VN Ren'Py Cosy Cafe [v0.13 EA] [Cosy Creator]

[lonzee]

this is the first outing of the improved graphics/animation

Is it all of the animations or only the animations from version 0.13?
If it’s all of them, I want to play it again.

I got constant crashes, but fixed them by first deleting the saves from appdata/roaming/renpy/cosy, and then also deleting the saves from the game directory itself, which had inherited the older saves from the system area

what i'm saying it it is absurd that the dev puts out a 10gb version absolutely no need for it.
Dozens of games that are way more complex and better looking than this one that are half that.
This is a KN with HS graphics, it's ridiculous.

The only ridiculous thing here is your reasoning. As correctly presumed by Bob69, Cosy does optimize their assets, though they do favour quality over size. Also, despite allegedly lacking complexity, the game does feature 17.ooo renders and 4oo video files. Comparing that to, say, the second season of the title advertised by JJ1960's profile picture (Great taste, by the way – both game and lady. ), the latter delivers less than half of either assets class while still weighing in at 7.1 GiB compared to this one's 9.4

Also, Cosy, thank you for Annabelle, she's a real gem; I almost squealed in delight at her request. D'aaw!

so, i downloaded already but i just wanna know, does the "final" version will be too much different from the this "EA"?
Reason is that path of exile new league just started and im blasting here lol , im downloading a bunch of vn to play later when i burnout from this league .
The reason im asking is more because if will be different ( like have more choices , more important stuffs like that ) i will play this EA version but not save it at the end of it , so when the public ( final ) version is out, i dont have a problem with my saves and have to start all again.
Well anyway if somebody does know about it, please let me know you can even send me a dm here i will check later
Thank you and see you. Peace

The public version of 0.13 will have fixed typos, and if any persistent bugs are causing troubles in EA, hopefully those will be fixed there as well. content wise, it should be about the same.

It's a Kinetic Novel, man, choices don't matter and saves don't matter. IIRC there are just bug//spelling fixes between versions and most of the bugs are related to the UI and not critical in any way..

I can't help but think that scene could be expanded on to different branches depending on who got top 3 by allowing the reader to chose instead of having the choice already pre-made. I am curious about Annabelle's story especially given her stumbling fawn demeanour but I'm also curious about what the others would have asked for if they had won.

An update only download?! Oh Cosy Creator, I knew you cared enough to actually listen, you beautiful bastard!

...For real though, I for one truly appreciate the extra effort of releasing the update as a patch!

understandable choice to keep the novel accessible to as many people as possible.
but i sure do love those minutes saved by only downloading the new content.

People asking for a rewrite of the earlier parts of the game "if it is financially reasonable" when the game is leaked within hours of being first released to patreon members...

There's also the fact that when the rewrites start they usually don't stop and the game get stuck or worse. I actually facepalmed irl when I read that comment suggesting rewriting the earlier parts.

Great update! Love seeing Annabelle moved to Main cast. Many great scenes with many of the girls. Founding family shit continues to be annoying but at least it's secondary to the harem and cafe content. Very happy to have Catherine and Hannah be a forced mutual pair to join the harem, 100% the best way to resolve their competitive bullshit. now they have to learn to work together. Only disappointment with this update is that it ended, and the long wait begins again...

 

[maxthruster]

Fwiw the person suggesting reworks did specify after the game was completed this time around. Still not super feasible without a huge overhaul but more reasonable than demanding it now.

Also there is no need. There is plenty of time to revisit those topics for Lucy, Victoria and Akatsuki in future updates.

Trying to perfect an almost perfect game... endless updates without new content. Plx no.

Yeah, i can understand wanting to go back and touch things up but unless it's outright bad, which it isn't, don't let perfection be the enemy of good, the start of the game is fine, i replayed it recently and it really just doesn't need anything more added to it... infinitely better to put any effort into new content, going back is only helpful for new players and like i said, it's only necessary if the dev has come so far that the start is garbage in comparison, which again, is not the case with Cosy, it's more than adequate, quite good in-fact.

Cosy already said that's in his wishlist the rework of older renders who don't fit anymore with the game improvements. But he chose to focus over the updates and new content first, so if that rework will happen it will be when the game will be almost finished (so >5 years from now in my opinion). At that point I foresee also a complete remake as standalone game to sell in online stores
Food for thought

Well, that or if there are any major plot holes. Which doesn't seem to be the case, on replay it becomes quite apparent just how meticulously most details were planned out. A remaster one day might be cool, depending on how the quality of scenes is by the end and whether any scenes or characters warrant expanding on, but as of right now it's fine as is.

if i remember correctly not just the renders though, cosy felt the early setup in regards to vicky & lucy off story narrative might see some rework as well,to give to them more depth and "feel" less rushed ,or i might've misunderstood and its mainly for future content.
