WIP Grey Swan - Birds of a Rose Update 29.05.25 total 220k

Okay I see there is someone more cruel than me haha! (you ever thought about writing an IF? I swear it will only fry your brain a little)
No, that is up to the player alone.
But thats the reason as to why he reacts so “drastic” at the rejection.

Ah, I see now.
No the “vamps want to see mc dead” has nothing to do with those choices!

Lol actually I write, and im incredibly sadistic to my favorite characters. My current work is a grimdark however i suck at programming im dumb so i stick to just writing.

New head canon unlocked, Droz forced mc to take the punishmentas a punishment for an earlier rejection involving the song

I learned to code when I started writing this game and as you can see I still suck at it :joy: and i am dumb too tbh, so whats stopping you? Its free, you dont have to show anyone!

Sadly this wouldnt work, but nice headcanon!

Lol nothing is true, everything is promitted. Also if it cant happen its only cause you aint trying hard enough.

I already have a ton of variations, probably too many tbh, anything more would overwhelm me.
Guess you need to write it yourself? :wink:

Lol i dont write fanfiction, but maybe sometime when i find my self bored at uni ill mess around and see what comes from red flag Droz :rofl:

WOW lmfao clearly i need to start making a lot different choices in my games cause holy moly. Astoria damn you, stop making me want to pick the same options with you. Look at what I am missing.

No but for real, I genuinely had no idea about some of the stuff in spoilers and now I am in awe for both how much replayability there is and how much Ive missed already lmao.

Edit: I reloaded a save and noticed I didnt have Astoria intervening on my behalf after the party this time (was a save with the owls and every options to choose her I did) and she seemed less “affectionate” at the party itself too?

Thats a bit I worry about tbh, that people do not know what can be done and miss stuff they would have liked playing.

Yeah the Owls (and Eagles) are not written in those parts yet.

That was kind of the issue that Unsupervised had recently. It had a lot of content, but due to that content being in different, exclusive paths it felt short and abrupt to people. Anecdotally I think people generally only play these games once, maybe twice, so it tends to be better to have your game be deeper (more content in one playthrough) than wider (lots of content in branches).

(Oh I feel that, there is still so much stuff I need to try out in Unsupervised but I dont have time)
Tbh I am that kind of crazy I want deeper and wider, we will see how that works out.

You could have a kind of spoiler free (or slightly spoiling)list like what some games do: a kind of have you tried x? that nudges players to try to find that content.
Like Harris Powell-Smith’s games with through an extra dlc or the Long Live the Queen game (where I still haven’t figured out how to gain the favor of cats, though I’ve replayed several times).

Sometimes a game needs to advertise the replayability more, as in this is a feature not a bug kinda a sense.

But to get back on topic, I love the worlds you create in your games and am really happy you preserve with coding even though it’s hard.
(Writing and coding simultaneously is so, so hard, I know that.)

Hopefully it will grow smoother for you over time and your worload easier.
I’m sure there are a lot of people who appreciate your creativity even if they do it silently. :blush:

I thought about putting it like a list (like: In this route you can do xy, yx etc), but I am not sure yet :sweat_smile:
Oh god dont get me started on Long live the Queen, I always manage to skill it so wrong :sob:

Thank you, I am mostly happy with them as well!

And it will grow much less branched once I am finished with this part, the main reason its taking me so long is because I choose to let people be able to choose two persons to spend the b-day with!
:heart:

Sorry for writing this but you are VERY CRAZY, I have been trying other options and despite being your first IF it has much more variation than that of an experienced writer, plus you have 3/4 WIP (at first it bothered me to find so many tba and errors but now I see the reason) You have gained a new follower on tumblr

Wait werewolf? Is it like you just become a werewolf and then the game ends or it just continues the game with some events of mc being a werewolf? How do i get it?

I am aware of that :sweat_smile:

Believe me it bothers me too :frowning:

No MC is a werewolf from that point onwards. (Spoiler: for the bday choose Droz and Fuchsia and to go to Thalringen to party, donate blood at least one time) in the next update this will be much easier to reach

Is it bad that my MC wants to celebrate their bd by being alone (as opposite to constantly having to be around other people)? :thinking:

…they’d make a really bad werewolf, I think. :laughing:

Not at all. (However thats a wish not even I can grant, but you can curse the person out for disturbing MC)

And yeah :joy: Fuchsia: missing her pack. MC: fucks off into the woods, howls once a month “hey still alive”

Hey, it’s the intention that counts, what actually happens doesn’t change the MC’s characterization!

Weird question about drozis he a hidden crown?
