I like it. Nice on going story and I'm at Episode 4 and will watch the rest tomorrow. How many people you have working with you on this? Because there is a lot of different voices :)On average lew82 how much time does it take for you to put together a episode?

Thoroughly enjoyed that,although I did find the constantly changing beteen 3d and 2d a bit off putting at the start but got used to after a couple of episode.

Hey Darkone - thanks man glad you liked it :) With the pilot are you meaning Caine? We're definitely gonna see way more of Caine throughout the movie, his role is very pivotal.
