WIP Grey Swan - Birds of a Rose Update 26.04.25 total 200k

Okay for once its real update, but its chaos.

I have started with the tbas (will focus on finishing those first), I have added the ambitious route and coded that in almost everywhere.

Now why did I update a broken mess instead of actually finishing it? Because I am sad and want to feel like I have accomplished at least something.

Added a bit more to some tbas, added the first confrontation while being on two routes where MC is regarded as someones property.

Just posted this one public because of the “error” when rechoosing the volerys.

The next update will have all tbas added and include MCs b-day party and all the possibilities! This will take a while.

You’ve really got me hooked with this story’s premise. It’s been fun playing my Wing as an extremely indoctrinated (mostly) obedient good boy, who can’t help but find Chase kind of charming even as his terrible life decisions draw him constantly towards Red Flags: The Waifu.

Though there seems to be an odd bug with the post party punishment scene as I had Chase drag Droznik to face my MC over what happened twice. Also was somewhat disappointed nothing happened with Astoria, even though she promised no one other than her had permission to harm me, but I guess a heatstroke just isn’t a big enough deal among cultists.

Thanks!

Hm that shouldn’t happen, same with Droznik, will have a look over it. Cause she should totally come and save you like a knight in shining armour on a slightly bad hair day! Edit: made sure the scene triggers, now will look at what happens with Droznik.



I noticed an inconsistency here. Elrond’s birthday is November and MC said that he’s too late to celebrate it together. But when MC told Elrond his birthday is in October, Elrond said that it gives him plenty of time to choose a present for him.

“* sm_init birds-of-a-feather | 10” is visible on the first page.

I don’t understand German, a translation would be nice :slight_smile:

Ups, you are right!

Okay quick poll:
Keep Es b-day after MCs (buy him/her a birthday gift)?

I forgot to switch back on the saves, give me a sec.

I always provide a translation through context or when MC thinks about it afterwards. Unless its just too unimportant. Which parts did you struggle with?

The one on the front page that goes " *Zur Elster sprach der Fuchs…"

I tried to find a translation of this poem but couldnt find any, and I didnt have time to translate that myself as I have no clue how to actually translate poetry.

But yeah its a poem about a fox asking a magpie what the bird is talking about all day, magpie goes “the truth that no one else knows, i am so diligent for bringing out the truth” (however its all total bullshit, which basically tells you all you need to know about the divine flock)

The fox said to the magpie: “Oh! if I may ask, What are you talking about all day long? “You’re talking about special things?”

“I will spread the truth,” she cried. What no one knows how to bring out, I bring out through my hard work.”

-Christian Fürchtegott Gellert, The Fox and the Magpie

This is from Google Translate, does that work?

I am always a bit picky about poetry as most often the art just gets lost in translation :confused: Might just be me though. To me it doesnt sound pretty anymore.
And maybe there is a translation, will have another look through the deep wide web.

Edit: managed to found one russian translation, thats it.

The scene shows up now which is nice, but the following bug keeps happening if I choose to go under her wing (heh).

Hey there if you need help for german translations I speak german fluently. :smiley:

Okay I looked at the line and that is the next part, I think I know where the mistake is, give me a sec. Edit: hope its working now!

Was für ein Zufall ich auch. Bin Muttersprachler, aber danke für das Angebot! Außer du kannst das Gedicht am Anfang übersetzen, dann gerne :joy:

Anyone know how can i meet that Sebastian guy?

He will show up in the next update in the Thalringen routes and one other route as well! He also makes an appareance during Astorias lore dump.

Ah cool. Dacht ich mir schon aber war nicht zu 100% sicher. Meinst du das Gedicht ganz am Anfang von deiner Demo? Das mit der Elster?

Ich wünschte es gäb so ne Art Sticker “Non American Writer” lol
Jep, ich hab schon versucht ne übersetzung zu finden aber nope, es gibt eine russische. :sweat_smile: Könnte es wahrscheinlich selber übersetzen aber gerade was Gedichte angeht bin ich da sehr unsicher.

Haha ja das geht mir genauso. Viel geht in Übersetzungen verloren. Bis auf stumpfes übersetzen werd ich auch nichts anderes können. :sweat_smile:
