Q&A #4

Well a profile would be interesting to say the least, i mean a route guide to show how to get to certain ending per character good or bad

Ah cool, I was getting a bit of an "It" vibe, I was a huge fan, intrigued what'll be with the new one. And oh you tease! :P

Tequila Mockingbird

Look up the Echo Character Lineup post on our Echo_Project furaffinity account for a visual representation of that. As for the endings...I think there will always be mysteries left over, but hopefully the answers you do get are satisfying enough.

Howly

Yes

Howly

Thanks you! "It" was an inspiration for sure. And possibly! ;)

Howly

Yes, we're hoping to finish Carl this summer and Leo's in the fall.

Howly

This will likely be it for the characters, though we do have short stories that we're releasing here on Patreon!

Howly

There will be another vote. As for choices, there's definitely fewer of them in Echo compared to other VNs. We might think about putting in a few more to make the VN seem more interactive.

Howly

There should be a background in the textbox that makes the text more legible. You could be experiencing a glitch. Send us an email along with a screenshot if you can so we can try to troubleshoot.

Like just a profile for each character here on Patreon? As for the last part of your question, there should be a background in the textbox that makes the text more legible. You could be experiencing a glitch. Send us an email along with a screenshot if you can so we can try to troubleshoot.

Howly

That's a good question and one that I'm not too sure about. It will likely follow the same platform as Blackgate, though I'll have to ask him to be sure. We'll announce that once we have the answer.

Howly

A small town named Echo in Utah. And yes, I've thought about making more after this VN is finished. I'll have to see where things stand, though.

Howly

I have a good idea of how all the routes will end, though anything could change at this point.

Howly

Always wondered what it would be like if Chase was a nameless, non-character MC. As for the most complex character, Leo.

Howly

Flynn is the easiest to write for while Leo and Jenna are the hardest. A favorite might be Carl.

Howly

No Steam release, but we are looking into more milestones for the funding of the project.

Howly

A small town named Echo in Utah, along with Blackgate. Horror from Stephen King is also a big inspiration.

Howly

.is flynn's ability in breaking the 4th wall cannon to the story?

Azure Herald

First off I'd just like to compliment everyone involved in the creation of this, it really does feel like its own world by now. Is/was the book/film "It" an inspiration at all? & is there any chance of me getting my paws on Kudzu?! I've developed a bit of a crush!

Tequila Mockingbird

I'm curious how far we are in the Carl's and Leo's stories. Can we expect both routes to be finished this year?

Azure Herald

ah also one more question, will there be any chance of any of these characters recurring in stories/works after Echo?

0one1

How tall are each of the characters? Also will the endings tie things up or will there be mystery afterward? Feel free not to answer.

Milkweed Monster

Will you continue TJ route after Leo, or there will be another vote? And do you make more choices in the game?

Nirbak

Is there any way to change color of the text? The grey makes it SOOO hard to read against most backgrounds, that I'm missing huge chunks of text and dialouge simply because I cannot make out the words.

Auren Drakeson

Will there ever be a character guide to come out for echo? Also what are any other interface update do you think will be in the works I ask due to my dialogue texts almost matching the color of the background making it an it difficult to read interactions!

This may have been answered in a previous Q&A but for some reason I can't load them, so what is the official release of the novel going to be like? any specific platform? (steam, itch.io, etc)

0one1

What sparked the idea of Echo? And do you plan on creating more visual novels after you finish Echo?

MoreStuck

I am aware that the Leo ending is the most "canon", and that not all endings will be happy. That said, are the endings truly set in stone by this point?

Carlos Albuquerque

Is there anything you guys would have done differently with any of the characters? Whether design wise or writing wise? Like species choices or characterization? Also who would you say is the most complex character in the game?

Ventus

Do you guys have a favorite character from a writing standpoint, or at the very least are some of them easier or harder to write about?

Richard

steam release? or news on other rewards you think youd like to do.

Azure Herald

How did you come up with this story? Any inspirations?
