I'm a representative of the"Fluffy Paw", visual novel translation team of enthusiasts. We are interested in your visual novel and would like to work on its translation into Russian.
Therefore, I'm writing to ask for your permission to translate your visual novel and publish translated version on our boosty.
You may not resell or host any version of the game behind a paywall - as long as you release it for free and don't change any of the credits you may translate it and host it somewhere for redownload.
Thank you! I appreciate it. If you wish to help donate for more CG art in the game you can do so through ko-fi Although just the encouragement is enough, I read and appreciate every comment.
I'm very new to it, am only on chapter 3 rn, but I am just absolutely in love with the characters and story so far! There's so much to love here, and I really hope you're doing ok Mr. GruntSteel. I know the making of these fine novels can be exhausting, not to mention having to maintain a full-time job and all the other things that come w/ adulthood. But I just wanted to thank you for creating such a fine piece of artwork! Keep up the great work sir, you're doing amazing! I'll be sure to donate some money ^^
Distant Travels is probably on the same level as Adastra of Minotaur Hotel in terms of its writing. From the music to the likable and believable characters, to the stellar artwork and the pleasant dreamlike atmosphere, it's an experience :)
I'm doing alright, just almost no time to work on hobby projects at the moment - can only squeeze in a few hours every weekend for now, which mostly goes to writing the rest of the game. Still working on this, sadly no update for now. Thanks for checking in! /G
Aw I am glad you're doing okay i wish you the best of luck and don't worry to much about the vn, you just have to take your own time and focus on yourself
So some questions and I'll be putting them below a spoiler tag because they are involved.
Spoilers:
So first; did Rex die? Like the phrasing felt a little off and then it says 'passed out' but then his eyes get closed and I thought the blood was exclusively from the Commander but then people talk about him past tense and he has a very 'death flag' speech so I'm a wee confused.
Lighter note is there an 'intimate' Nick scene because there's a sprite option but idk how to unlock it if so.
Rex's fate is uncertain and depends on a few things, you'll have to see! As for Nick's intimate scene, it was cut for now. It'll be readded once the rest of the game is done, as I found it too time consuming to write two parallel games (with/without Nick there) and I'm slow enough as it is :')
It's pretty interesting, but maybe you should have called it differently then just "quantum entanglement"? Because what's described in the novel is not "classic" quantum entanglement. You could have called it "special quantum entanglement" or something.
As it's almost completely a hobby project I've been unable to promise any update times for quite a while now. I do want to launch an update late July or early August though, barring nothing else happens with work etc.
Just joined the bandwagon and found out this wonderful VN. Wanted to say my praise words to you as well :)
Your work is like a fresh air after all those kinky and sex oriented VNs itch is flooded with. Great to see that you value steady relationship growth, romance and good plot over anything else. Keep it up!
Just picked this one up and finished the current content today and wanted to say I have been loving everything about this! The sprites, the music, and the writing and AHHH there isn't anything I don't love about this game. The story and writing is a high point for me. I'm also glad it's HumanxAntro, my favorite of the genre.
Reading through the latest updates and comments, it's good to know you're recovering/recovered from IRL burnout. I'm glad to know another creator is taking the time to focus on their health instead of being pressed into rushing out updates and such. Please don't change that, I'm sure others would also agree that we are fine in waiting for updates. It also helps that the updates we did get are good in quality haha
Whether you decide to make the next update the full game (which I would assume would be a good while from releasing, which I personally would have no problem in waiting for) or doing updates when you can in small chunks, please don't feel guilty in doing what you feel is right for you and whoever works under you. Hate to sound like a broken record but I have seen many games get abandoned by creators being pressured by the masses to do something they weren't comfortable in agreeing with and end up dropping the game from the backlash of undelivered promises. I really don't want to see that happen with this beloved game.
Anyway, just wanted to say that from another fan loving everything about this! By the way, don't ever change John. He is by far my favorite and I just can't stop loving him ❤️ Can't wait to see how the relationship develops with our lovable badger!
Thanks for the encouraging words! I will definitely be finishing Distant Travels, regardless of the time it takes. I'll also be doing my best to do it in a way that keeps me healthy and sane.
Comments like this make me happy and encourages me to keep going, so thank you!
That's one of the nicest things someone's ever said about my work! I don't think I'll open one unless I can guarantee at least bi-monthly updates though.
I just wanted to say the game is absolutely amazing! the characters are refreshing and fun and the story is very nice to read. I hope youre doing well and i hope we will get an update soon!

Great story! Waiting to read more of it! Awesome work!
Holy fuck I'm in love with this VN. Without too much given away, my heart absolutely broke. You know what you did. 😑
Still such an amazing story so far! I absolutely need more! 💖
Thank you! I appreciate it. If you wish to help donate for more CG art in the game you can do so through ko-fi
Although just the encouragement is enough, I read and appreciate every comment.
Any news on the next update? There hasn't been an update since February 2023...
Still a while out, life's been... life-y. Sorry.
But it's still in the works, right? Then it's okay! :)
It is! My goal is to have the entire Mike route out before summer is over. Hopefully I'll make it, if not, I'll just keep working.
/G

I just started playing this and immediately Charles caught my attention I can't wait for his route!!
Although I will say John is a sweetheart and definitely a close second but Charles definitely has a way of words.
:(
I'm alive, I'm alive. Writing on it slowly but surely. Next update will likely be all of Mike's route (to the very end) and part of Charles' route.
:) ❤️ all of Mikes route :000 bless
any updates?
Still here, working ever so slowly. Life being life though.
Distant Travels is probably on the same level as Adastra of Minotaur Hotel in terms of its writing. From the music to the likable and believable characters, to the stellar artwork and the pleasant dreamlike atmosphere, it's an experience :)

Fair enough. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something so thank you for clarifying.
You Okay man?
It's pretty interesting, but maybe you should have called it differently then just "quantum entanglement"? Because what's described in the novel is not "classic" quantum entanglement. You could have called it "special quantum entanglement" or something.
In a way, yeah! But it's also something that the story touches on eventually x)
September update… maybe??
me looking for an update 🫣🧐 really enjoy the story in this one.
ADORE EL JUEGO, sobre todo a rex 🤧
espero que se pueda tener happy end con el nick Y PORFAVOR TAMBIEN CON REX LO AMO 🗣🔥

Thank you! I appreciate it.
I have not played the entire game, but have there been discussion amongst the characters about how Arctos is governed?
There has been some of them giving their input, but no discussion out right in the current build.
