I like the title "Taste of Blood"  It took a while for me to decide on that one.  |

What a start! That was really good Spider. Definitely worth this whole wait. I loved how you out in that intro video as well and the story was such a fun ride. Characters are interesting, the length wasn't too long or too short. I loved it  Can't wait for more. |

This was a really good premiere, Spider and I'm definitely excited for episode 2. I think Rule of the Kestrels has the potential to be your best series yet |

I'd give this episode an 8/10 it was pretty enjoyable but we haven't really seen anything else so it's hard to say Oh also I forgot to say but I don't think Tecumseh's really dead... Judging from like posters and stuff it seems like he'll be a main character.. |

Great first episode, Spider. All of the characters and their designs were done really well and helped make everything so much more believable. And that intro was such a simple yet awesome idea. It really did a good job of capturing my attention from the start. I'll probably give it a rating after I've seen one or two more (just so I have a good idea of how to compare everything). |

That effect with the cube was really clever as well.

Episode 1 Trivia:
-There were a lot of different names I thought of for Arthur Kestrel's alter ego. I settled on Tecumseh as I thought it sounded cool and it was a nice contrast from some of the other names you'll hear about later
-If you pay attention to the date each photo was taken, you can see how out of order this was filmed in. The whole intro with the bodies and Hannibal and Marius was added on much later. It originally just began with Tecumseh making a threatening video to his enemies that he broadcasts over all the televisions. But then I realized how little sense this made. A guy running a small and secret organization probably wouldn't want his disguise and slightly disguised voice to be household information. That and I didn't want to rip off Scar of the Law. The original scene was filmed though.
-Several scenes were reshot as I figured out how to make better sets. (One of them was hilariously lame the first time I shot it)
-In the restaurant, I accidentally put in an alien creature despite the fact there are only humans and no space travel in this series. As a a result, I had to crop several pics to make sure only humans were visible.
-Most of the names of minor characters are people I know in real life.
-Speaking of names, it took me a long time to decide on names of Adrian and Eileen. Their names started out as people I knew but I changed them a few times before I settled on these two.
-Some of this episode was shot as a pilot with different character designs back in May of last year. I ended what I had filmed and shot it again with new character designs after Epitaph was over.
-In the original version, Adrian didn't kill Lia. But as I was filming, I realized this was almost the exact same set up as when Revan let Haradian go in The Desperate Quest. I wanted Adrian to be different than Revan, and plus the danger wasn't over yet so yeah he killed her.
-Like Adrian, Tecumseh was originally going to be more noble and good guy-ish. But as I developed what he was fighting against I decided to make him a bit more ambiguous.
-Remember that guy with the shades? Yeah you'll see him again.
-The guy who killed Tecumseh originally had a cool bad guy name. I decided not to use it in order to make him a bit more mysterious plus less stereotypical.
-But the design of that guy is probably my favorite one I've ever made. (Srry Tecumseh)
-There was originally going to more profanity in this episode and this one line that would make the armor guy about 1000x more creepy... But nah.
-The intro thing will appear in every episode but it will eventually become different.
-You probably noticed the nods to TLOA so I won't bother mentioning them.

Okay I just finished it. And I do say it was reallly realllyyy good! It was an interesting plot that I grabbed me, at first I thought that commander was Spudlo at first . But I liked how the password was "Revan" thought it was a nice reference. And Adrian... jeez. Boy. What you doing. And that was quite brutal with him basically beating the daughter alive.... I was hoping the blonde "assassin" would survive though. I liked her, even though she was ugly. Stupid Adrian, why did you kill her. She let you go dude, don't just shoot a woman! But I can't wait for more. Good job Spider! 8.5/10 for me I would think. |

I'm guessing that that guy with the glasses will sort of be a wild card type character, maybe sort of like the Hondo of the series or something... or maybe I'm completely wrong.

I'll just say now that the glasses guy will return in Episode 2 (which will hopefully be released on Friday)

I think Rollins is a little more like Hondo maybe but I feel like glasses will become a main character eventually.. I could be wrong but if I'm right, it'd be interesting to see how he and Adrian meet |

What about those bodies on top of the racks? You showed a picture like it was a hint for something....? Unless it was armor, or dead bodies, I felt like it was a hint or I'm just overthinking it |

Saw episode 2. Pretty neat episode that looks like it's setting up some basic principles and plots. Didn't think Jett would show up so soon though, be he seems cool. Kron was odd though I'd say 7/10 just cause I feel like not as much happened and it focused just on Adrian vs others as well. |

Can't wait for more.
it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
