Echo Build 39 - Flynn, Chase, and all this Space

Definitely my favorite update Echo's gotten in a good long while, especially Chase's spritework and dialogue. His emotional (and physical) exhaustion is more palpable than ever. Keep up the good work!

Definitely enjoying the direction this is going in, and like the new expressive sprites a lot. Conveys more emotion in some of the scenes that before had to be inferred from the context as written in the text. Looking at some of the sprites in the game folder though I have to question why Carl is the only character with expressions for his nude sprite (and frankly why he or TJ has one to begin with given that there was no point in their route or any other that I recall them not wearing some form of clothing). Not a major issue either way just mainly curious if Leo and Flynn would eventually have a similar set of expressive sprites (or Flynn would have a nude sprite period) given that they do have at least one nude scene each in their respective routes. Seems likely that we're headed for the home stretch in Flynn's route soon, and if you have the sprites mostly complete I'd imagine Jenna's route will be completed before too long as well. Been quite the ride following along with this VN over the years, seeing how far it's come since the beginning and the changes it's gone through (mostly for the better). It's something of a bittersweet moment to see it end, but it's been fun. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this and future projects like 'Adastra' and 'The Smoke Room'.

Wow, really cool stuff in this update, the whole world is feeling really cohesive. Damnit I wish we just get it together with Flynn in a nice way! He's been my favourite since the start and his character development has been awesome.

When will Leo’s expression(s) be applied to his route? Or is already in there??

It's really cool to finally see the town hall meeting after hearing about it on Leo's route. Also, Leo's new sprites aren't nearly as intimidating as his old "Get in the fucking car, Chase" glare. Wonder if that was intentional?

It still hurts to break things off like that with Leo, knowing it was what he needed doesn't help, but playing the other routes is a 'fair' distraction. Though for some reason I didn't have any of the new stuff; I noticed the new sprite for Leo but nothing else, none of the new sprites for the others, no expressions, they're in the files just not while I was playing unless they're only in the one route I haven't gotten to yet. Still it was nice to play again, despite the hurt, the knife wrenching pain...very well done as I expect

New sprites look pretty good actually, I don't mind the changes at all! I have a question though regarding the story, I went and continued Flynns route but it stopped right at the part with Duke, I assume this is the extent of it. I was wondering if there was something I missed? Maybe in another route? All in all, great work! Can't wait to see more :D

I think new Leo is cute.

The new sprite work was a little weird to get used to, but I like it nonetheless. Listened to the new music on loop for a while after I finished the update, it's a great one. It was also neat seeing some of the other side characters from other routes in this one.

Updated Leo looks way different, a little... feminine? I'm not sure I like this. Might take some time to get used to this Leo.

I would love to see more kudzu he’s my favorite character in the Leo Route! Find him attractive with his personality hahah good to see what duke finally looks like still an asshole lol
