Sorry, didn't realise I put this on an earlier update... lol

Chris Blaylock

UGGHH.... I know we still have a few weeks left, BUT I am getting soooo impatient. Not telling CC to rush at all. Just chomping at the bit for the next update. This story is top 2 for me. It's right there with Eternum. The girls' facial expressions and body language are so amazing, I just don't get how you are so good at this.

Cosy Creator

Make another, hopefully even better one. I've learned a tonne doing Cosy Cafe, so while at the moment and for the foreseeable future all of my efforts are going to be devoted to CC, I've got a mountain of other story ideas I've been saving up in the back of my mind, one of which will eventually become my next project.

Nick Christie

I got a question: When Cozy Cafe is finished, what will you do then? Just curious.

Garagara

Same for me, can't help but be intensely invesvested in this masterpiece and I keep finding it better on every replay... What a game, and even experience I'd say (maybe some people might say experience is too much of a word... but it truly feels like it to me)

Rob

Alas, it's my curse/blessing. I'm not especially creative in the sense of having the initial spark (I probably couldn't write my own AVN from scratch for example, much as I like the idea), but I do have a knack for finding new angles and tweaks (some good, some not so much...). Apologies in advance if I ever seem to be critical, wise after the event, or whatever...I really do like the way you handle this story and consider it one of the very best AVNs out there.

Frostbit

My man, you just summed up my entire experience with this game. I cannot express how much enjoyment Cosy Cafe brings me.

Cosy Creator

Yeah, it's a bit buggy at the moment. I'm planning on putting out a fixed version some time before Christmas.

Cosy Creator

Part two just directly continues from part one. But if you've already played part one you don't need it anymore, you can just play the new content on part two.

Cosy Creator

Haha, that would have been a great idea actually, it just never occurred to me.

Aurik

I'm on Android, should I download both parts or finish part 1 and then download part 2?

Vrati

the photo in the gallery is not working even after I restart the game from the beginning.

Rob

Just replayed it, and one horribly out of character event stood out. At the end of the 'kings game' sequence, when the MC has to identify the girls, Victoria only needed to kiss the MC for ~10 seconds more to prevent him saying who she was and thus being 'penalised' with a spanking. And she missed that opportunity! Really? Vicky proposes a game with a spanking option, and then misses an easy chance to get spanked? Unthinkable! (Yes, I'm being deliberately over the top here).

Spawn of Apathy

Alright. well I finished a complete replay-through and through the new content. It's so wonderful. I don't even know if I can remember another AVN where I felt myself just passively smiling from amusement. The soundtrack really does give the whole game a very cosy feel, like I was going through it with a warm blanket wrapped around me. I feel like the writing overall but mainly of the characters and their interactions with each other just ruin other AVNs for me now. A major reason the game makes me smile so much. I even like the MC, which is so very, very rare for me. He's wise enough and mature enough to pass a functioning adult, which often feels rare in AVNs. He's also empathetic and kind. Not just kind enough to selfishly sate his primal urges, but genuinely kind. I've loved seeing Lucy grow more confident and Vicky become protective of the family. I just loved Vicky staring down people at school the morning after the Hamilton party, like if they don't stop staring she will break them lol. But I just love Lucy and Vicky together as the Queen mums of the family. I'm so glad this recently got recommended to me. I hope you enjoy a break and I can't wait for the next update. Selfishly I hope it doesn't take too long.

StefanHill

Yes, we do. The workload creating all the assets yourself is insane.

Zane

Finally, I can play this new update, really excited for this one, hope there's some Hannah content 🤞. Thanks, Cosy!

Cosy Creator

Hey, happy to hear you;re enjoying the story!. Yeah the photo gallery is seriously buggy right now. I plan on putting out a fixed version some time in the next week. And yes, the age on Annabelle is completely wrong - hers and Mr Hamilton's got swapped around by accident.

Jacky

We are respecting your hard job and say thank for your self made assets Cozy

Jacky

You said my feeling so similar then yours: "I cry and laugh and fall in love with the characters you present in this tale. "

Jacky

Generally I am very happy with the story how they go on. The Misaki story moving from the public transport harassing (I don't like it generally) to teacher-student (also taboo). My favorite parts: Akatsuki shower, Catherine-Hannah "training/taming" and the card game events. Catherine very nice/hot with those lingerie (looks like really a "princess without kingdom" 12/10, more hot than Vicky if you ask me meanwhile she is also hot character). Interestingly the black screen parts (MC eyes closed) which is easy job from rendering point of view. At the beginning I start afraid about will be boring for us. But surprisingly that was not a boring part, I am still waiting what is will be happened under/after that (You very nicely handled to keep interest high). The new GUI/BIOS/Gallery awesome, increase the game quality globally. At now not just the inside but looks like the outside is step up to well-deserved level. I am looking for (in future releases): - Sarah permanent residence in the Restaurant (how her father handle those) - Alison love path/cooperation how continues. Also is it possible to reach pace with their father by MC? - Hanna and Catherine two different way both definitely parallel taming actions - What a hell will be happening with Rachel? Which is the full opposite a the moment then any possible love relationship then any main character at the moment. - Also Elizabeth and Akari future progress. - How MC and girls able to handle the Founding Family meeting at next Monday "alone" aka without any external help (should MC have enough money for that)? - And finally I am afraid of Brian conflict --- Little bug info: Side Character Annabelle Age:55. Not a girl age, I expected less then 25. I just see Misaki 22 so I expect Annabelle younger the Misaki. If we talking about age I expected Elizabeth and Alison in close range not 7 years difference as now. From main characters I expected Misaki the oldest (my fault). Photos section just empty for me? I expected the all the pictures here what is made by MC under the story. Enjoy the Christmas relax and still provide us this interesting VN future updates Cosy.

IbeGenedammit!

Looking forward to more Annabelle, she's a cutie!

Cosy Creator

Thanks so much, it's awesome to hear that you're still enjoying it after all this time!

Josh Rarden

Thank you for making this VN. I started playing a few updates ago and I'm replaying now to get to the newest content. I cry and laugh and fall in love with the characters you present in this tale. You make each girl feel unique and special. You also set really good examples of communication and consent while show that things can still be very very kinky. I love Cosy Cafe and can not wait to see the finished product someday. I think it will rival the AAA and big budget entertainment industry in how good the writing and story telling is. Again thank you.

StefanHill

Thanks for your answer. I didn't know Honey Select 2. I think the same about premade scenes. Most of the times they just don't fit the style you are looking for. But allways use items or part of premade scenes that you can use. It saves so much time for single developers. It is impossible to do everything from scratch. I know that there are a lot of people saying otherwise. But they are just wrong. Btw I discovered how Lucy got into the building before. The backdoor doesn't have a lock. But of course nobody looks for details like that.

IbeGenedammit!

Forgot to mention that my previous saves all worked fine. With the addition of 3 save boxes per page, my saves were all on the top 2 rows of each page, with 3 blank on the bottom, but the saves all worked.

IbeGenedammit!

I remember posting some time ago, around 0.4 or 0.5, about setting such a high bar for expectations. Since then, expectations have been met or exceeded and still my favorite vn. This update has a lot happening for a single game day, I'm looking forward to replaying several times to discovering all the nuances that you prepare for us. I've played from story beginning about a dozen times, and find as fun as the first time every time. A huge thank you for sharing your creativity with us! As to this last update, all I can say is it's great. Again. The scene with the MC, Catherine and Hannah was hilarious! As to the UI redo, also great! Thank you so much for the text letter outlines, it improved my reading experience 100%!! So, until the next time, THANKS for all your hard work Cosy! Can't wait......

Garagara

Finished the update twice, once on its own and another from a fresh start. I can really see the work improve in quality as it goes, and the characters feel as natural as natural can be, and all with great pacing. The shot composition is fantastic and really puts value to the expressions, which you minutely change often and naturally. Music choice is great and I've taken time to listen to them all seperately for either scene or character and they all fit amazingly well, for some characters to an uncanny degree. You really show the benefits of the saying "it's all the little things that count" ...Now, none of this is new of course, but I just felt like yapping about how incredible this all is ^^ Take a very well desirved break, and I'll be here when you're ready to go! Thanks again Cosy

wowheh

really enjoyed the new update, the new UI looks great :)

Cosy Creator

Yeah, I really liked that scene too! And yeah, the photo gallery is scuffed at the moment - I'm gonna put up a fixed version next weekend.

Max

It was a great update. It's mandatory by law that every update requires me to start from the very beginning again. I feel like every update is better than the one before it. Personally, without spoiling, I loved the scene with one redhead and one blonde one. It hit me right in the feels. Also the UI was really nice, but I wasn't able to open any photos. Gave me only errors.

Cosy Creator

Thanks! I use Honey Select 2, but I make most of the maps myself - so the subway train is a premade asset, but the station is custom. Same with Sarah's house; the back entrance and a few of the downstairs corridors are premade, but all of the major rooms and upstairs corridors I made myself, so you won't find them anywhere.

StefanHill

Great Update. Let me get some minor errors out of the way. I saw two typos. Agin instead of again and heve instead of have. In Alison's bio you do not list Harriet as a sister. I would add Mira to Sarah's Bio. There were at least a few scenes between them. Brian's bio is the only one where you wrote Gloria Russel. You use Mr and Mrs everywhere else. There is no bio of the stalker. Enough whining for today. The new UI ist beautiful. I also really like the darker shadows in the dialog box. Makes reading easier. The clothing in this update is a step forward. Most of the time the cloths are fairly plain. Some are a bit more stylish. Like in the screenshot of Dev Log 43. Until now Sarah was sticking out. If I may ask. Which software do you use? I saw Akatsuki's Kitty night costume in the DAZ store. So I guess you are doing at least some of your character creation with DAZ. The subway and Sarah's house are also used in Eternum. But I haven't found the original models yet. Which 3D Engine do you use?

Puttanegra Ficondo

Got it! Thanks! You should make this more prominent in the release notes.

Pax

I just have to say - Great update! From Miss Takamura to a certain spanking event and what follows - all well done! The spanking event and aftermath was especially good - and very true to the behavior of the women involved. I am already looking forward to your first dev log and thoughts on the next release - whether it will be a one day or two day rev among the reveals. Great job with the UI as well - the colors really Pop.

Ellis Alden

This is THE Best game I've played.Great story with characters I really like plus a Proper size update and not a Season X Pt9-step 6-stage blah!. Enjoy your break - Boy,you have earned it.

John Von Batman

Fantastic job! Really enjoy the new UI! I already can't wait for the next update! I love this game and these girls!

Cosy Creator

Yes, but if you start again there's an option to skip right to the new content, so you shouldn't really lose anything.

Rob

Yeah....I can see the issue though. I worry about the storyline getting bloated and how that would slow things down, so I can respect the need to exclude some girls, however much we might want otherwise ( I'd even be tempted to trim some existing girls, but I'm sure others would fight me on that! ). As you said though, it mainly comes down to ensuring that all the girls add something new and different to the mix...We might all like Vicky, for example, but having 4 girls that are all largely the same as her wouldn't be worth the effort. On the topic of Vicky...it's worth noting that Rachel was also on the list of 'main' girls...So we may well be getting Vicky's dream of having MC 'break' her..

Puttanegra Ficondo

Is it expected to crash on any save from 0.10? Do I really need to start from scratch?

Gethsah

I love Annabelle as well. Its still my biggest sadness in the game that she is not a main girl. She seems so different from the others in personality and looks that I think she would fit in well.

R'ja Norr

Good update. I have always liked the fact that your updates cover full days, makes the end point less....jarring LOL. Side note: new UI is looking good.

Dracconius

thanks so much for the new update, was an enjoyable couple of days and was nice to see our resident fighters getting a bit of just punishment

Akaron

Just an FYI, got to afterword and restarted games but still no scenes from this release in the replay gallery. Android version for clarification. Other than that, great update, love your writing and the character dynamics are top-notch.

Nick Christie

Thanks. Also, can't wait to see the protagonist giving Alison and Miyuki (sorry if I butchered the teacher's first name) get proper spankings that leaves them satisfied and with red asses :) lol

Cosy Creator

The galleries all unlock at the afterword screen when you get to the end of the current content. However there is a bug with the new photo gallery that requires you to restart the game before it will display. It should be fixed in the next few days.

Nick Christie

It said that if you start at the start of the new update, it unlocks all of the gallery you have for now. Is that true because I went through the update and I didn't get to see the gallery? Just want confirmation on that.

Cosy Creator

It's not a patch, just download it and run it and you should be away. Just make sure to start a new game though (you can skip to the new content when you do), as old saves won;t work this time!

Dracconius

i know its probably a stupid question but have never done it, how to i add whatever is new to the game folder ?

Dracconius

just now getting ready to install and play. cant wait. i am very excited

Cosy Creator

Thanks! Yeah, looks like I got those two ages swapped around. As for Annabelle, she's going to have a significant role in the story, and will have some action with the MC, she just won't be a core harem member. It will all make sense in time.

Rob

(very) minor bug (probably more of a typo...but hey, I'm a bit OCD) In the character bios, it has Annabelle as being 55 years old. She seems very well preserved for her age! A little sad to see her relegated to side-chick status, but Elizabeth making the main cast gives me room for hope. Another unlikely age is Mr Hamilton being 20.

RMZ

Amazing update as always Cosy! So good that it felt like it was over after 10 minutes 😫

Lord Tony H

The new user interface is brilliant I have no problems with it although it won’t load any saves from the previous version, but that doesn’t bother me, I guess I’ll have to replay it again lol. It’s good to see new faces on here and the comments and commitment from them is absolutely astounding, one thing I would like to see is Hannah & Lucy with Akatsuki all being pregnant at the same time, anyway CC enjoy your Christmas and I look forward to the next update.

mrblade787

thanks for the update cosy...enjoy your well deserved time off.

Steelmaker

Fair enough 👍. I might still wait for the full update tho 🤔

Cosy Creator

Thanks! Have fun!

Weeb_alt

Time to replay the game, now that I am *FORCED* to. ;). Thank you for the update! Enjoy your holiday, hope you get some good time away from the dev cycle.

Lord Tony H

Way to go CC this is amazing work as always and I spotted a spelling mistake, Wednesday evening Sarah mention the make up when she says wait till you see they heve make up on, and you spelt fine with 3 (i's) unless you meant it to be a sort of dragged out version of fine?

Cosy Creator

There are no relevant choices, so you won't lose anything. And all of your gallery progress will unlock again when you get to the afterword.

Steelmaker

Does that option to skip to the new content also ask you the relevant choices again? I would hate to loose my path... (Might wanna replay at some point honestly not right now 😅) If something like that isn't added yet will there be something like that when we get the full release?

Fake Display Name

Another solid update. Well done.

Cosy Creator

Yeah, it's mostly just code compatibility between some of the new UI and the rest of the game. Basically the syntax changed slightly and I needed it all to be unified.

BipedClub60084

I'm also having the same problem. Also, the menu won't load in.

Spawn of Apathy

Saves don't work? Well I was looking for a reason to replay from the beginning.

HiP

instant sub once I got the email notification :) does the new renpy version provide anything substantial enough to justify breaking saves ? maybe for the new UI ?

Pax

Cosy - thanks for the update and please enjoy some well-earned time of at the holidays!!

Cosy Creator

Nope, unfortunately the renpy update messes with them. If you start a new game it will give you the option to skip right to the new content.

TDS

Doesn't like old savegames?

Thomas Falkenberg

Thank you for the early Christmas present!

Garagara

So excited to play through it all! Amazing work as always Cosy!

John Burnett

Awesome. Good to know. Merry xmas!

Cosy Creator

Jan 18th. I usually do it around 1 month later on a Saturday.

Matt Pulliam

lets freaking gooooo!

TDS

Since you're heading off for a holiday break: Merry Xmas!

Arnaud Deloménie

hexlat

Awesome, enjoy the holidays!

Jimskeleton

That's my night sorted, thanks Cosy.

John Burnett

Out of curiosity, when will you post the update to itch?

Caladar Felagund

Perfect ! I just finished my 4 replay and still loved it as much. Just one thing though that occurred to me during replay : why would his grandfather not tell him of the founding families but still give him the restaurant ? Seems that it’s not a good idea with what happened previously but maybe you will explain it later ;) Thanks for your hard work ;)
