Wizard’s Tower Still Breaking Our Brains

A month has gone by since we started our new prototype. Reinan had a little break to go visit family over memorial day weekend. I spent the time gaffing for a small but very cool independent film.

The concept is good, but there are details that need to be attended to before we’re confident it will actually sell.

We expect we’ll be at this for a while before we’re happy, or until we come to the decision the prototype should be shelved for a new one. The thing about prototypes is not all of them work. That’s why you have to; you have to pick up the slack. Every idea that doesn’t work, you make two new ones. You’ve got to stay focused. Fortunately, we have a help there:
