So, what do we think‽¿? Is Tucker's mind slowly being destroyed due to it's exposure to the Mæron, like large radiation exposure does? This could be why Tyr didn't want to say much as he knows very well what the final diagnosis will be, a slow painful death as he at the same time goes more and more insane. Or is it because his mind is now in a universe/reality it doesn't belong and it's unable to cope, breaking down as a result & this is the explanationfor the static and occasional "episodes." Either way, I get the feeling Tyr knows exactly what's happening and that's why he's having Marrow preform all the tests regardless of the fact that they all come out what they know as normal. He just doesn't want to admit his mistake basically doomed another sentient being from another universe & reality to death, forever away from its species. Which, yeah, would suck to tell someone especially when you know you're not able to stop or reverse it. Would be nice to him find a way to stop and restore Tucker's mental faculties to at least save his life if he can't get him back home. Because his home no longer exists as when you cross a black hole event horizon in theory, the universe you left instantly ends. Like as if you hit a magic fast forward button which causes the time in that universe to instantly skip to its end, meaning the universe no longer exists. So going back to somewhere that's no longer there isn't exactly possible.
My assumption is that the Maeron is the Star that was once the Eye. When it was condensed into the Maeron, it formed a blackhole which pulled in the nearby stars and created a new nebula, pulsar.
And while I believe Tyr is worried about exposure to the Maeron causing schizophrenia, what if that is because a carain mind was not meant for it? What if the Maeron was made by humans that eventually evolved into or dogs we sent into space eventually evolved into? The Maeron might be trying to speak to the only one capable of understanding it and is trying to draw him to it. I mean, what is a mind but electric signals. And we know the Maeron gives off electrical magnetic (given it fries electronics) AND has a neural attached to it, so it was the impulses and a "brain".
Being in the future would explain the weird static with Tucker's phone as a by product of moving forward. And what about the difference in planet numbers? I mean we can exclude Pluto, so 8 planets. If something happened to Neptune or it was no longer considered a planet, boom 7 planets in the solar system. Living on the second planet would be a terraformed Venus which might be why it was a longer day cycle. The third planet being a desert planet would mean humans accelerated desertification, most likely due to climate change.
And I agree there is no way back, because it's a lot easier to pull something forward in time than backwards (moving faster than light, time outside the bubble accelerates while those in the bubble age slower). Ultimately I agree with you on how Tucker got to where he is. I just believe it's the future and not a separate universe or part of our universe.
If it was The Eye, then what's the current eye? Wouldn't a star create heat and energy, more than gravity? I think it's a black hole or a wormhole of some sort. According to most, if not all black hole theory, going backwards isn't possible, going forward could be but there are issues there too, but they're less insurmountable. I think it's been shown that they're not in our solar system. The star is different, more to the white side I think, the surrounding systems, stars, etc are totally different, not to mention the void they're in. I'm of the idea he was transported to a different universe via an accident or an unknown ability of The Mæron, as no one seems to know where it came from or who created it. For all Tyr knows it could be a weapon and possibly the reason they're in the void as it created it.
To clarify what I mean about it being the Eye. I think the Maeron was the Star that was where the Eye is. The condensing caused a blackhole and then that blackhole became the pulsar we know as the Eye (the Marrow route has Marrow mention it is a pulsar, which is a type of nebula, ie a baby star) (the Rhoun route has a dream where the Eye is alluded to be stitched together from pieces of its brethren) And doesn't it create heat and energy? That's what is powering the Ikarod2. Marrow said they don't know if the gravity or the energy are the main purpose or side effect of the Maeron, but it does produce energy, gravity, and electromagnetic waves (Marrow said he can't approach it) like a star does. And the line between a condensed star (to fit on a ship) and a blackhole is very thin from my understanding of physics.
Thanks for the banter! I enjoy theorycrafting!
It could be a different universe, but if enough time has passed the star map would change a lot too. Like when I said I think it's the future, I'm thinking tens of thousands of years in the future.
If it's not the future, I still think my Eye and Maeron being connected theory is sound.
Oh, and just a thought but. Do we know if the Carain can see colors? Can they cry? Bark? Howl? Just curious how many canine traits they have besides their appearance 🤔
Цвета они должны видеть, так как построили станцию в сером цвете. И Маррук любит красный цвет, а синий нет, значит они (Караины) различают цвета.
Плакать они умеют, когда Таккер сломал телефон было написано что он слышит как Маррук плачет.
Про лаять и выть не было написано, возможно их язык это и есть лай, только Таккер его понимает, поэтому для нас это как Английский.
Про собачьи черты даже думать не хочу. Я кажется понимаю что ты имеешь ввиду.
Непроизвольного виляние хвостом вроде бы нет, а вот на какие-то факторы да, опять же Таккер видел как у Маррука вилял хвост под одеялом, из-за точно что он был счастлив? Они просто обнялись до этого.
"They must be able to see colors, since the station was built in gray. And Marruk likes red, but not blue, which means they (the Karains) can distinguish colors. They know how to cry; when Tucker broke the phone, it said he heard Marruk crying. There was no mention of barking or howling; perhaps their language is barking, but only Tucker understands it, so to us it's like English. I don't even want to think about canine characteristics. I think I understand what you meant. There doesn't seem to be any involuntary tail wagging, but some factors influence it. Tucker saw Marruk's tail wagging under the blanket. Could it be because he was happy? They had just hugged."
Yeah i get that in this evolved species can clearly see in color, which is nice that they hinted at it as others don't. They just assume we would forget that our dogs didn't evolve that ability. Only Lyre kinda comes out and says they're able to see color when they had Lyall say, "I love red, it's my favorite color." Ugh, Lyall is by far my fave wolf/canine MC, probably fave regardless of species actually. Anyway. I don't think any tail movements are truly involuntary with canines, they just don't realize they're doing it at times, but there is always a reason. Yeah for all we know he is barking, growling etc because we're hearing the translated language in Tucker's slowly scrambling mind.
Has anyone genuinely picked Marruk or the cute and soft and extra round Marrowyn? Or if you did pick one of them did you do it just to be different because you realized it's basically impossible to not pick Rhoun? I know most have probably either started a new game and picked one of the two, or quick saved at the choice so you can go back and pick? Rhoun is just too well done of a character imo to not pick. Quiet, shy, thoughtful, caring, clumsy, a little dumb, and a little brilliant, danaged, flawed, thicc, and he smokes space weed !!! Yeah, Marrow is a giant, fluffy, and he's 3 C's thiccc. Marruk is mysterious, aggressive, sharp, jacked, but portrays a hint of underlying pain, vulnerability, and compassion that he tries his damnest to hide.
An android will be uploaded when Update 9 comes out in ~ A week or so. This page exists to let people know about the Itch.Io Stuff and keep the VN findable in search. Check out the "Bump in the Road" Post above. If you go to Cryptids profile you can find the other page and download an android version there.
Even if it feels like drag at times - living through Tuckers perspective - its very nice vn overall
I gave it a try for Marruk - and was not dissapointed
Looking forward to see where the story goes
As for itch io - they can do better than just shadowban and whatnot. Furry men enjoyers are a big community here, and we want our artsist to be treated fairly
Awwwww. All my comments about astrophysics, quantum physics, black holes, parallel universes, alternate universes, white holes, worm holes 🕳, attractive and repulsive gravity, antimatter, negative mass, strange natter, quark matter, time dilation, the singularity is a moment in time not a point in space. The final moment in time for anything that falls into the black hole. In a stationary black hole that is. In a rotating one, you can actually maneuver inside it and avoid the singularity. You could even pilot into a white hole, into a whole new universe. Or aim at the singularity and enter an antiverse. One with repulsive gravity.
Wonderful music, wonderful characters that you root for as you watch them transform before your eyes. (Team Marruk for life!)
The story is simple, but then you find yourself in strange situations for which there are no answers yet, and all you can do is guess.
Cryptid and their small team have managed to create a fantastic world that I can't stop recommending to everyone I meet. (It's like I'm an official paid promoter, lol.)
Got all the love in the world for this game. Great story, fantastic characters, and brilliant artwork. Always looking forward to the next update, the next chapter. Can’t wait to see more, Cryptid!
This is genuinely one of the best works I've ever read and it's sad to see it shadowbanned by such a stupid decision on Itch.io's part. Stay strong Cryptid.
I love with all my heart the work that the writers and artists do in the VN, I hope everything goes well and thank you for the quality and content that you give us, it is difficult and no matter what happens the fans appreciate the love that you have put into your story
just in case, have a separate account for your patreon n stuff like that not attached or linked to your current ones, in case this goes further, and it very well might. It is recommended to prepare backups on discord, since it’s a free service and won’t have to cave to the pressure of visa/mastercard/paypal as much as small sites like this, with all this though, it will be difficult to grow the community now. I hope you and the many other creators on here can weather this storm. We are stronger together.
It's absolute bullshit that artists are being punished by the spinelessness of the platforms they're on. Here's hoping we can overcome this because RYT is an amazing project and doesn't deserve to get throttled by this nonsense
Wait, does this mean I all my comments and the conversation about black holes, attractive gravity, repulsive gravity, wormholes, negative mass, antimatter, physics, white holes, quantum physics, parallel realities/universes?

I must admit I miss Marrowyn original sprite. I came back after a while and I liked the previous one a lot

I can't read any of that, sorry
Эх, переводчик в помощь 🥀
He said something like this

I found the music on YouTube finally!!
Decaying Orbit is such a great chill song 🎵 👌
What about the Android version?

RYT is a great VN.
Even if it feels like drag at times - living through Tuckers perspective - its very nice vn overall
I gave it a try for Marruk - and was not dissapointed

Please read . One of the best FVN out there. I highly recommend. Also I wanna rub Marrowyns belly
Same!!!!
Road Yet Traveled...
A beautiful visual novel that stole my heart.
Wonderful music, wonderful characters that you root for as you watch them transform before your eyes. (Team Marruk for life!)
The story is simple, but then you find yourself in strange situations for which there are no answers yet, and all you can do is guess.

PLEASE play Roads Yet Traveled it's soooo good. I can't even put it into words
RAHHHH ITCH WILL NOT SUPPRESS THIS!
so whats the deal with airline food amiright
this is.. peak..
Rhoun is my fiance, I will not be sharing
THE LEGACY OF RYT SHALL NOT END
That was a bit cringe...
Soup? Eno? WHO ARE U?
kingstar? 😅 That's the same name in my server. Who are you??
Sorry, looks like we haven’t met, I was sleep deprived. I go by Eli on the server.
Oh I know you. It's alright that you don't know me, since I don't join the voice chats/streams.
All hail Rhoun
hehehe
very very very very like Rhoun，I love Rhoun！！
Got all the love in the world for this game. Great story, fantastic characters, and brilliant artwork. Always looking forward to the next update, the next chapter. Can’t wait to see more, Cryptid!
Glorptid Nation
Haha I knew I'd find your funny comment here
hehehe
hey Solair, fancy seein’ you here.
Looking foward to the next update >.<
Top 5 FVN of all time, easy! Shame what itch is doing to the stats here. Go read this, it's pawsome!
Rhoun Nation ^^^^^^
Quite and interesting story. I look forward to seeing more.
love the game writing comment for stats
This is genuinely one of the best works I've ever read and it's sad to see it shadowbanned by such a stupid decision on Itch.io's part. Stay strong Cryptid.
love ur work stay strong big dog
I love with all my heart the work that the writers and artists do in the VN, I hope everything goes well and thank you for the quality and content that you give us, it is difficult and no matter what happens the fans appreciate the love that you have put into your story
I can't believe what the community has to go through rn , wishing you guys the best as well as all the other furry creators, stay strong !!
I love this VN, stay strong CryptidDog
just in case, have a separate account for your patreon n stuff like that not attached or linked to your current ones, in case this goes further, and it very well might. It is recommended to prepare backups on discord, since it’s a free service and won’t have to cave to the pressure of visa/mastercard/paypal as much as small sites like this, with all this though, it will be difficult to grow the community now. I hope you and the many other creators on here can weather this storm. We are stronger together.
There isn't an android version, can someone tell me what happened
I just read the bump on the road, what is shadow banning, it sounds bad, and very unfair, why would this happen?!?!
Itch.Io enacted a policy change to hide any game they flagged as "Adult" "Nsfw" or "R18". RYT got caught up in the mix, unfortunately
Great vn. Sad to see this happen to it, hope everything will be fine. Stay strong
This is not a matter of fairness anymore; the whole thing feels utterly absurd, so I think I feel compelled to speak out.
May all creators weather the storm safely. Wishing you all smooth sailing.
Sad to see what's happening here. Stay strong, this game really is fantastic x3
I hope things get better and that they fix that shadow ban. I love this vn too much to see it end early.
I'll be waiting for the android versión
Dang the whole situation is just really unfair :(
Hope everything works out for y'all!
WTF is shadow banned, and why did it target this VN? There are much more provocative works on Itch than this. WTF?
It's absolute bullshit that artists are being punished by the spinelessness of the platforms they're on. Here's hoping we can overcome this because RYT is an amazing project and doesn't deserve to get throttled by this nonsense
Wait, does this mean I all my comments and the conversation about black holes, attractive gravity, repulsive gravity, wormholes, negative mass, antimatter, physics, white holes, quantum physics, parallel realities/universes?
Are lost to the void?!
