Repoll

Sooo unfortunately it looks like the voting on the previous poll was manipulated somehow. Whether the link was posted somewhere, or someone found an exploit in the poll, we don't know. What we do know is that Howly, who was watching the vote last night, saw twenty votes cast in under ten minutes,...

Whose Route Next?

http://strawpoll.me/5522550

So we've decided that instead of finishing the first act we will instead post another poll to see what you guys want next. We've included TJ as well in case you do want to see his story conti...

Echo Build 0.2 Released!

Alright, here it is! Not too much in terms of new art, as we are still sorting all of that out, but we have made progress on story! Let us know if you find any issues in the game and, as always, tell us what you think!

It can be downloaded on the homepage.

Change log:

Flynn Concept Art

Some of other patrons will already be familiar with this, but after getting some critique from them we decided we'd show the rest of you!

Also, it's looking like the next demo will be released on the 16th, hope you're all looking forward to it!

Flynn Concept Art

Here are a few drawings done by Leone of the grumpy garrobo Flynn. What do you guys think?

Léo (Leo) 2.0! (And TJ touchup)

Greetings, Townies, Tourists, Citizens and OG Crew members! This post is for your eyes only. Our prospective sprite artist, Leone, brings you his rendition of Léo. It seems like everyone responded warmly to his version of TJ so we thought it appropriate to have him give a shot at one of our more...

TJ Sprite Concept Art - Leone

Hello Patrons,

So after listening to all the critique we realized that we may not have been shooting for the right style with Tuler. Many of you suggested a darker, more grounded style while keeping the expressive look. Luckily, our current CG artist, Leone, does just that! We as...

GUI Update

If you hadn't noticed we recently passed the milestone to get a GUI designer! Thank you so much for all your support, this is an important part of any visual novel so we're glad we'll be able to address it.

So, we'd like to announce that the newest member of our team is Toki! He ...

Early Viewing - 1

So here it is, for our Tourist and up patrons, a part of the script for the next demo! This will give you an opportunity to see how the script changes from a first draft to the material that is actually released. You'll play an active role by giving us feedback and suggesting changes that could m...

Accidental Charge

Hello Patrons,

We'd like to apologize for the accidental charge for the most recent post for our $25 and up patrons. Because of this, we will NOT be charging for the demo set to come out sometime next week.

Also of note, Bane let us know that we should updat...

Untitled

Hi all you lovely Tourists, Citizens and OG Crew members! I greet you all specifically because only you can see this post!

This is our first Q and A, a general one, where you can ask us, the developers, or characters, anything you want. Just respond to this post and we'll reply t...

Finished Sprite

Alright guys, here's an example of what a finished sprite might look like. We tried to tone down that chronically bro look and make his features more gentle and sincere. This would be TJ's neutral. Don't hold back, let us know what you think.

We're thinking of doing one more char...

First Month & Next Update

Hi there Bane here,

First, I would like to thank all of Echo's supporters. Anyone who is active in discussions, supporting the project by becoming a patron, telling others about Echo, and those playing and enjoying what is being created. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! 2015-08-31 16:46:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Revisions

So we took all your critiques into consideration and discussed them with Tuler. He's worked very hard to create this style and we believe it is the right one for this project.

We're still working to finalize TJ's face and body, but we'd like to know what you think about this...

Feedback Wanted!

We are currently considering Tuler to be our new sprite artist but first, we'd like to have the opinions of our awesome Patrons!

First let me explain the style change. Over the past few months we decided we wanted something more expressive for the characters. We realize the tonal...

Flynn Concept Art

Here's a very early imagining of Flynn. As you can see, he was waaaay more muscular. Almost to comical proportions. We decided he'd make a more interesting character if he had a slender build to clash with his brash attitude.

And the winning route is...

So we wanted to wait it out a bit longer to see if Flynn or TJ would pull reasonably ahead, but it looks like that isn't going to happen. So, for a variety of reasons, we're going to go ahead with TJ's route. This is mainly due to the fact that his route is better outlined. We also believe that t...

Poll - Whose Route will be Developed First?

http://strawpoll.me/5247822

So the team is gearing up to continue development on the game, but first we need to know what route we're going to focus on! Let me give you a little breakdown on how we plan to develo...

Heads Up! Tier Patronage Update

Keep an eye on the tiers, as we've considered adding some things to make your contributions more worthwhile. We've added a few things to a tier you may already be part of! Check it out. Let us know if these are some incentives that intrigue you.

Voice Acting?

With Zeke on our team (professional voice actor), the consideration of getting voice talent involved has come up on several occasions. Would adding voice acting to one of our milestone tiers interest anyone? If so, would you prefer implied voice acting? (ie; grunts, laughter and catchphrases) or ...

Welcome!

Welcome to the Patreon page for the visual novel, Echo! If you haven't already, please give the game a go by downloading it from the home page. It's a very early build (the earliest, in fact) so let us know what you think and what improvements can be made. We'll take everything into consideration...

Hello Patrons!

Thank you so much for supporting this project. It helps us out more than you know and will allow for this visual novel to become something really special. I know it's quite bare around here at the moment, but worry not! We'll be posting all kinds of exclusive stuff including polls and art in the ...
