OFNA: Birds of a Feather, the interactive fiction WIP

Chapter 7 added to demo! | August 9th, 2022

The first draft of chapter 7 is now playable! I know it's already a couple of days late, but there's still quite a bit of branching and small changes in this chapter that I haven't had time to test yet. So please send any bugs you find and I'll do a patch in about a week or so when I've had more time to go over everything

INFO ‡ DEMO ‡ FORUM

I have edited the demo on dashingdon to add chapter seven! Features:

Additional 17k words for a new total word count of 99k (~43k per playthrough)

Some tweaks to earlier chapters

Find out more about the other initiates and OFNA members

Investigate the woods around the property

They wear a binder whenever they feel it's necessary 🏳️‍⚧️

𝐏𝐚𝐱 started working at the dinner to save up money for college (they were hoping to study Medical Illustration)

𝐏𝐚𝐱 has done their best to avoid talking about OFNA with Drew since they're really worried about possibly endangering her 😥

They really don't enjoy strangers making physical contact with them

When their hair isn't dyed it's a rich dark brown in colour

Despite their usually mellow attitude they do fluster easily whenever someone flirts with them 😳

🌰Chestnuts and Warm Milk🍂

My List of ~Favorites~ for Interactive Fiction and Visual Novels

(This is a work in progress so please bear with me)

Interactive Fiction:

The Wayhaven Chronicles (WIP Series in Development) - @seraphinitegames  (Look,,, I’m just... obsessed.. I can’t stop thinking abt it,,, and I'm..... sometimes, I read and I think I feel like I know what love is.)

Mind Blind (WIP) - @mindblindbard (I just,, UGH it’s so good. I can't even say that much because my feelings about it are so potent that everytime I see an update I try to tell myself to leave it alone to play larger portions of updates as a treat and everytime my willpower FAILS and I replay the demo like twice in a row)

Demon: Recollect ; Forsaken (WIP) - both by @bathalafiction (whew...WHEW!!! Are you kidding me?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Look. I was attached to Demon: Recollect. I loved it. And then I played the Forsaken WIP and now I can't get over my absolutely BOMB character design for my player persona. Also it's kind of fun being considered a jerk in the game, because it opens up a lot of different options that I usually feel bad about taking)

Shadow Society - @carawenfiction (the concept is so interesting,, I dream of more. Also Quaiel...baby...)

The Soul Stone War - @intimidatingpuffinstudios (also whew!! I really enjoyed it and the characters all picture themselves really vividly in my mind for some reason.)

Greenwarden (WIP) - @fiddles-ifs (reading this is like thick fog.. but in a good way? I don't know how to describe it without pictures but this IF smells like fog over wet grass)

Divine Intervention (WIP) - @divineinterventiongame (the concept?? UGH SO GOOD. For some reason it's always the first game I click to check for updates)

Golden (WIP) - @milaswriting (😈😈😈😈)

Blood/line (WIP) - @bloodlineoffical (simply put,,, LARRY)

Supernatural in New York ; The Bastard of Camelot (both WIPs) - @llamagirl28  (UGH Both of these are so good in their own ways but equally as exciting to see updates for. I haven't consolidated my feelings much further than "my MC for SiNY is so cute" and "Mordred is a child" but they're all generally positive.)

Ace of Spades (WIP) - @steph-writing (I keep thinking about,,, con........)

Nevermoore (WIP) - @asteristories (AHHHHH.... let me say it again for those in the back: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Son of Satan: The Mortal Coil (WIP) - @sosthemortalcoil (YES.)

Shepherds of Haven (WIP) - @shepherds-of-haven (yes. I just have to sigh because it's very good and I like saying those funny little words of power. But also outside of the game I can only picture this game as a great, grey border collie)

Attollo (WIP) - @attollo (Also a very interesting concept, whoo... I almost forgot how immersive it was untill I played the demo again and was reminded of how 'into it' I was straight off the bat. Also the seperate, short little piece on the blog with Sysba was also really good and I had a dream about it the other day)

Into the Shadows (WIP) - @wynnakang​ (whooo.... I'm sighing again, but louder. I press restart and play the demo again)

A Comedy of Manors (WIP) - @sviyaginthegreat (I kept replaying options that I hadn't chosen before because I wanted there to be more lmao)

Fallen Hero: Rebirth - @fallen-hero (I think there's a sequel coming up? I haven't stopped thinking about this storyline since I finished it omg... the.. the details are really good and I've become ridiculously attached to my tragic villain? Character... she IS the standard for my reusable IF persona, or at least one of my most prominent ones ;-D )

Samurai of Hyuga (WIP series) - (I'm pretty sure multiplechoicestudios.com is the development blog for this game, or at least what I've been checking for updates..... this is a series with four book currently out.... and I've been playing through book 4 at slower than a snail's pace in a desperate attempt to prolong my experience. I really didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did but I got a little too into it and now I'm horribly attached to all the characters)

The Porthecrawl Witness(WIP) - @porthecrawl-witness (I'm pretty sure this is a WIP?? But ugh. SCREEEEEE- it's so good. It's SO GOOD. I really want to punch Talbot in the face. And Asher, if for a different reason. And sort of Staci just to try. Quinn is just a cutie I could never hurt him like that. Ugh but they're all so good and I forgot that I was reading a WIP untill it suddenly was over..... I'mfeeling really aggressive rn as I'm writing this, so please just note that the punch comment is meant as a statement on how interesting the concept and immersiveness of the characters and story is)

Forgotten Names (WIP) - by Alexandra_Zorila on the CoG Forum (turn the volume up. AHHHHHHHHHH!!! Look, look. It's..... delicious. It's SO interesting and I obsessively have a tab open on my computer to check for updates)

OFNA: Birds of a Feather (WIP) - @ofna (the vibes are so grey and smoky but the fog is definitely from a party smoke machine and the room is only dark because the walls are taped with those huge sheets of black construction paper that teachers use to cover their bulletin boards with... the game definitely falls in the 'dark and mysterious' genre but something just strikes me as really funny when I play it. Anyway it's good and it's in a lot if recommended lists for a reason. Also I'm very attached to my American Goldfinch)

More Things in Heaven and Earth (WIP) - @morethingsgame (in the same way that it's fun to play Guenevere in the Guenevere game or Mordred in The Bastard of Camelot, playing Ophelia in the sort-of Hamlet story is really fun. If anyone has read the Missing collection- which I absolutely love- by Margaret Peterson Haddix, this gives me similar vibes for some reason. Anyway, I really want to give Hamlet a hug and make him a flower crown or something)

A Tale of Crowns (WIP) - @ataleofcrowns (It's kind of not even funny how much I love this game... It's hard to even describe why I like it, just that it's so well rounded in terms of the story, characters, dialogue, and relationships. It's such an interesting plotline and it's pretty immersive. Also the first time I read the demo, there was an update as I was reading and the high that sent me on has very rarely been matched. Also Dara running to save my Crown in the tunnel?? 🤚😩🤭💓 ugh. UGH!! That's good food for my fool heart)

Scout: An Apocalypse Story (WIP)- @anya-dev (I'm usually not that into apocalypse themes/plots but I really enjoyed this game, and the plot was very good and intruiging... it really pulled me in and I like my character in the story a lot. I don't know why but it tastes like chikuwa, atsuage, and this specific type of carmelized onions that my mom makes sometimes)

Nothing left to burn (WIP)- @clowdee-works (......ouch. I *knew* what was going to happen and I STILL became attached to Drew)

Smoke and Velvet - @roast-ifs (It's good. And I am VEDY much into my character design. Also the story is really interesting, and I enjoy the setting a lot somehow)

Speaker (WIP)- @speakergame (very fun to play, and each update gets me more interested in the aspects of the plot. I also really like the little descriptions of what the characters think of the player)

The Nameless (WIP)- @parkerlyn (interesting plot, I like the characters a lot, and The aesthetics of this world are so interesting. Definitely had a good time visualizing what everything looked like)

Fields of Asphodel (WIP) - @asphodelgame (I think it's really cute so far!!! I like mythology in general, and the persephone/hades dynamic is *mwah!*... I like the way the story progresses in the beginning, and I think it works well in drawing the reader into the world. I also very much enjoy petting large dogs.)

...there are so much more.. and I have followed so many blogs.........

I'm not sure why I can't find it rn but there's this one WIP game that I really like where the MC buys a manor for like dollar and moves to go live there with her best friend and shenanigans ensue as they try to settle in and fix up the estate

Harbringer (WIP) - @harbringercog (....are you KIDDING me?? I was fully planning on just enjoying the demo and keeping a mental note to update the list sometime later,,, but this game... THIS GAME really made me fold. It's very immersive and regardless of how nervous the author claims to be after releasing the demo, it's of my humble opinion that those nerves can be calmed. It's very good. I was planning on procrastinating and reading a little bit and then going back to this essay I need to write, but somehow I got pulled in and ended up reading through the whole demo and it's apparent that I honestly had no chance of getting through this without becoming invested in the plot.... just... so good.. I'm very excited to see how this will progress)

Visual Novels:

Andromeda 6 (WIP) - @andromeda-six​  (I repeat: Obsessed, I come back every few months to see an update and I fall deeper into the hole every time...)

To the Edge of the Sky (WIP,, probably) - by Ajané (??) on Steam (I think, it’s been a while)

Next on my list to check out: Perfumare by pdrrook

Does.... does The Arcana game by Nix Hydra count as VN?? If so, then yes.

Similarly, the FictIF games are all entertaining, although Last Legacy and Heir to Love and Lies are my favorites rn (and.....unfinished....)

I also don't know if this counts, because I kind of consider Otome games to be their own genre, but on the Love 365: find your story by Voltage Inc. There are a bunch of fun stories, my favorite of which are: the Shinichi Kagari route on After School Affairs and the Saejima and Keiichiro routes on Bad Boys do it Better

..To be continued...

[stephschoices]

Did you remake the shows names for the edit? How did you do that???

everything was done in photoshop if that's what you mean lol but like specifically? i'll explain under the cut lol

- for @bodycountgame nell has this image at the top of the blog so i used it for the banner and just used screen blending on it to get rid of the black background.

for the thumbnail:

the same font wasn't going to be visible enough so i chose one that looked like neon signage since that's the body count vibe ~

-----------------------------------

- for @nyehilismwriting 's project hadea i took inspo from their chapter 1 post:

and found a similar font to the one they are using on the actual game on itchio and remade the circles by just making like 4 circle shapes and cutting out pieces of them ~

-----------------------------------

- for @northern-passage it was simple because the author has this image in their pinned:

so i just did my best to recreate it ! chose a similar font and found sword vectors to use i made the swords too tall tho smh

-----------------------------------

- for @attollogame i took inspo from this font used in their pinned:

and just tried to recreate it ~

-----------------------------------

- @milaswriting 's golden was actually fun to make lol , she has this logo for golden in her pinned:

and this is on me if i'm wrong lol but i was assuming it was meant to look as if the word itself is gold, so i just found a similar font, a crown vector and made it look like gold bars (used part of this tutorial on how to do that) ~

-----------------------------------

- @ofna was a bit harder bc i looked over the blog as much as i could and their cog forum and the demo itself but i didn't see the author use any specific fonts or logo type posts anywhere so i just made one i thought would fit ^^'

i chose a sort of rough writing font for the "ofna" cause i thought it fit the vibes, a feather vector image as the colon (":") in the title cause i thought it needed something bird related in it, and a sort of spooky scratchy looking font for the "birds of a feather" cause i also thought it fits the vibes

OFNA: Birds of a Feather, the interactive fiction WIP

Chapter 5 added to demo! | May 10th, 2021 🎉

Hi, bird people. A few hours late, but I’ve added the first draft for chapter 5 to the demo! It's a pretty short one, but we've finally gotten through the first "act" of the story. We're in it now, whether your initiate likes it or not! I hope you all enjoy the new chapter, but quick reminder that any save files are broken because I added additional variables.

INFO ‡ DEMO ‡ FORUM

I have edited the demo on dashingdon to add chapter five! Features:

Additional 15k words for a new total word count of 54k (~28k per playthrough)

Set your initiate's height so you can tower over everyone (or be towered over)

Confront Elliot

Spooky cult secret society induction

A heart-to-heart with someone unexpected

Please fill out this survey after you finish the chapter! I need specific feedback on stats: https://forms.gle/wDztGvPyDrsTDU9A9

Let me know either here or on the CoG forum if you find any bugs/typos/general issues or suggestions. (Is the pacing whack? I’m constantly stressed out about pacing). This is a first draft, I will make an edit in about a week or so.

Thanks again for all of your patience and I’ll let you all know when I have the next update! 🦉

[ofna]

Mini Update - June 4th, 2021

Hi everyone! The last fixes for chapter five have been posted. I've already moved onto chapter six and am hoping to get that out late this month or early in July! I put this update off for a while because I was mulling over chapter headers, but I couldn't land on something I was happy with so I'm tabling it for now.

A big thanks to everyone who filled out the chapter five survey! And, to the three of you who were less than 10% accepting and still said, "Stat isn't resistant enough," I love your energy ✊

I have edited the demo on dashingdon to update the current chapters with a few changes:

B's surname has changed from Cabot to Cabott, thanks to Konoi on the forums for pointing out the weird translation <3

Changed the label on the "Attitude" stat to "Instinct" Do I like this better??? Unclear, we will see if I end up changing it back

A lot of grammar & spelling fixes

Tweaked some stats to a better (?) place

Switched up some dialogue a little

In certain routes, slightly longer chapter 5 conversation with B

NOTHING REQUIRING A REPLAY

Let me know if I accidentally broke something! Back to chapter six for now 🕊️

[ofna]

Mini Update -  Feb 18th, 2021

Hi everyone! So good news and bad news... Good news: I edited the current chapters to fix typos, continuity issues, and added additional options in certain places (especially for your resistant MCs, I’m trying guys!) Bad news: Broke everyone’s save files. Long story short, I decided that I needed a better way to track secrets and who knows what going forward. So sorry, but also this may happen a few more times! Very much a WIP over here.

I have edited the demo on dashingdon to update the current chapters with a few changes. Let me know if you find any new mistakes!

Can manually set gender of Simon/Simone and Bea/Beau before the story starts (or just let the game do it automatically like before)

A lot of grammatical/typo fixes

Certain stats adjusted to be more balanced and reflective of choices

Some additional choices/flavor text for resistant MCs

Longer “hostile” dialogue choice with Greystone

At this point, I am going to table more changes to chapter 1 through 4 in the demo. I know some people are not totally happy with current options to resist OFNA, but I want to keep my forward momentum going and continue on in the story. I promise I have a lengthy list of sections I need to go back to before I put the beta out. I am not ignoring your feedback and I really appreciate all the help <3

I’m targeting the end of March to have the first draft of chapter five up!

OFNA: Birds of a Feather, an interactive fiction WIP

genre(s): urban fantasy, romance, mystery, supernatural, dark

PLAY THE DEMO HERE

After a strange encounter, you start to have disturbing dreams and cannot shake the feeling that something is watching you. Plus, that stupid bird won’t leave you alone. How fortunate that the Ornithological Fellowship of North America is here to help, and they only require a few drops of blood.

It’s probably not a cult… right?
