So about that...
He might actually be winning the poll, lmao. There's a bit less than a day left before the poll ends, he might still catch up to Diego. I honestly wouldn't be that mad if he wins, to be honest. I'll take him over Galiano winning again, and Diego is getting another scene in the next update regardless if he wins. At least we'll be getting some new character art.
As far as the aliens/non-humans go, most of them ended up doing about equally well. The only really unpopular ones on the poll are Holoryx and Slurg, and I feel like they wouldn't really be appealing to most of the player base.
