So the vote was really, really close. Closer than we thought it would be with Leo and Carl tied for most of the week. They actually still are, if you look through the comments but, unfortunately, one vote came in a day late, so...

Carl-39

Leo-38


We will begin plotting out Carl's route in earnest over the next few weeks. You will get an update this month, though it will focus on big edits along with art and UI updates. Thanks so much for voting, guys, and we'll hold another route vote once this one is complete! Don't worry, though; we'll have plenty of other votes in the meantime that will heavily affect the game's development.

WOOO! So excited for more of Echo! Loving both the romantic story developing as well as the deeper, creepier story of the town. Absolutely loving your work on this project so far and am really looking forward to more. Thank you

Well it technically would've been Leo if one of the last ones to vote hadn't changed to Carl but oh well. I'm still excited to see where the story goes!

Will you have another vote for the remaining rout's order? or will it be based on how this vote went. Also RIP Leo :(

I feel like if the order was decided now, everyone would be spared a lot of grief. At least if we got it over with early on there would be less disappointment and bitching down the line.

Maybe, but more votes would give the people who voted for Carl a chance to pick, more fair for everyone i think :p

And i just noticed that they said they would do a vote in the post. Kudos to my reading comprehension skills

Ehehehe, oops. I think I was the day late one. I wanted to vote for Carl, but then I thought "Man, I don't want my favorite dude's route to end so soon", so I went and voted for Leo instead. Except I took a nap and woke up at like, 12:45 AM on the last day of the vote.

glad I'm not crazy, haha. I was so excited too. );

Because the vote was so close we ARE considering doing them both, sort of switching off between the two routes. It gives us a little variety while still keeping the story focused. We'll see...

MeekoWolf

Yes, yes, yes, yes... that actually would satisfy both groups.

I think Carl's should probably be done after Leo's. I understand Carl won the vote, but Leo is the ex-boyfriend, he's the main reason Chase is there (He organised the get-together IIRC) and he has a lot to do with Chase's backstory.

Yeah, crazy possessive psycho ex-boyfriend is the best route!

Besides, what would be the point of having a poll then? "Ooopsie guys, Leo is the canon route, so we are going to do it regardless of your opinion,the poll was just to give you guys the illusion of choice, bye xDDDD"

Personally I'd vote against that, I believe the choice to complete one route would give the best feeling from the game even though it's under developement. In blackgate for example, I still feel it's very jumpish, and I don't feel like I'm following a story, more like I'm looking at "what did they change for this guy?". It gives more continuation to the story, like a tv series, if you finish one of the lines at the time. But those are my personal thoughts :) then again, as a writer you may prefer variety to help getting out quality work, so there's both sides to it I guess

I most certainly think this is the best route to go. Like, I can't express how much I agree with this potential choice. It does indeed satisfy both groups and provides two halves of the same tale. Besides, you can always try this to see how it works and, if you find it isn't working, just drop Leo's and go back to completing Carl's all the way. Plumm Bum, I personally feel the same way about Blackgate, but my count, there are now 15 separate possible character routes in that game, all of which are being updated across the board. It creates exactly the feeling that you're talking about, but I really don't think at all that this feeling would happen with Echo, considering that we're only talking about 2 routes, not 15.

That might be true, just wanted to give my opinion here. I agree that 2 paths are less than the blackgate ones, but so far the different paths have had pretty different events with the characters as well, so I wouldn't assume the 2 paths would be so entwined as you might expect. But, this is all the creator's knowledge, I have no idea :)

Volc, if I recall correctly from Leo, Chase, and Jenna's little outdoor chat the very first day (right before Leo and Chase have real talk), Leo and Jenna were friends with Chase before Carl, Flynn, or TJ. The OG crew, remember?
