They are nowhere near anywhere to land on. As far as i'm aware that's not likely to happen anytime soon if ever.

I believe the MC mentioned that he's been in cryo for four years so that would mean that they barelly just exited the Solar system most likely. Considering that to even reach the closest star it would take 4.2 years to reach if we were able to travel at 100% the speed of light, which is impossible. It is theorized that we could maybe ever reach 20% of it at best but even 1% would take some insane amounts of power to make it happen, especially for a ship of that size.
So i would say he woke up pretty early all things considered, likely not even 1% of the journey has been completed yet if we assume they are going to the closest star to us which we don't know if its the case. So it could be much longer than that.
Honestly, i don't think the dev really considered how vast distances between stars actually are

I'm absolutely certain he considered interstellar travel time based on the many conversations I've had with him
If I remember correctly, the whole journey was to be long enough that MC and Selene would be near death from old age by the time the ship started awakening crew to prep for arrival (unless something happens to change the course, or they get back into cryosleep...).
Exactly how fast they are traveling, and whether or not there is a reasonable candidate planet for human colonisation within that range is something that I think is open to taking liberties with conventional physics and astronomy for story reasons.
Further evidence that this is a work of science fiction where it is permissible to make-shit-up: The crisis point of the story so far has them approaching a black hole, with the original ship navigation plan using it for course change and gravitational acceleration. If that is occurring after just 4 years of cryosleep, then the ship must be travelling superluminally already because there sure ain't any real-universe black holes within 4LY or less that we know of.
So possible either 1 they arrive within say 2 years of gameplay story-wise. or two. They are not in space, but in some kind of hologram tv show? I remember there was some kind of cartoon/animated game tv show where people were put into a place with no memory and not knowing at the beginning they where in a game etc they thought it was reality...
So it could actually be like that. Its really up to the game creator tbh.

I assume you guys haven't replayed the game for a long time.
Ina gives us the exact answer in literally the first 5 mins of gameplay.

That line must have gotten over my head, i don't remember it at all haha. Must be one fast ship if that's the timeframe
Greetings,
nice to see a discussion about that game
The times are made up purely for the plot. They should travel far enough (and accelerated enough) that turning back would take a lot of time without a slingshot maneuverer but short enough that they wouldn't be too old upon potentially returning to earth. And the journey should be so long that it wouldn't be certain they would be alive upon arriving when woken up due to old age, so that it's a tragic that they woke up and would miss out on life.
So, sorry, no accurate since behind it, but made up so the plot can happen. (<= cheers drinker) Maybe I'll look into it and bend actual since a bit to fit my scenario. Maybe ChatGPT can give me some tipps
Usually I try not to go to much into science technical stuff and write it more vague to exactly bypass this plot-holes a bit. Here I had to made up time-spans to amplify the tragic of the situation.
Kind regards.

As mentioned in another answer the regular path would have taken over 64 more years...

That's true, I didn't based it on accurate physics as I lack knowledge in astro-physic and didn't do extensive research before I started writing the story (which I regret by now). When I started the project I wanted to be a bit more humoures/comedic as you can see in the earlier episodes but I had so much fun creating the story that I changed for a more serious tone.I'm absolutely certain he considered interstellar travel time based on the many conversations I've had with him

I like that idea, haven't considered it but it's also a neat idea. I know which movie, or was it a series, you mean, but I don't remember the name anymore. But I can say so much, this won't happen.So possible either 1 they arrive within say 2 years of gameplay story-wise. or two. They are not in space, but in some kind of hologram tv show?

Finished the game now and im a a bit confused why Selene would be willing to put her sisters life on the line by not going to rescue her and instead wasting time waking up MC's companions. And then on top of that instead of her being grateful to the MC for rescuing her sister, she ends up betraying him, again. Its weird. Guess we will find out in the next episode hopefully what her thinking was behind that. I felt like her and the MC were good together but not sure if i can trust her anymore after all that
Well, my reasoning behind it:

Ok i see, yea a bit shortsighted on her part but i guess it does help move the plot forward and introduce new characters since the two villians were taken of the board
Oh I forgot to address the second point:

Exactly. I'm well aware it's not the greatest story and maybe logical story but I'm trying to make enough sense that it's not completely non-sense or out of character. At least not from my point of view.
You can also tweak the beginning story to say that they are traveling through a Black-hole.Greetings,

I mean technically nobody knows what the inner-looks of a black hole would look like, only theories.
Just because its called a black hole doesn mean its as described by scientists.
Or have you heard of anyone coming back after entering one yet?
And that you can add, apparently inside the black hole they techniqually dont age.
atleast in body because of time somehow works different inside it.
And that would 'block' any babies from being born on the ship even if the women are pregnant... And
the MC can be young when they land on the new world opening up for a game taking place after this game.
With same Mc and women, and you can add 'more women'
I mean its fiction and unexplored science area's so go wild on that part nobody mind it if done right i believe. cheers!

Nah man, you do you, story is good IMO. I will admit that ending threw be of a bit at first but i really enjoyed the story and the game overall. You are doing good work

Kinda sounds like you need to write your own story. Leave Marvelous Lunatic to work his own vision.You can also tweak the beginning story to say that they are traveling through a Black-hole.

Why are you annoyed i throw ideas to him? Its not like im paying him or anything...

I haven't shared any status updates for a long time.
Basically, the dev has been getting the hang of Blender, painstakingly converting assets, and also making a hot extra scene
But I wanted to share yesterday's post because it finally has a preview of the first scene from next season
Guys, don't forget about this project. Granted it's moving slow, but I think it will be brilliant once it starts gathering momentum.
Greetings,
Sorry, a bit late today but here we go. I couldn't get much done this week due to real life work and being abroad a few days, having technical problems with my pc and some real life topics that came up.
I'm starting to find my way around posing in Blender but it's quite slow. The editor is quite slow so I still need to figure out how to speed things up from a technical perspective. From the usage point of view I'm getting a hang on slowly. For comparison, the scene above would have taken me 5- 10 minutes to pose from start in Daz3D. In Blender I needed over 30 minutes.
The above image may not be final but would be part of the first scene in the next season.
Next week
Next week I'll finish the extra scene and give it to review before releasing it to patreon. I'm not sure if I'll make it to start the release of this scene next weekend or if I'll take some time for that in the next "Blender week".
Post work
I upgraded my DaVinci version which I already had to the newest version and started to setup my post work pipeline. The switch from After Effects to DaVinci is much less problematic than from Daz3D/Cinema4D to Blender. At least that's something.
However, I'm still tweaking my node setup for color grading and experiment with different effects.
Technical issues
My monitor had glitches which I tried to figure out with not too much of a result. I cleaned my entire setup and updated all drivers and at some point it started to work again. However, I'm still worried about my main monitor dying on me or even worse my gpu. So I'm looking for a new monitor for just in case.
