The Ruthless Mercenaries

Yeah, that's always something I thought would be clever to do.

Thanks! And why do you hate Barst? I guess that's kinda good, since he's cruel and all, but I really like him despite that. And how do you know he won't die later on?

Thanks. Any thoughts on them?

Yeah, I remember filming that. It seems so long ago... But thank you!

He was going to betray Bane! And then he killed those pooor old people :'( What did they do to him!

Honestly everything is like a blur to me so I don't remember what exactly happened in each episode.. Like I remember general things but not which episodes they happened in... Lol it happens for me with my series as well tho so..

So I finally watched the finale,I kept forgetting eariler.. but very nice, and I really liked how you incorporated the episode titles into the "writing" for lack of a better term

I watched both parts at once, told you. Okay so I will give you an review for the series as a whole soon, but for now I will give you my review for the finale. First of all good job on the series Star. Okay so this is me being a creeper but was I the only one that noticed that the three members from silver fang who rode out have very similar names...dick, harry, and Johnny...because nvm. Btw crossbows don't use arrows but use quarrels (I think that's how you spell it...haven't read GOT in a long time so don't remember how to spell it exactly). Anyways I enjoyed this episode. The action scene was phenomenal and very intense. I liked how all the factions in the series were in one action scene (Ruthless Mercenarys, Innocent people once again getting between the chaos, the orcs, and silver fang). Lol that guard in the stage coach took a long time to realize that he should fight back with his crossbow instead of just sticking his head out the window. This episode had a very western feel to it, with the whole stagecoach action sequence for getting the gold while people are also on horseback chasing them. Like Bane and Barst were the cowboy outlaws getting chased by bounty hunters or cops (Silver fang) while the orcs could be the Indians maybe or maybe a bunch of bandits hunting them down because they were pissed on what they had done. The action sequence did go on a little too long. This episode would of fit better as like the episode before the finale. Because the whole episode was one big action scene which doesn't feel like a good way to wrap up everything in the context of a finale. Another episode after this would of been better and would feel like more of a conclusion to the series. It also didn't feel like a right conclusion with the random story line of the wagon attack. Also nothing was really wrapped up, like the orcs in the end still want them dead, silver fang is still pissed at them. But the end with the old guy makes me want to learn more and left me off with a good cliffhanger. It would of been cooler to see longer fight between Falgo, Barst, and Bane. Also I liked how you put the Titles of the episodes in this, it was very reflective on their journey together which nicely fit in. This episode was very good nonetheless and makes me excited for whats to come in the trazibar story. 

Here's some trivia. I'll probably release more throughout the week though.

- I was originally going to combine episodes one and two, but decided against it becuase I felt a giant fight wouldn't be right for an opener. Therefore I had to add a lot of "fluff" to the premiere which is why it was shorter.
- I originally was going to have Barst be captured by the orcs in episode 2 and then have Bane and Reik do something about it but it seemed to go against the type of jar acted I wanted him to be.
- the main reason I had a flashback and "invincible rock" in episode 1 was just so the episode had some length.
- at first I was going to make Barst, Bane, and Reik get ambushed on the way to his base in episode 3, but decided to cut the scene out at the last minute just so the episode focused solely on Barst. Plus it would be weird for Reik and Bane to be fighting so well after the tournament they just went through.
- I was also going to make Barst a huge supporter of rebelling against the Emperor at first, but felt him being neutral would be much more interesting (this will play off in my game too... )

There's some trivia to get it started. Like I said, I'll release more daily.

Thanks! I'm surprised that Assassin from the Dead got as much positive feedback as it did. And yeah, Breakout was pretty cool too I guess. And thanks with the Downfall feedback.
So basically for Downfall, you just felt like it wasn't a proper ending to the series, the fight scenes went on a little too much, and there was not enough actual story? I'm not tying to criticize my episode too much, I just like to know for future reference.

Also it is apparent that the quality of the action get better and better throughout the series. It started off simple, which isn't a bad thing. But then it got more interesting with the prison scenes and in the end you could tell by the impressive stage coach heist scene. I can't wait to see what future action sequences you come up with in the future

More trivia:

- the whole ending of episode 10 is supposed to be slightly like Gandalf in Moria with the whole "You shall not kill him" thing.
- the fathers speech in episode 5 was vaguely based off of Thèoden when he said "No parent should have to bury their own child". This time I made it with witness their child die and whatnot.
- the scene in episode 6 where Bane breaks down the door to Belafona was the first idea I had for a fight scene when I created this series
- Barst was actually going to be a playable character in Stranded on Trazibar, but I replaced him with Reik Turman. Look how big of a decision that turned out to be
- Barst was not the original name I had for him. I had considered some others, but I don't remember them now...
- captain Falgo was the biggest orc in my game/series to date. There have been others, but he's the biggest so far, even being ahead of Gorba (for those of you who remember him )
- I decided to include a song in episode 6 because I thought it'd be really different and it felt like something orcs might do when they're celebrating and whatnot

Star, you can look at my Flickr comments to see my progress

Well, I guess this shows how much I check my series for people commenting on it. I'll check it out now though.
