Single-Handed and Double the Work

 So…. Wow, that was a whiplash week. After hitting the halfway mark with the second script, I realized that it would make a much better ending. So I experimented with making it the new end of script one. After a few days of paring down, we had managed to eliminate several unnecessary characters from the script, but then I realized that this new end was tonally very different from the first script. This, in turn, led me to realize that it should probably be the end of the second script, but that act three of script one could use some extra kick. So now we go back to the drawing board, where we touch up the end of script one, and build a longer climb to the big reveal at the end of script two.

Sunday, a somewhat smaller team met and worked on something that will be very important in this new project: Single-handed sword technique.





While the techniques are different, the fact that they already have several other types of sword experience means that they picked up on it fairly quickly, enough to turn out a decent old-school duel after only around an hour of drilling.


Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
