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

[Mark Loring]

I do enjoy having fun with Misaki, she's a fine enough character, I just wish she was more connected to the rest of the game. Right now she kind of reminds me of Carla and Rebecca from Once In A Lifetime - orbiting the main group, floating around the proximity of the story, but never really touching it. Makes her feel more like a side piece than a main girl. Hopefully that'll be rectified in the future, though as of now I'm not entirely sure what form that could take.

She'll have to come around to the cafe eventually, maybe during her 'personal slut' training or something. I'd love to start seeing her around the cafe more often, seeing how the MC interacts with the other girls, working in the kitchen, all of that. I had the image of her in the kitten's catgirl outfit and now I can't get it out of my head.

I'm going to assume things with her aren't going to go really fast, but she needs to be incorporated into the MC's group, instead of like you said, floating around in the outer orbits. I want to see her reaction to things in and around the cafe.

Yeah, I think the time skip will probably help with that. It's tricky to strike a balance between the slow, peaceful pace of the game and wanting progress out of the slow burn characters. There's ups and downs to the daily progression and sadly Misaki just happens to face more downs than most other characters because of how uninvolved in most of the storylines she is.

Hmmm, storeroom painting King's game night; I still want to know what the hell the Kitten said to Lucy to make her react like that. Knowing Akatsuki, it was something sexual. Maybe wanting to do something to Lucy? I'd love to see that.

I like misaki, the scene where she finally realizes who the MC is is so great. I think a lot of people who dont like her or are indifferent to her will come around when she gets ingratiated with the cafe people.

"the world is flat"

I did too, but it was after my 3rd or 4th full run. The game would've been very different if that choice actually would've started something between them and Lucy was the one left out.

I shudder to think! Probably going to hell just for even saying it. I would stone myself to death if it was possible.

Stone yourself or get stoned after ?

 

[Mark Loring]

Stone yourself or get stoned after ?

Well, since I don't do drugs (or drink, or smoke for that matter,) stone myself. It felt blasphemous even thinking about Rachel in that way

*pat pat* there there, we will bring you back on the right path.

I was never on the wrong one.

My upbringing was stable, and I wasn't around alcohol or drugs. It was never a desire or a need for it. I had video games and interests that kept me more, well, interested. I'm 50 now, and still haven't done anything like that, and it's going to stay that way.

I meant for thinking like that about Roach, lmao.

I think it's just the nature of female characters that are either older, in different positions of authority/status/structure (teacher/professor/headmistress, supervisor/boss, guardian/parental figure, etc.) where they tend to be forced, based on plausible realism I guess, to stay somewhat separate or sidelined from a central plot that involves a core group of the MC with younger female characters the MC's age (and I know Misaki is only four years older) that are the core "adventure party" so to speak of the story. It probably worked best for the story in OIAL for Carla and Rebecca to not be as involved in the core main plot, but at least we know the group lines blurred after the fact anyway. Shame we never got those implied extra scenes, but maybe post-Eternum a decade from now haha.

For this story, I think the timeskip is absolutely where that line will blur for Misaki, probably for Alison even more, and Sarah's Mom (jk), but yeah, you get the idea. Once they're no longer held in a weird limbo state by that student-teacher relationship, she'll probably appear more is my take.

Or maybe FF status will allow MC to say fuck it and she appears a lot moving forward, Cosy could surprise us lol. Sounds like a lot is going to go down at this next FF meeting.

It's official; I love Samantha!

​

I've liked her since I saw her in the update a little ways back, and every time I go through the game I like her more. I've said it before, she's the cutest non-LI in the game (the others are the Phone Shop Girl and the other waitress that works for Takamura, hell, even Chloe).

There's just something about Samantha that hits all the right buttons for me (as Annabelle does). I really do hope we see more of her.

 

[BadmanBaxter]

So we know at some point we will hit a time skip. Any theories on what might happen just before? Do we think the Hannah situation is a long term goal or will we get an agreement with her dad before the time skip? I am not sure and I also don't know how close the skip is

 

[Shortkingunderworld101]

Time skip uni more FF shit marriage with hannah if successful then conflict with russel family grows.

I think MC will have to get at least all his ducks in a row before it happens (meaning all the main girls being official).... potentially dealing with the Hamiltons and Russels too somehow? That could be afterwards though, I recon he is too small a fish for quite a while to make that happen. It will take some time anyway.

I know the skip is after the upcoming update with the Founding Family council meeting at the cafe, but I don't know how many updates it will take after it to bring us to the first skip. I think it was mentioned here somewhere. I could be mistaken.

The skip brings us to Christmas break, but whether or not Hannah's situation is taken care of by then is unknown. I don't see Gilbert giving the MC more time, unless there's some sort of progress, however little, to please him enough to give the MC a bit more leeway. I don't see any marriage thing happening with anyone until he's in college and more financially set, and that's at least another skip or two down the road. I think Cosy said there's three in total.

To an extent I kind of see what you mean, but I also don't think this is a necessity for older characters. There's plenty of examples in many games of older LIs who are deeply involved in the main story, and it's not an exclusive problem to older LIs. To use examples from this game, Allison(who, yes, isn't much older either) is very important to the FF plotline, and tangentially related to the cafe through her deal about Hannah. Meanwhile, Rachel, who is the same age as most of the characters, is also very disconnected from the main plot which stunts her possible character growth since we don't see that much of her. So I don't think the problem for Misaki is necessarily an age one, even if that trend is probably true in the grand scheme of things.
