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

Hello everyone!
I'm very happy to announce the new update for the fifth episode of your favorite game, Fashion Business!

I heave a sigh of relief as I'm typing this because it's the result of a long, grueling development process.
This update threw me a bunch of technical curveballs that made me redo things multiple times. All of that even led to an unexpected delay of this particular update.
I always try my best to fulfill the promises I make, and, trust me, I've done everything in my power to release it ASAP.

This update includes around 3100 new images and a ton of new animations.
This is probably the hottest update in the history of the game.
It's jam-packed with frantic action interwoven into the main story.

Since the game is very close to completion at this point, the storylines are starting to intertwine.
As a result, the scenes become longer and more packed with content.
Choices that Monica made way earlier in the story are starting to catch up to her.

This update contains one new ending — film studio.
It is, hands down, the longest single scene in the entire game.
It evolves into something truly insane and explores a huge range of kinks and fetishes prevalent in the content of this type.
Although if some of them are not to your liking, you will have an option to avoid them.

It's difficult to say whether this is a normal or a bad ending.
I guess it all depends on your perspective 😉

What's new:

• Office: the last date with an investor. How successful will it be for Monica, and what new experience will she have to gain from it? (long animated scenes, Extra version content)

• Shiny Hole: Monica is one step away from solving her biggest problems, but she needs help. Where will she seek it? (two animated scenes, Extra version content)

• Film Studio: Monica can sign a contract with the studio and go to a faraway place, forgetting about all of her other problems. Will that be a decision she later regrets, or will she be happy? (a very, very long and content-rich scene with a ton of animations, Extra version content, covering a wide range of fetishes)

I really hope you enjoy the update and appreciate the hard work I've put into making it.
I'm already working on the next update, and it will be one of the last two in the Fashion Business saga.
There are also three more endings planned.
You can still expect more adventures of Monica and other characters, as well as some very spicy content involving them!

Technical note:
The game utilizes version 8.2.0 of the RenPy engine.
Some players use RenPy Launcher to launch the game. If you are one of those players, please make sure that the Launcher version is also 8.2.0. Otherwise, you might experience issues running the game. The best way to launch the game is still to use the original .exe file.

I am also receiving reports of animations not working right from the players who compress the game's assets for more optimal storage space utilization. If you're one of those players, please note that you need to preserve keyframes the way they were placed in the original. Otherwise, it will lead to animations freezing since the game is using an undocumented feature of the engine to improve its functionality (rewinding, changing camera angles, speed, and so on).
The best way to enjoy the game is to play its official version.

As usual, I'll be super happy to hear any feedback from you guys.
I also want to give a huge thanks to everyone who's still supporting the development of such a huge project.
Thanks to you, it's nearing completion and will probably be able to take the title of the biggest and longest game in its genre.

You and I, we're walking this path together, and I'm insanely grateful and happy to have you on board!
Once again, big thanks to all of you!

Enjoy the game!

The release is scheduled for October 27.

We know you've been waiting for this release — and the wait is almost over! 🎉 All stages of development for the new update are now complete. The only thing left is final bug testing. Once that’s done, we’ll be fully ready for the release. So hang in there — it won’t be long now! Stay tuned! 💥
