WIP Grey Swan - Birds of a Rose Rewrite Update 28.01.25

Ngl I felt I knew where this was going early on, and I was right to an extent. I played an MTF bi character who kept being left flustered by Chase but had long term feelings for Astoria. Honestly excited to see how that all turns out. I love the writing.

Edit: I just wanted to add that it’s great to be able to genuinely have a trans character, non-binary is common, but beyond that is typically left more to head cannon than anything explicit. And its very interesting to start at the beginning rather than someone who has fully found themself

Thank you! I hope that you will love what I have in store for this story, as it really branches out!

Thank you! It will be… interesting coding all that because Astoria is the Red Flag RO and Chase will be so worried for MC.

Ah the perks of growing up in a cage and finally experiencing the real word by proxy! I have planned some more stuff for trans routes in the next update, small stuff but its there since this is such a huge aspect for the MC. I dont just want it to feel empty and like it just means one or two throwaway lines here and there (because being serious, this is just how it fells in many CoG/HG games for me…), I want it to feel like it really matters… because it does.

The same goes for aro and ace routes, there will be scenes and dialouges unique to those orientations!

I tried it again and it’s fine. I guess it was problem on my side, sorry.

I am glad to hear that!
Always best when those things just resolve themselves :joy: makes everything easier!

Well this is certainly interesting. Can’t wait for more!

Thank you!
You are in luck because I am just going over the next update, squashing bugs before posting!

Which will be tomorrow, 15.9!

Found a problem. While picking our club, I choose (as I generally do) Heron, but it keeps giving me the options for the Hawks.

Wow I thought this only about weird cult but suddenly it’s more than that. I love it!

At the book store, when picking out the type of books you like, you get stuck in a loop. It gives the dialogue for liking romance as a girl, then as a guy over and over

I got that too, for fantasy. Just got power back (it’s storming here) and wanted to let you know.

Im doing 2 playthroughs, both as mtf trans Swans, but 1 is romantically interested in Chase and the other Beign the very obvious, very explicit red flag RO, cause i apparently hate myself. And the conclusion I’ve derived from both is that im definitely a bottom who’ll fall for anyone that’ll take the initiative.

Well tbh its still mostly about the cult! But I am glad you like it!

I am already aware of that (would have been too nice to not have something like that happen) and I will look at the code since I am already awake! Also, I hope everything is fine, as much as I love storms they can be so dangerous…

What I am trying to do will possibly break the whole comment the previous buys section! So please let me know if that happens, I cant test it today.

Maybe I can interest you in giving E. Falkenflug a chance :slight_smile:

Why did you have to tell me D; now i gotta make 3 playthroughs. I thought he was the typical jerk rival, i didnt knowww.

He was supposed to be that, but he (and Estelle too, female route) took a life on his own and well… pick him at the party and give it a try!

On a different note the shopping code has been possible broken idk. Hope it works but I cant test it, as I need to leave for work.

I know you already know about the bookshop bugs, but posting a screenshot incase it helps in anyway. :slight_smile:
