I couldn't have imagined that in the leader's path In the pre-cut scene It looked like a dream. I've tried all the routes and it looks like the boss's path is weirder than the others, but I still like it.
He started it as a hobbie project, dude, its not a job. But mostly important, why should anyone be forced to finish or rush anything? If he ends up dropping the project, then that's it, no one can't say anything. Just relax dude, there's a lot of VN's out there with the same aspect as this one, just chill.
One can definitely be disappointed that a project with a good story & good characters goes to waste. You sound like a GameFreak fan rn & that's disgusting.
Is that for me or for the "GoodSamaritan"? I can't really tell if you replied to me or missed the right reply button.
If its for me, then enjoy the wall of text, I challenge your to read it all, I will give you a cookie if you do! But if its not for me, then reply again and I will remove it no problem, I don't want to sound rude towards anyone.
Oh well, yes I'm a fan, yes I enjoy the story like almost everyone else here, yes I want to see the game until its final build, but no, I'm not looking to see a story being rushed because people are demanding more and more and/or are impatient and can't wait the creator to have his personal life back in the tracks so he can be comfortable to write a good story. And yes, I will be disappointed if the story is abruptly killed so early or when its near the end (Ah.. Morenatsu... Rip Torahiko route.), but if this happens, what can we do? Punish the writer? The artist?
Rome wasn't made in one night, it too a hell of time, the same will probably be with his project, it can AND will take time. I say that not as a fan, but as a writer and as a artist myself, I'm just a guy that also do stories, personal ones and also art's, all of them are personal projects I'm not willing to show at least for now because I want to make them look hella good and without bugs and loose ends. Hell, I joined game design in college because I want to do it right! (Not to mention the colleges here are expensive as hell, you need 2 jobs to pay it correctly.. So you can imagine how much I love what I do, because I could just have choose to be a architect and earn tons of money, easily...)
When you do a project as a hobby you don't take it as a job or as a matter of life, you do it by heart and not by demand. The fucking creator of this VN said posts ago (Anyone can check that going to his profile and checking his last comment, but for the lazy one's, here's a print I just took: ) Drakes is having little time with their personal life's and stuff, we should respect that and at least wish him good luck, like a civilized being... He said the game is still being worked on at his own pace, he's a single developer as far as I know and as he said there. So let's just respect the guy and the project, lets not treat it and him like Blizzard do with WoW expansions making mistakes in the story and game itself, like Overwatch with their re-used content over the years, Gamefreak with their DLC's for Pokemons from another generations, Bandai using the same formula to kill Digimon over and over again with mobile games.
Let's leave him have his fucking time, he's a person for fuck sake, I'm tired of seeing projects go to waste because the creators felt forced to rush the development. No one wants another Anthem on the market, riiiiiight?~
This project have potential, the story so far is good and fun, it's pretty well made for a single developer! And I like the love he put on it so far! You can't change my mind on that. No one ever will..
So yeah, that's it, this all I have to say about the situation, what I think about it, how I feel about it. I could keep going on and on, it's a good training for me since English is my third language, but it's already too big for a 7 minutes of typing. I'm not going to reply here anymore, its enough. I already did my part as a person, as a fan, and as a artist.
So, God speed.
Also, here's a cookie I promised, you must be hungry after reading everything. :3
The thing is, it's been literally 10 almost 11 months since the last update. Of course people will be asking when it is. &, if not for an update from the developer that was 140 days ago, maybe we could use a new updated community post from the developer himself. People worry that the game is canceled- they don't ask to rush him, they ask because they're worried. It's always -Is the dev okay? Is the project canceled? What's going on? It's never "OMG JUST UPDATE ALREADY GRRR!" It's been 140 days since that comment from the dev, I'm sure people don't see it anymore.
Well, I said I wouldn't reply, but yeah I understand the feeling, the worry etc. He is lacking some communication on this visual novel yes, he could just say something on twitter too.
But I don't know if its worth the long term problems if he just came here and said "Hey, still no new update, working on this IRL, project is not dead!" and then if he updates and takes another hiatus he need to come explain himself again and again every time.
Maybe if he could pin his message, or put it on the description of the VN page, maybe everyone would get it in a better way. Right now, at least with my eyes , what I see is people starting to hate, to look bad on someone's else hobby and they don't know why he put this VN on hiatus, I would understand if this was a patreon supported project, but its not the case. I guess I'm just too much used to wait and believe in people, that's why I'm taking this long waiting so easy on my end.
But yes, I understand the worry, I'm with you guys on that. And that's why I login here every day (Mostly by mistake when I press D to get discord link and it opens this page instead) to see those who don't know what's going on and tell them.
The visual novel is still in development, you can't really select the last two because Drakes dind't really put anything for them yet, we can just wait for him to do, at least we know that they are dateable.
Yeah dude... The creator said he only do anything on this game when he have free time and when he is on the MOOD for, he take this project as a hobby as far as I noticed. Maybe at the end of the year we will have a new update, but I don't know if there will be more story for the current routes or more routes for the missing characters. I wish they do both but we cant wish for everything right? I need more Dave's story by the way.. owo
If the devs are anywhere near or even in a warzone, that's quite certain, yeah...
Too much crap going on outside in the real World, that can easily put creative spirits on edge and block them up. Since usually for a good story to be born into existence, it needs a certain "sense of safety" to be vulnerable enough to "listen to the Muse(s)" and bring the creative and relatively complex idea into existence...
Since with too under-complex concepts, people are far too easily getting bored - if there aren't enough layers and plot-twists, things can easily get "grindy" and too easy to predict.
Well, I hope very much, that the devs are safe and sound - and neither pandemic-victims nor war ones! <3
Cheers and hope they're alright and their cool two projects are just on pause/halt until things get better - if they ever do in our Lifetime still (yeah, there's a chance for the pessimistic outcome - "Bad End" (of all of us) - to happen, too, so I won't just focus on the hopeful/optimistic one).
These times are full of "opportunities" for "doom and gloom" - so, any uplifting story is most welcome to all of us, I'm sure...unless the creators are struggling with a challenging "story" of how their Lives are turning out. Then their well-being is far more important than our entertainment...easy and emotionally and socially most logical, i.m.h.o.
I love this novel!! Everyone is so nice to the main character, like damn he been getting free shit left and right!! I would love to see how MC (Main Character) got into this new, but familiar, world!
Just check his page, he explains the situation quite eloquently on why the updates have slowed. (For those not in the know you can click the more information link and click on the authors name to see their public feed regarding projects or their work as a hole.)
The beast has been unleashed! The selection process for March "Man"-ness 2022 begins now! The link below will take you to the poll, so you can vote for which candidates you want in the bracket. Only 32 will make it per division, so choose wisely! https://forms.gle/uhGauoU53xfWMDgu9
By the way, don't forget to vote for limts vn characters, especially, Grant, Dave and Norman
We should be patient, my friend. Dunno if it'll really help you feel better, but I found limits spoilers leaked by Grunsteel a long while ago. Idk if it's really real limits vn given the strange interface and some changes in art style. But it's actually Drakes' art style tho!
I really love the dateable characters but Roderick is my favorite. I hope the next update is close so I can choose Roderick, continuation of the other routes and see nsfw scenes. The VN is good but the MC's tendency to get his head in the clouds is the con I see. Otherwise it's a good vn
I'm posting to say thanks for great game so far :) Music, visuals, and story fit together very well. Characters all have unique personalities. Plot not overly ridiculous. Can't wait to see where this goes, and wishing you best of luck with this project and everything!

I'll wait forever this visual novel in up on my list. And I also love drakes' art.💕💕💕
I couldn't have imagined that in the leader's path In the pre-cut scene It looked like a dream. I've tried all the routes and it looks like the boss's path is weirder than the others, but I still like it.
The community, Checking the page everyday expecting to see an update even if they know the truth
Hah, indeed, tho with me, I come here to check the comments and to explain to some why theres no updates yet.
You got me~
if you are not going to finish this, why start it in the first place?
He started it as a hobbie project, dude, its not a job. But mostly important, why should anyone be forced to finish or rush anything?

I cant select Roderick or Pierre for the who shall be the one selection, anyone know why?
The visual novel is still in development, you can't really select the last two because Drakes dind't really put anything for them yet, we can just wait for him to do, at least we know that they are dateable.
Ahhhhh thank you!
So... is this still being worked on?
I g
Yeah dude... The creator said he only do anything on this game when he have free time and when he is on the MOOD for, he take this project as a hobby as far as I noticed.

finally a new(ish) VN that's still being updated!
edit: i'm pretty sure it's on hiatus

I will wait for you forever and if you have completed your degree, congratulations.😘😁
In 82 days, it's the 1 year anniversary of the last update, right?🙂
The 2 year anniversary of the first build is also on July
Hey Drakes just want to ask if there will be an update or will the story continue in Distant travels?
Almost a year now since the last update...
I mis this VN so much i cant wait for the next update!! :D
Im excited to see how the story goes in the future, i want to see the decisions with the orbs ^-^
I love this novel!! Everyone is so nice to the main character, like damn he been getting free shit left and right!! I would love to see how MC (Main Character) got into this new, but familiar, world!
That's the question we all want an answer for
Probably on hiatus.
Hey jash sup sorry to break your bubble but i think it's another planet not another world
But yeah i miss them too
Well yeah i guess hahahaha
If you know distant travel and play john's route and you'll unlock a memory play the memory you will see something or rather someone familiar
Oh yh I think I know what your talking about
I dont know if this helps
https://gruntsteel.itch.io/distant-travels/devlog/364127/arctos-frosthearth
Great Visual Novel and also "Deep breath".... i love you Dave and miss you!!!!!
We don't know..
I just want an update is that too much to ask😭
Just check his page, he explains the situation quite eloquently on why the updates have slowed. (For those not in the know you can click the more information link and click on the authors name to see their public feed regarding projects or their work as a hole.)
Oh ok thank you so much for this info
yes
This was a pretty good VN. Enjoyed it quite a bit! It seems that Drakes has a lot of talent, and has other VNs he worked on besides Limits.
I really liked Rod, so I can't wait to play his route. Drakes should come back to this VN some time.
I think if he was busy, he'd tell us something about this, and yet there's no word about the hiatus not on Twitter, not on Patreon
There is message posted here on itch explaining that he busy
What happens with this VN? I miss Gran so much :<
What's the name of the ORTHER vns👀
Oh yh I noticed same with (APTCH)
ubdates ?
how
Gran, I missed you now~
The VN is prolly on hiatus- huhu
I really REALLY wanna continue using the orb and look how the story goes using the time stop orb. 😫

Just curious if this has been updated since the last posted DevLog, and if so, does it have any nsfw scenes?

🤣🤣🤣 I see 2 condoms
Be careful! Mr York

I've already done that! BTW, don't forget to vote for Mike from DT vn and Steadfast
Drakes where are you 😭 the update
We should be patient, my friend. Dunno if it'll really help you feel better, but I found limits spoilers leaked by Grunsteel a long while ago. Idk if it's really real limits vn given the strange interface and some changes in art style. But it's actually Drakes' art style tho!
well it does a little but still my guts is turning like a shit when i think about limits hahaha don't know why
I found this on the discord sever. Heard that it was cursed limits vn :)
What the hell that hot!
Hey,some update this year?
I was just playing that...
Yes there friends I think...
I really love the dateable characters but Roderick is my favorite. I hope the next update is close so I can choose Roderick, continuation of the other routes and see nsfw scenes. The VN is good but the MC's tendency to get his head in the clouds is the con I see. Otherwise it's a good vn

Oh!! Wow, look at that!! Is this game abandoned???
No it is not abandoned. Scroll down and you see posts where author explains. He does it when he can, but he's busy and this isn't an obligation.
I guess he's too busy then
What do you think about this VN is it good?? Should I start??
It is good! But as you can see, it's been long since the update. However, you should give it a try!
