VN Ren'Py Cosy Cafe [v0.13.1 Public] [Cosy Creator]

[hameleona]

I like her but I just wish to see her, if not rebelling, at the very least protesting her situation (not just in the privacy of Cafe). Unless I misremember, her family doesn't owe anything to Brian's other than promising a bride. So she doesn't have to play the obedient housewife she's been playing (to Brian). I understand that she feels responsible for her father's decision, but you know, there's a lot in between being %100 obedient and rebelling like her sister.

Her marriage is the guarantee of the alliance between the families. Hannah won't abandon what she sees as her capital "D" Duty, no matter how miserable that duty makes her. And since the MC's involvement she has broken what would be considered "proper decorum" by those rules. Not in an outrageous manner, but she is showing herself being uncomfortable with Brain's bullshit and that's not really allowed of a noble's wife or fiance. It's pretty clear the families work on essentially old Victorian rules of behavior in public (for another example, see how Cath easily humiliated her mom by invoking said rules).
Honestly, Cosy has encapsulated those surprisingly true to form. You can almost imagine the old matron waving her fan and saying something like "A proper lady... yada-yada".

So, yeah, I don't see her doing anything noticeable for someone unfamiliar with those rules, until her Duty is changed. After that... let's just say I would not wanna be in Brain's shoes - another part of said rules was to be ruthless to those who oppose you, so he is gonna get Catherine'd... by Hannah. And that's gonna be marvelous.

Overall I am mightily impressed of Cosy's grasp on the social rules of nobles. Yes, it's a bit of a "proper decorum - light", but it's a wholesome visual novel, not a historical tract.

Agree that Cozy has grasped a LOT of aspects of aristocratic family behavior.
Note also that the OFFICIAL social/political system in the game does NOT appear to be aristocratic, which would explain many of the differences.
Overall Cozy has done a great job world building.
Edit to add: remember Henry VIII literally married a girl younger than one of his daughters at one point. Announcing the engagement of a pre-teen (with the expectation that the wedding would be years away) was fairly common until quite recently.

judging their characters and qualities, who would you send to marry spoiled ass Brain?

Are there any cannibals in the FFs?

Lucy's mom

She also might be playing the "meek and mild" girl as to not ruin the engagement, and become more independent when she is married, as what can Brian do to her at that point?

Does anybody know about saves? I got bunch saves from verions since v.0.7, that didn't work on v0.12 and doesn't work now on v.013. Should I just delete them and make new saves on current verion or will they be fixed in future? Or is there a chance that saves from current version will not work on furure version too?

You don't need saves. When you start a new game you can choose where to start from update wise including the newest update. It unlocks all the gallery to that point and as it's a kinetic novel there are no branching paths to be concerned with.

Does that make sense?

The UI changes caused old saves to become undependable (may/may not work).

Cosy allows you to play from the current release or you could restart if you want to be able to access older portions of the AVN via saves.

If memory serves - I had no issues with my rev 11 saves, but much older saves were a no go.

I'm doing a full restart to rebuild my 'save' library (and I get to enjoy the journey again so win win)!

Cheers!!

I play form v0.7, so I know that, but I save some moments I want to return to and they are not sex or lewd scenes so gallery doesn't have them.

It even tells you as the game is loading up that old saves won't work and could cause problems. Not that hard to understand!

I'm too thinking of rebuilding my saves, since it can be done in like 15 minutes.

Thanks!

Then restarting from a previous update or the begining before those scenes is the only option I'm afraid.

I assume the mods added them to fit with the official definitions.

I had to like lady Eleanor. She seems pretty nice and smart woman and Lily's demeanor towards her was sayin as much.
But this two a little contradictions in statements makes me worried.

So does Eleanor just pass her husband words blindly, she just strait up lying to MC or Eli is underinformed and not so reliable..
I'm not sure. I hope it was all mr. Hamilton's work, so I would be not disappointed in FF women more

 

[goontuber]

I've actually felt bad for both Lucy & Vicky the last few updates since Catherine and Sarah have gotten the bulk of the MC's sleepover time (and Kitten practically got a whole night and next morning just for her).

Lucy & Vicky both got a little scene this last update but they're going to be all over the next update with the double double dates and whatever happens at the FF council meeting.

Looking forward to the next update because of the next two in game days. I'm guessing Lucy & Vicky will get the bulk of the time outside of the FF council meeting which makes me happy. Hopefully the Sarah stans have grace and realize that much of the beginning story focuses on her before focusing on other girls getting time in future updates.

Yeah Sarah has been 'blitzkrieg'd' in a sense to get her into the harem and become a girlfriend over the last few updates. Now she needs to step into the background a little bit and allow Lucy and Vicky to shine. The kitten too, in fact, as she's also gotten a decent amount of screen time.

Very much looking forward to the next update. I know we have at least 5-6 months to go, but it'll be worth it.

more likely Elizabeth not being privy to the info.
the hammiltions probably predicted her moves and were ready to thwart them before it got further.
