I didn't know where else to ask this, so here goes nothing.
I've been working on a Spanish translation and I wanted to get your permission before publishing it. It's very early on still, but I hope to have it, and keep it, up to date with the original eventually.
I'd publish it as a mod, of course. The user would have to download the original version then add the translation on top.
If there's a better place to ask, I'll happily delete this comment and ask there instead.
I'd like to see it before you publish it, sure. If it works and is done I can post it on the itch page for those who want it, yes. If you're in the discord just reach out
Thank you for the opportunity! So far it only covers the prologue and it is still going through corrections. I'll reach out once version 1.0 of the mod with the prologue is ready.
hey just came to say its a good game i loved it and also my favourite person in the game is: Marruk, and i wanted to say is this going to continue i would love to see more
Oh my god this novel must be so magical I've come back to play it for the fifth time no matter which path it is it's interesting and worth exploring almost every character has their own unique identity I love this game so much I wonder if the There's definitely psychology hidden in it. I like it, I love it. 👀✨🤍
I'm really loving this so far, I hope Marrow opens up and can get closer to him. I hope the date goes well. I just noticed that the SFW has been on.... have I missed anything? Should I restart from the beginning, or nothing spicy has yet to occur??
If this were a book I would sell even my grandmother to buy it. I've replayed this over eight times and I can't get enough of it. I just love every detail and man the soundtrack is just magnificent it gives a feeling of vastness and solidity. The characters are captivating and unique and they really leave a mark on you.
Absolutely tragic that Marruk's changed dialogue doesn't double down on calling Tucker a freak on day 1 - we lost the goofy grin ;(
Also, I don't know if we've been given how many days are in a carain but I'll assume it's 365 and that my math checks out (which, admittedly, is a bold assumption). If both of these are true and there are 34 marks in a day and 70 minutes in a mark: Marruk (for example [mainly bc he's the one whose age I remember off the top of my head]) is ~49 in human years and (I think this is build 7.5 info) a carain average lifespan is 180 carain cycles. Which, accounting for the time difference in length of days, means the average carain age is just shy of 300 human years.
All this to say: the space doggos are also space half-elves. Hell yeah.
Okay, going through the first version a couple weeks ago reading every route and now going through the new version of Marrowyn's and Rhoun's route. (I burnt myself out and haven't even started Marruk's route, I'll try to get back to that later) But I decided this was a good stopping point. I wanted to just put in my two cents.
I can understand wanting to take out some scenes that made it feel like it's unnecessary, or even feels like its rambling. But honestly in my opinion, this is what made the story so unique, it gave each character so much depth and had me laugh during each scene that was taken out. I did note down what I thought was great, but forgive me if it doesn't make sense, I tend to just write what I'm thinking.
Marruk - (While mc was still in the cell) There seems to be missing a part where mc was being read on his monitor by Marruk in the cell - was brought up during the reading.
Marrowyn - In the cell, first contact while mc came to sit next to Marrowyn then retreated arm and Marrowyn thought he was not going to get a second chance. (was taken out, was a good bit to have)
Marrowyn - Marruk asking if mc is dangerous. mc and Marrowyn joking with Marruk that mc is shy and doesn't want show if his blood is acidic or Marrowyn is being controlled by mc (was taken out, thought it was funny)
Marrowyn- Second day mc thought Marrowyn was watching him again. (I liked it, but not too worried that it being left out)
Marrowyn- Asking about the tail bone was taken out or was it shortened? (thought that was a good thing to keep in and maybe even elaborate on) Loved the part were the blood explaination was blue.
Marrowyn- after the viewing the telescope, right before bed, it feels like there's a bit missing talking about Tyr figuring something out (can't place my finger on why though)
Marrowyn/Marruk/mc- the explanation of why mc was knocked out so quickly, i.e. shock gloves. (I don't mind that it was taken out. But also, don't mind seeing it in there)
Marrowyn- Note to self- Was there a part where Marrowyn swabbed mc's cheek? was that taken out?
Marrowyn- note to self, was there a previous version where the doc was embarrassed eating in front of mc because he actually was kind of like a monster when it came to eating his food? Would definitely consider putting something in about it, Marrowyn is big in both aspects. Him hardly eating would have me think Marrowyn's lost a lot of weight. Just a thought.
Rhoun - Going to the room for the first time. taking out the part where he doesn't use the shampoo. (was an okay bit to leave in I think)
Rhoun - Another bit I thought would be asking for an extra a shirt. - I thought that was another bit that should have been left in there.
Rhoun- I like the blue light line the first night.
Mylo- Taking out the part where he won't eat him - yet. (loved that part, wished it stayed)
Mylo/mc- Also taking out the part where mc turned around (loved that part also)
Mylo/mc- Taking out the part explanation after Mylo's reaction to MC's laugh (liked that part as well)
Kess/Mylo/mc - Taking out the part about wanting to go into even a more dark and cramped space for fun to get Rhoun (loved that part, would highly recommend putting it back)
Rhoun/mc- Talking about Kess and Mylo. Rhoun wanting to hang with them and mc saying they think mc will eat Rhoun. (Funny, a new bit? Defiantly leave in)
mc- Going down the hall after he broke his phone. he seems to know how many hours he slept. but afterwards while talking to one to one of his guardians he slept for a whole day and was flabbergasted by it? just wondering if it was intentional or if he forgot? or am I misreading this?
After going through Marrowyn's and Rhoun's route again, I really enjoyed it. There were new tidbits in storylines which brought a new aspect to it. But I do hope this helps, I know it's probably a bunch of gibberish and tend to write what I'm thinking. I am a bit scatterbrained, but I think these lines are part of what made this VN great.
But if you have questions, let me know! I don't mind coming back and trying to explain!
ps. I still need to do Marruk's route, but I am so burnt out right now, I'm going to have to set this aside for a bit. I am invested in the story; I can't wait for the next update!
Thanks for the notes! Some of the things here have already been put back/were never cut at all? The section of Marruk reading to Tucker was not changed at all, and the alien blood convo was simply moved and changed to Doc's lab. I'm glad you enjoyed the new content, that was all I could hope for!
Just finished Marruks this morning and so far I absolutely love him, and relate to him a lot. I also love Rhoun, need to do his next, then Marrowyn's. Marruk will always have a special place in my heart ❤️
Sure! They do use that sometimes, but unless I'm misremembering, there's a specific scene while he's in the cell where he asks about how they knew he was a guy, making reference to the fact that they're referring to him by his gender. And if you'd like an easy to access example of them doing that, just before the route split if you roll it back a bit Marrowyn calls him "he".
Finished build 7, I am so happy, not gonna lie, it felt like eternity to wait :sob: but that’s okay.
I really enjoyed the new update..; I enjoy the route with Marrow, he is so stressed, I feel so bad about him, hopefully he shall find some rest and relax for a little while before he has to do stuff :(
I am LOVING this VN--since I keep staying up till 3 to read the next part! The story is intriguing; the characters are fun. So far, Marruk is my fave (such a sweetheart), and Marrowyne is just as as adorable. I hope to see more of Marrow's assistant, and yes I would like to some of his meat ;) Cannot wait for the next build! Keep up the good work!
I hope this isn't too stupid of a question, but how does the new build know all the saves and data from the previous build (im very stupid, so someone please enlighten me). Because I just downloaded the new file and it has all my saves and stuff already.
You're not stupid for asking, it's fine. Ren'py saves aren't held in the same folders, they're put into a seperate folder outside of your game files that Ren'py can access. Meaning even if you completely deleted both of your files of Roads Yet Travelled, and redownload it at a later date, as long as you are using the same computer, you'll still have the same saves. If you want to see your files on windows, you can press the windows button+r, and then open %appdata%, and look into your RenPy folder. If you want to see it on a different device, I can't help you there, but I'm sure it's documented enough on the internet that you can find it easily through whatever search engine you prefer.
Thankyou so much, I was so confused lol. I assumed it was something like that, but I wanted to make sure I understood how it worked since other VNs that Ive read do the same thing with files. Thanks again!
I have to agree with you on this. Before, Marrowyn was on the big sized but he looked fit, now he's just fat. He got 40+ more pounds on him, and looks like he will collapse from exhaustion if he runs 30 ft in any direction. The only real improvement I think they made is the fur round his neck, he no longer looks like he's wearing a furry boa. And maybe his face. I think the neck and head of the new Sprite on top of the old Sprite body would look nice, but I guess they just made his new Sprite bigger to match what he looks like in some of the background images.
Honestly same, I just started the VN and was really liking Marrowyn, I saw your comment and went 'It can't be that bad, right?' well... Anyways can't say much about body but now he looks way olderto me and I'm not sure I like it tbh (I tend to prefer older characters, but not this time...), hopefully we'll get used to it quickly (Don't want to criticize tbh, just was caught off guard by the change, missing that lovely big dumb/smart face(?) Edit: I changed my mind I actually like quite a lot the new sprite, it just took playing a bit more to get used to and ended up really liking it, still I understand why people complained but I think it ain't bad tbh
I like the new designs but I guess you could just download an older version and transfer the sprites folder over and mess around with whatever new poses are added if you really don’t.
I love the VN so far. The characters are interesting and I like a more in depth look at the terror of suddenly finding yourself away from home and how that would psychologically affect someone. Rhoun is my fave so far. I'll definitely be following this VN closely.
**Potential SPOILERS below**
I guess the only thing I'm frustrated over is once they had the language AI, why didn't he ask them for the basic structure of their alphabet so he could learn to read their language? I mean yeah his texts in his monitor translate messages back and forth but being able to read station signs so he can properly navigate would be a huge boon in feeling more independent. He even could have said something like "write down the word water," and he could write it in english and begin to sparce together what each letter of their language equivalent in english could have been.
I'm likely overthinking this. I understand its probably plot related to not have this taken care of sooner or maybe this is resolved later on since so much is going on.
I was thinking the same thing. I have to think that the MC is just overwhelmed with his situation and not thinking straight enough to come up with ideas that will help him out.
This has gotta be my fave vn I've ever read and ive read alot!. It found me at a pretty rough time it might sound a bit silly but its acctualy really helped me out. Can't wait for the next update!!
It does. Space-Time distortions are a real thing, even if this seems to add a paranormal (or maybe just psychological?) component too. The plot is very intriguing...
Well, I finished reading the last update. At first I thought it was a cute VN with a sometimes frustrating MC who at times made the right questions and gave pertinent info, and often not. But now that I finished reading it I must say I'm still disturbed, even if I went through the heavy part two nights ago. This VN doesn't build tension, it crams it!!! I was underestimating the MC and now I feel bad for judging him so poorly before having more information. The guardians are lovely too!!

this game is so good i wish dogs were real
You won't believe in me but they do exist.
Sadly not the biped, literate, intergalactic handsome ones....

Thank you for the opportunity! So far it only covers the prologue and it is still going through corrections. I'll reach out once version 1.0 of the mod with the prologue is ready.
I forgot to ask yesterday. When I eventually reach out, will leaving a message in general suffice?
Will the choice of who to text be important again in future updates or is it only for the part after meeting with Tyr?
Honestly, i want to know too •<•
hey just came to say its a good game i loved it and also my favourite person in the game is: Marruk, and i wanted to say is this going to continue i would love to see more
from: Snowey_ttv
I now have an unfillable Marrowyn shaped hole in my heart. Thanks!
Finally Finished Rhouns. Absolutely loved his route!!💙💙 Now i need to start Marrowyn's.
I love both routes! Your gonna have a great time! I reread the updates and love them so far! Cant wait for the update. 🥰
i need marruk
Oh my god this novel must be so magical I've come back to play it for the fifth time no matter which path it is it's interesting and worth exploring almost every character has their own unique identity I love this game so much I wonder if the There's definitely psychology hidden in it.

I LOVE THIS!! YOURE DOING AMAZING 🫶🫶
I'm really loving this so far, I hope Marrow opens up and can get closer to him.
I hope the date goes well.
I just noticed that the SFW has been on.... have I missed anything? Should I restart from the beginning, or nothing spicy has yet to occur??
This is one of the most vivid draw the muzzle that I have ever seen,i really want to feel marrow's cannie teeth with my finger,there'll feel nice👆👅
sailor moon reference 😏👌
dang it im here yelling at my screen cuz how much of a ding bat our mc can be lol ahhahahhhahahahhaaaahhhhhhh
If this were a book I would sell even my grandmother to buy it. I've replayed this over eight times and I can't get enough of it. I just love every detail and man the soundtrack is just magnificent it gives a feeling of vastness and solidity. The characters are captivating and unique and they really leave a mark on you.
cried a lot 10/10😀👍
Aww! Thank you so much!
sad to your grandma
She'll get over it
but indeed it's great work

All this to say: the space doggos are also space half-elves.
Hell yeah.
space half-elves🤣😆
we don't actually know the Autobiography speed and revolution speed of Iyeo and can't correctly count the time conversation about carain and human

AMAZING GAME! thank you so much for making this, i've been having a BLAST reading this, such a pleasure. I love Rhoun more than anything <3
Very good VN now on day 17 the story ends yes or there is an update I just can't download the latest update
Just finished Marruks this morning and so far I absolutely love him, and relate to him a lot. I also love Rhoun, need to do his next, then Marrowyn's. Marruk will always have a special place in my heart ❤️
Lovin it so far. Wish there was a pronoun option for those identifying as he/him.
...? I'm sorry, doesn't the game already use he/him to refer to our protagonist guy?
I see they/them.
Sure! They do use that sometimes, but unless I'm misremembering, there's a specific scene while he's in the cell where he asks about how they knew he was a guy, making reference to the fact that they're referring to him by his gender. And if you'd like an easy to access example of them doing that, just before the route split if you roll it back a bit Marrowyn calls him "he".
Love this VN, I just finished reading Marruk's and Marrowyn's route and now I'm rereading Rhoun's route! I kind of have a crush on him X3
Build 7 was so cool! I hope you keep up the good work!
Finished build 7, I am so happy, not gonna lie, it felt like eternity to wait :sob: but that’s okay.
I really enjoyed the new update..; I enjoy the route with Marrow, he is so stressed, I feel so bad about him, hopefully he shall find some rest and relax for a little while before he has to do stuff :(

Sweet I finally know where the ren'py saves go yes! Thank you.
Bring Marruk's old underwear sprite back :(
I didn't like MARROWYN's new sprite at all, I even thought he gained weight the last time I saw him.
My issue is he looks more feral rather than cartoonish/cute. I get the ick from him now.
Of course this comes down to personal preference, but to me Marrowyn's previous sprites just seemed more sympathetic and characterful.
The new sprites look amazing! Great job as always, Cryptid <3
Your profile pic is of the old sprite lol
Not really liking the new Marrowyn sprite. Why the change?
I have to agree with you on this. Before, Marrowyn was on the big sized but he looked fit, now he's just fat. He got 40+ more pounds on him, and looks like he will collapse from exhaustion if he runs 30 ft in any direction.

I skip a version or 3 and the new sprites... Gonna admit some of them are ok but definitely prefer the old Tyr and Marruk sprites over the new ones.
I like the new designs but I guess you could just download an older version and transfer the sprites folder over and mess around with whatever new poses are added if you really don’t.

Hey CD. if I may ask, when is the public release date?
On patreon is says patreon realease 2 weeks before public so hopefully soon
This has gotta be my fave vn I've ever read and ive read alot!. It found me at a pretty rough time it might sound a bit silly but its acctualy really helped me out. Can't wait for the next update!!
Hi, if i had enough data could I potentially solve the main mystery?, obviously this is sci-fi but it does seem to adhere to physical principles
It does. Space-Time distortions are a real thing, even if this seems to add a paranormal (or maybe just psychological?) component too. The plot is very intriguing...

loving the vn so far, I just love space related stuff and seeing it in a vn is just really awesome for me
One problem tho, there's a missing sprite?
I believe that's since been fixed but ty
had a really great time reading this, looking forward to future updates, and its definitely one of my favorites
marrowyn best boy
There will be a SFW version of the game yes
