Route Vote #1 (Patreon)

So, if you've played version 0.10.0, you know that the party is split into four groups. This is exactly the sort of thing I think should be put to a vote. In the completed game you'd be able to choose the three routes in any order and then do Simon's route, but I can only create one at a time. To help you decide, I'll give you a little more information about each.

Yarra's Route (Yarra, Qum, Orcent): These three are off to represent the party at the Gathering. This will take place on the continent of Thenours, which we haven't seen since the prologue. If you were curious about all the Incubus Kings, a bunch of them show up here, along with their aides like Iris and the horned girl from the prologue.

Aka's Route (Aka, Robin, Trin, Altina): This group will head back to Yhilin to prepare for the next stage of the Doomed King plan. Expect to explore the areas you've seen in different ways, engage in political intrigue, and get some follow-up on the plot threads we left there.

Megail's Route (Megail, Hilstara, Carina, Varia): Our last set will be going on a trip to a country we haven't seen yet, finishing the economic preparations. Megail is carrying all the party's ProN, so you'll get results of some investments and a chance to invest more.

Simon's Route: In the final game, you won't be able to take Simon's route until you've finished the other three. For backers, however, I'd seriously consider making an exception. If you voted for this one, you'd essentially get an extra special preview and there wouldn't be a public update that month (but the free version would get a double update later). At least that's what I'm considering, feel free to let me know your thoughts on this.

This one is actually a vote, so whatever else you say, be clear on which path you want to see next month. I should be able to get it done before I have to leave the country and move, but there may be a little delay after that. I need to start work on this before too long, so choose wisely. ^-^

UPDATE (July 21)

Nice to see so many votes so quickly. ^-^ The tallies remain pretty close, so establishing some more details:

- Voting officially closes on Friday when the public version launches.

- Several people expressed equal support for two options, so I'm counting those as half votes.

- If anyone wants to change their vote, tell me. I don't get notifications for edits.

- When I'm not working on bugs or the public version, I'll be working on whichever route is currently leading, then buckle down on the final choice next week.
