact is that the XSens inertial mocap system operates using magnetic fields, and it did not work well with the metal dancing pole. But I didn't have the opportunity to build it out of wood, and it would have been very uncomfortable for the dancer anyway.

Therefore, I encountered a lot of interference and glitches when shooting.
Filming pole dancing is one of the most difficult tasks in mocap, in large part because complex movements with rotation around an axis require complete alignment of body parameters with the model, which is almost impossible (Monica is just too unique 😉)

But I did not turn away from the path to realizing one of my dreams for Fashion Business.

Since the battle is supposed to be hot, I reached out to and hired a local pole dance champion with pretty amazing skills 😉.
The release poster is a screenshot from the animation (made to look more decent compared to the game 😉)

Then, I spent countless hours and days trying to get an acceptable result from the recordings, taking all factors into account.
Far from all the movements that I would like to include in the game made it to the final build, but still, I was able to implement 24 actions in total, combining them into some spicy bits of gameplay.

I'm not completely happy with the result, because there are a bunch of glitches in the animations, but please be lenient here since I'm not a professional, and I've already spent a lot of time on this feature and didn't want to keep the players waiting any longer.

Besides pole dancing, there are many other hot animated scenes in the update!

It contains the ending for the office path and the completion of the husband auditions.
This is a spicy ending, some scenes from which are only available if Monica had a close relationship with all the investors.

During the development process, I've found out some problems with the questionnaire when starting a new game in Episode 5.
If you didn't do a Quick Start, but answered in detail, then you may need to do it again (I've added some new questions).
You may also experience issues with older saves.

In total, the update includes about 2000 pictures and lots of spicy animations!

What's new:

Office: Husband auditions are complete. What does Monica have to say about how her dates went? (Very spicy scene)

Office: Husband guessing show. Will Monica be able to earn a million, and what will she need to do for that? (Long spicy animated scene, Extra version content)

Office: Monica's return to her old life (almost 😉). How will Monica get her house back, and what will change in her life? (Lots of spicy animated scenes, Extra version content)

Shiny Hole: the final battle with Molly. Who will end up being the ultimate Queen of Shiny Hole? (Fully animated dance scene)

Shiny Hole: a private dance for a mysterious client. How long will Monica be able to hide her real name as the Queen of Shiny Hole? (Spicy animated scene, Extra version content)

This update is the penultimate one for Fashion Business.

As you know, I'm working on a new project that I hope to introduce to you soon.

At first, I plan to focus on the final update of Fashion Business in order to release it and the first version of the new project at the same time.
I'll strive to do that as soon as possible.

I'm always working hard on new content aimed at bringing you the utmost pleasure.

Thank you so much for your support!

Enjoy the Game!

The update will be out in the next few hours 😉

The release is scheduled for tomorrow (Monday)!

Greetings, loyal fans of Fashion Business!

Work on the next update is in full swing, but I need a little more time to finish everything properly.

One of the big parts of this update will be a large scene that completes the “husband casting” storyline - and it will be one of the game’s endings.

Thank you for your patience and support!
More news soon - stay tuned 😉

Monica wishes you a Merry Christmas and wants to wish you health and prosperity!

As you know, Monica doesn’t really like the people around her.
But she can love. And that special person is you!

Because only you can lead her through the new adventures waiting ahead.
Warm Monica with your kindness, and in the end, bring her to the happy ending she’s been hoping for.

While Monica is sending you her wishes, DecentMonkey also wants to say a few words.
Merry Christmas to all of you too - and thank you so much for your trust and support.
As you know, right now I’m working on finishing the Fashion Business epic, and also on a new game.

It will be a Dark Fantasy game, as the player poll decided.
It doesn’t have a final title yet - I will choose it right before release, when I can see the whole result.

The new project will also have a female protagonist.
Her name and look are still a secret, but I can say one thing: she and Monica would feel a bit too cramped in the same world, 🙈

Although… maybe they would become friends, judging by their personalities 😉

By the way, the new heroine is pretty good with a sword - and it’s not so easy to get close to her.
If you know Monica, you probably understand what I mean 😉

I’ve worked a lot on the story of the new project.
There won’t be "easy answers" like solving everything with a brand-new spell or just throwing fireballs everywhere.
Instead, there will be intrigue, bribery, a fight for power - and of course, a lot of hot content.
Magic will be in the game too, but I’m trying to make something that will also be interesting for Fashion Business players.

In the end, I brought the story to a point where I got truly excited about it myself - and if I were a player, I’d be impatient to see what happens next.

All I can say is: the plot has depth, and you’ll be able to see events in different ways depending on how far the story has progressed.
It will be pretty hard to guess what comes next (and most likely, you’ll guess wrong 😉)

The game is being made on different software, so I had to put in a huge amount of work to move all my development tools over.
A massive amount of work has been done, and we’ve made big progress.

In my opinion, this new project is a level above everything I’ve made before in visual quality and animations.
Of course, the final judgment is up to you - but I put all my strength, my soul, and many years of experience into creating something truly worthy.

Sadly, all my attempts to do everything in parallel didn’t work out.
Developing the new project is affecting the timing of regular Fashion Business updates.

I can only say this: these months, I’ve been working harder than ever (and I’ve always worked a lot).

I hope to release the first update of the new game in a couple of months.
At the same time, development of the next Fashion Business update is in full swing - and it promises to be very hot.
I hope that soon I’ll be able to start posting spoilers.

And like I said before: finishing Fashion Business does NOT mean the end of the game’s development.
The game will keep getting updates, because not all story events can be fully wrapped up before the ending.

Honestly, the story still has potential for 2–3 more episodes.
But I don’t want to turn the game into a soap opera - I want every update to be as strong and exciting as possible.

Thank you so much for believing in me and supporting me!
Next year will bring an incredible amount of content and pleasure!

Merry Christmas!

With love,

DecentMonkey
