My only real question from this update is - who is gonna be the new waitress? Like, I think there is just Rachel as an option... but I really don't like the idea. Not because I hate Rachel, but because she needs a couple of updates more to develop, imo. Besides that, all of the character moments, barring maybe Misaki were very important and meaningfull and if you don't understand where catherine is comming from after this update.... your IQ is probably equal to the room temperature.

If we're looking at it just being the from the 11 listed main girls then there is only Rachel and Elizabeth as the main options, due to both Misaki and Allison already working at the school and Akari working at her fathers restaurant. I honestly doubt Elizabeth would get her hands dirty in that sense though considering her upbringing which would then just leave Rachel. In all honesty, I'd rather see Annabelle joined the fray. Even though her first two interactions with the MC were awkward, she's left me with the impression that she is the most accident prone and would need some special attention from the MC to help her.

well at least you give us an option to play from last update
thanks a lot

Actually - if you check, you can play from any update (of the last 12). You just have to select the bottom option. So having a specific save on a specific scene is all you are missing, you get get to almost any day, quickly.

Question here (I did try the search function, yes):
Is it feasible to download an earlier compressed version, then apply a full size patch to it and go forward like that?
I did initiate those downloads anyways, so I suppose it's a bit late to ask, just curious.
Mostly because common download limits are 6GB and this looked visually appealing and high rated, so for a first glimple this sounded like a servicable solution. After all, if I start a download that'll finish tomorrow, it'll sit in the pile with maybe another 50+ GB of finished downloads that I never use because I've forgotten about them <.<
Still, looking forward to check this out.

Technically - yes. Though testing was not done on those downloads from here to verify. Most compressors just compress the video/picture files, and do nothing to the script. If that is the case, then no issues (just the pictures are more lossy, thats all) and it will play fine.

weird bug with interface thou. if you press mute all, then press it again - it doesn't always unmute the game as it should. sometimes you need to press it few times and because of that somehow text size setting turns to "small" being in totally different submenu. so yes.. bizarre things! please, don't broke my saves anymore

Thats .. errr .. odd. We testers are looking into it.

IMO - a Great rev and I'm looking forward to the next rev (if it is a two-day rev, it will also include an Alison date, which is something I am very much looking forward to).

Cheers!!

The next release will be a 2 day release. It will cover Saturday and Sunday, thus yes, include Alison date.

Personally .. I don't think it will be Elizabeth. Not that she is opposed to it, just she isn't that integral in the story yet. I think the MC will make due with the 6 girls he has in his current orbit (Lucy, Sarah, Vicky, Akatsuki, Hannah, and Catherine). Though having Elizabeth would be good for symmetry. Don't think Rachel as she will not be around much (after Friday's events, and barred from the Cafe). Thus the only other choice might be Akari. Doubtful, but yeah, only one I can see. Annabelle is sorta a no show either.

yeah, I am sure you are right, but we have had two mentions at this point of getting another waitress, and I have simply no other thoughts on who it could be. It doesn't fit Elizabeth's character, maybe unless it would piss her mom off? Annabelle, as much as she is a thread favourite, probably doesn't have the chops to be a waitress at all, let alone in the next few days, she just doesnt know everyone well enough yet. Rachel maybe in the far future, but not right now.

Others? no one else really has enough motivation or significance in the story for it to make sense, maybe Chloe will jump ship and pledge undying loyalty to team fletcher? wishful thinking haha

I'm making this comment just to repeat what everyone has already said: this update was just fantastic and the only bad thing about it is that at some point we reach the end and have to wait for the next one.

That one scene was really emotional. I was holding back tears. I did not expect that at all! It really takes talent and hard work to write something like that so sensibly. Kudos to Cosy Creator!

 

[IamUnderman]

God I wish the expressions in this game weren't so bad. I get taken out of every scene so badly because every single girl has the same expression on for the entire game. Like talking to manekins.

 

[Mommysbuttslut]

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if it's Rachel. I think she's gonna get desperate and MC isn't gonna have a lot of options for who else to bring in. Plus she's already entirely privy to what goes on in MC's harem so it's not like anyone needs to have an awkward conversation with any outsiders. Not that MC trusts her but it's the best way for MC to keep an eye on her and it's also the best way to redeem her character at this point. After her last scene it wouldn't be weird for her to never appear again otherwise but that's obviously not gonna happen.
I don't see it being Elizabeth yet. She's way too early. Allison would be the best choice in terms of competency but ain't no way in hell that would happen. Akari wouldn't be a waitress even if she joined MC's cafe. All that's left at this point is side characters and the biggest problem MC has with hiring someone new is he doesn't want outsiders who aren't privy to him and his harem's lifestyle.

Funny - as I am the opposite. I see the subtle head tilts, facial expressions as being excellent at showing emotion. To each their own.

I like spanking scenes generally but not a single one in this game did anything for me because every single time the girl started out vaguely sad and demure looking, they continued to look vaguely sad and demure while being spanked and once the spanking was over they became slightly sad and demure. Like where is the anger? The joy? The fear? The excitement? The disgust? Robs ever scene of its power for me.

But to each their own.

 

[Rogue Reaper]

Maybe it'll be Mika (iirc is her name)? Of course she's another one the MC and girls can't really trust, but maybe the Russell kid puts her up to it to try and ruin MC and she somehow is convincing enough for MC to hire her.

Either way, what's confusing (for me anyway) with the conversations going on.. Why is Elizabeth in the Main girls? If she's not actually a main.

well its natural that you'd want the private relationship stuff to stay private,the fact he has a harem lifestyle isn't the issue IMO, i think its more about Family founding stuff and the need for discretion around that stuff.

after all hes doing pretty forward stuff, any cafeteria scene gives me the idea that the MC isn't shy about letting other people know about him being in a relationship with more then one women.

as for the who would be the next waitress... it could be anyone's guess atm. Rachel, or Cathrine with rachel replacing her, Samantha (Akira's friend) , Sarah could put in more hours, although unlikely Elizabeth is a possibility.
perhaps we'll get a new character who just wouldn't be a LI.
i highly doubt its Annabelle though she's way to clumsy

 

[rogokin]

Man, too bad Annabelle isn't one of the main girls she is one of the hottest women in the game!

 

[herrderr75]

So one of the girls we're trying to fuck apparently has an "older sister" who is "twelve or thirteen." Cosy Creator I'm guessing English is not your primary language. If Ella is Catherine's "older sister," that implies to English speakers that Catherine is younger than "twelve or thirteen." You might want to change that wording. You can call Ella "the older of the sisters" without implying that Ella is older than Catherine.

EDIT: Because somebody deleted clarifying posts, I'll just say:

1) It seems you may be British while I'm American, and "older sister" may have different connotations in different places.

2) The minor concern here is that dumb or immoral government agents could twist your meaning, which could affect downloaders.

Could you please reply with the exact line you are talking about? Catherine is the oldest. Ella is the middle daughter, and is older than Ivy (thus the older sister of Catherine's two half-sisters). BTW - yes Cosy is English.

Absolutely love this game but if there is one tiny thing that bugs me to no end, it's this:

Meanwhile, that's what elbows, and knees, are like. They have that extra, loose skin so it doesn't rip when you curl your arms or legs. But fuck evolution, eh.

I just realized I always like non-mainstream girl. I'm hoping Rachel gets her arc in the next update. She's my favorite and I don't even know why?

I'm looking forward to her "corruption" scenes with the MC

 

[funzzzone]

Didn't realize how much I have missed that frying sound.

I doubt she'll show up during the weekend, but then again maybe...? So far to she seems like the likely candidate to be the new waitress. I also imagine at some point given how much he complains about paperwork, someone is going to start doing that for him. Lucy and Victoria are both really smart. Could also be Misaki, maybe. Definitely not Rachel though. She failed at maths.

 

[Cosy Creator]

great update! I just hope you'll be able to return to 2-3 month schedule totally liked new things and dynamics. look forward to new developments between characters. thou, as far as I know, the last update in this timelapce will be the day of counsil meeting? to many thing still need to be solved to that time, imo. but I'm somehow sure that you will deliver, Cosy!

weird bug with interface thou. if you press mute all, then press it again - it doesn't always unmute the game as it should. sometimes you need to press it few times and because of that somehow text size setting turns to "small" being in totally different submenu. so yes.. bizarre things! please, don't broke my saves anymore

Thanks, I'll look into the mute all button. And no, the time skip won't be immediately after the council, there will be one or two more updates after that getting various things in order. The council is just the last major event that has to happen before the time skip.
