at the moment if you drop a 4k image in it displays it in 4k through a 1080p window, so basically you only see the top left quarter of the image.

You probably need to use

function in order to pull it off (I'm assuming each image is a full screen render, and you're not using moving sprites).

Usually in the syntax of Frame("foobar.png") and let Ren'Py figure out the specifics.

If you're loading all images automatically (i.e. just drop them in images/ folder and use their filename) then you need to either use

or use a Python loop to go through every image and then calling renpy.image() similar to

.
Something like "for fn in os.listdir("images"): renpy.image(fn.split('.')[0], Frame(fn))" or whatever.

Using Frame() function will work regardless of resolution; if you suddenly decide you need a 720p or 8K version for whatever reason, you can get away with changing the game window resolution, and Frame() will make sure all the images are properly adjusted. And if you keep at 1080p, the function will be happy in doing nothing. Likewise, oversampling will pick the "best fit", so it is also transparent if you use 1080p in the end.

If you're passing GUI arguments as relative values (e.g. "xpos 0.2") then it'll be smooth, but if you're passing GUI arguments as absolute numbers (e.g. "padding 16") then some GUI will look weird if you do that and it won't be a so quick'n'dirty implant as it sounds.

Oversampling is also useful in conjunction with

and

to allow a game to be remade with higher resolution graphics.

Thanks for this. I wish I had known this before. It would have saved a bit of trouble.
I actually had a post deleted by F95 for being "to technical" whatever that means . I am glad I saw this now

I don't have a mac, so I can't offer any real assistance, unfortunately. It has been tested extensively by one of my play-tyesters who does use mac, however, and at this point it's been out for many months without complaints, so I suspect it may be an issue on your end. Sorry I can't be any actual help!

(Just a thought: you did definitely download the mac version?)

definitly the mac version lol, ig I'll try on another update

Funnily enough, I was recently thinking about how this game is by far the most vanilla one I have seen in years. Granted, I tend to go for pretty heavily "fetishy" ones most of the time, but still! The only thing I can think of with Cosy Cafe that's even remotely "kinky" would be the spanking, and hoh boy, if a person finds that kinky... They must be new to the internet, or even sex in general, really!

The slave play? Sure, nobody thinks Vicky's really a slave, but she acts like it.

 

[S1nsational]

You have to remember that that which is not strictly vanilla is kink.
A lot of what happens in the game falls outside of vanilla, some more than others.


The multiple instances of public play with Misaki and that one time with Lucy count as kink.
The entire Slave/Master thing with Victoria is kink.
The catgirl-petplay type stuff with Akatsuki is kink.
The entire sexualized and general punishment/reward system MC has with all the girls is kink.

Depending on how strict you want to be with terms, any of the girls waking MC up with sex or a blowjob is kink, CNC (Consensual Non-consent) specially. That or, you know, rape.

Not all kink is extreme BDSM.

There's literally no player agency in this game at all. All the apparent choices in the game are all railroaded. If you chose the "incorrect" option you're given a bit of internal monologue before MC chooses the "correct" one with more internal monologue.

There's absolutely no need for any kind of walkthrough

First time when I played and saw this dialog I saved my game. That's how hurt I was by other games adding bad endings or some retarded shit in alternative routes. Not like I think branching is bad but very rarely devs do it right. Really laughed at what happened after "sitting with Rachel" and maybe that's when I understood - this is the best game on this site.

 

[AcuteAppleAngle]

Regardless of what you want to call the 'level of kink' this game has, the actual amount is perfect.

It truly feels like a group of young adults exploring and learning what they like. It is believable if not realistic (can a harem game ever be realistic?). They don't just stick to strickly vanilla activities, but at the same time Vicky (for example) doesn't just turn into a Berlin-grade slut after having sex once.

It is excellent writing.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is the only actual "choose A or B" type of question in the game that I can remember from having just played it. The rest of the interactive options all just seemed to end the nsfw scenes a little earlier from what I could tell and there weren't many of those questions even in the later parts. It doesn't really seem like there needs to be these types of "choices" moving forward as everything has just flowed very naturally as the story goes on. The further you get into the game, the better it gets. You can really tell how Cosy is perfecting their craft more and more with each new update.

How regularly does this game update? Is it monthly?

How to say you (the person you replied to) don't know how to read forum tags without saying you don't know how to read forum tags ...

How regularly does this game update? Is it monthly?

The current update frequency is about once in five months (~150 days). That interval has doubled since last year, but the rate at which material is added over time has remained relatively stable.

Oh, then the next update should be close.
