It will be in the Sparrows, but it is not there yet (I will add small details once I actually fleshed out the bare bones though)! It will happen prominentely after the Open Day/Wiesn and MCs bday (because those are already big enough as they are). Each volery is going to have one totally unique side “quest”, most are supernatural like time travel, alternate universes etc, that can also be ignored (doing so will result in always the same backup story though).

By the way, in case you haven’t written it, it would look great if the phoenix has a different relationship if you look the same as its previous lover, something similar to what happens with the ring, let’s say that he gave you the blue ring for your eyes, and if we combine it with the same hair color, he has a flashback where he sees the protagonist as his past consort, you should also make the meeting with the phoenix of the owls available for all volies, these people love red flags, and therefore Lastly, I wanted to say that I love the work you do, it is extremely interesting.

I dont understand parts of this, MC already looks like the first consort 
But coding in something if mc happens to share a colour (be it hair or eyes) with the ring is a good idea.
And no the meeting with the Owls will never be for all voleries. It is NG+ for a reason, its a reward. Something similar however will happen for the other voleries later though, without revealing the supernatural side like the Owls did. After all a non-owl MC has zero business knowing about this.
So the people will get their (literal) walking red flag!
Thank you! I am, afaik, the only writer with this story premise (thats still writing at least) and its great fun!

Just a note, but i’d caution about this sort of thinking – quite a few players don’t do replays of games/IFs, or when they do, they don’t make different choices from the ones they did on their first play through. For these players locking content behind the “NG+” nonsense is not a reward but a punishment, effectively withholding content from them simply because their play style doesn’t align with ideas/preferences of the author.

As previously stated the main story content isn’t blocked behind the NG+, it’s just the perspective that changes, and while Owl MC gets to go to this party and gets a more in-depth look into the supernatural landscape of the Divine Flock (as they are supposed to protect it), the other Voleries will find out about the supernatural too (in a different way, since it is not their job to protect that supernatural side).
tldr: Every volery gets the same information regarding the Phoenix and the First Consort, just a bit differently. There is no content locked behind NG+, just the way to get that content differs slightly.

The Public Demo has been updated with 18k words of new content:
the beginning of the open day and the Wiesn, including bloodshed, have been added!
The Patreon Demo has been updated with 40k words of new content:
The open day is finished and the beginning of the activities you can do afterwards is added as well!
Have fun going shopping, meeting someone from MCs past, drink a good coffee (or something else), drag someone (or no one) to go either hiking, where you can have some drama on a certain route with a certain Ceres, or to visit the old city of the Divine Flock: Kronschwinge!

*if ((roterose = 1) or (sptkrabat))
Something in the air seems to shift and you look up, your breath fogging as you breathe out.
Outside stand others. Dressed in black robes and looking at you.
*if (roterose = 1)
Hilda's eyes glow as you find her.
*if (sptkrabat)
Somehow you know they are here for you... and this is no Angels' Grace.
No, this is something entirely different, you can feel it.
"Go back to your room, I am coming later." you tell your Nest, and they relax as they see the other Ravens.
Your comrades.
They wave your Nest goodbye, making some jokes you can't hear.
*if (roterose = 0)
"Wing ${name}." a voice calls out, and you look up. Marcel Rabenschlag and others. You have heard of them, the Raven Coterie.
"Go back to your room, go to sleep." you instruct your Nest and they obey, relaxing as they recognise the fellow Ravens. Your comrades.
I’m seeing both of these routes in my playthrough. I think it’s supposed to be only one of them?
Probably because of this; That he comes from an old family and has been storked, that he is an illegitimate child… one is more wild than the other. *fake_choice #You stay away from him. *set sptkrabat true *set krabat true
The bottom one, (roterose = 0) seems to have indentation wrong – the text should be pushed to the right by two levels. As it is, the *if is effectively empty and the text is shown unconditionally.
A generic note, but using 4 spaces instead of 1, or at the very least, 2 spaces, makes it quite easier to catch this kind of mistakes when coding. 1 is basically asking for trouble, and also hell of a strain on your eyes.
Okay I changed the code a bit and uploaded it, and I hope its not happening anymore, thanks for catching this! It made me aware of a piece of code that could have become really annoying in the future if I hadnt noticed it so ty 
I get an error when I do that, but I checked the indentation and it should work in theory 
(yeah famous last words).
It gives me an error when I try to do it with more spaces (unless I change it everywhere maybe?).

I keep getting this error and it won’t let me pass on. It’s at the part where E asks us whether ceres will hurt Aqua.
start line 8094: increasing indent not allowed, expected 0 was 2
How do you become something more than human?
Oh yes, sorry i wasn’t clear. It has to be kept uniform in the whole file at the very least. So probably something to keep in mind when starting a new one, since editing the whole project now would be a lot of work.
Amazing update! Will we be hearing about recruit scenes eventually?
Not yet! But it will be possible in the next patreon update (so two months for public update)!
Ah okay! cries in several started WIPS
But I will keep it in mind, ty
I stg this scene thats the Raven scene that is somhow wreaking havoc for the other voleries too. I changed the code, it should work now!

Thank you! Recruiting scenes as in “get people to join the cult”? So far there is just a small section planned for such scenes and they will be really shown in an ending!
For existing files, i’m not entirely sure about specifics of other text editors if you’re using one, but there’s a way to do it quite quick and easily using Visual Studio Code.
Well, two ways, actually. One is to simply Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V your script into a new file/window. I can’t remember for sure if it’s default setting, but odds are it’ll re-format indentation automatically for you to match the configured default, when you do it. Then just save it, and it’s all done.
If it doesn’t work, there’s a slightly longer way:
When you have your file loaded, the bottom bar will have indication of current setup, e.g.:
If you click on the Spaces field, you’ll get a command palette on top of the window:
Click Convert Indentation to Tabs, then click on the Spaces field again to bring the menu up again. This time select Indent Using Tabs and in the follow up window select 2 (or 4 or whatever) as desired indent size. You should see the content of the file adjust accordingly. Now bring up the action menu again (note, it’ll now say Tab Size instead of Spaces) and this time select Convert Indentation to Spaces.
You’ll get your file with new indentation size done using spaces as before, in 3 clicks. Just wrap it up bringing the commands window again, and select Indent Using Spaces followed by your newly defines indentation size, so the editor keeps the same standard for new lines you write.
