Hi guys,

Thought I'd give you an update as to how things are progressing here in Edinburgh.

Knightmare fever has hit the comedy community. Geeky stand-ups are begging me for the chance to play the show (which is perfect as it's their enthusiasm that translates so well to the audience).

We've had a few palid reviews (to be expected) but we've also had some marvelous ones;

4 stars from

Scotsman

Independent

Den of Geek

Broadway Baby

Informed Edinburgh

And more on the way.

We've had to add an extra show and are selling out consistently... Also I met Ted from scrubs, he really wants to see it!

On Sep 27th we're taking the show to the Bloomsbury Theatre (Eek, it's massive!) and tickets can be found here;

Thanks to everyone who came to the preview and for the amazing write up you did. The show's become a lot more slick and we've replaced the IOU's with real props. Hope to see you all again soon

Hi,

The chest is the very one we see the team peering into yes.

The mandolin on the other hand is not. It's my own that was coincidentally made to look old and piratey for an acting job I did in the summer.

Cheers

It appears that Treguard himself, the one and only Hugo Myatt is providing voiceovers and/or links for the show!!

This isn't the case I'm afraid, you'll all just have to put up with me. Also let's face it, it'd be weird if we re-cast the whole dungeon but Hugo was still Treguard.

I'll do my best Hugo voice I promise

Will there be an element of gameplay or is the dungeoneer merely a foil for a series of planned skits?

I'm assuming for practical reasons it's largely scripted with a predetermined route through the dungeon, but then live comedy is all about improv so maybe I'm wrong?

Will it be possible to 'win' or 'lose' the quests?

Brilliant question! First person to ask.

The show will be a 50/50 split of gameplay with a storyline/mystery woven in. For obvious reasons, we can't have someone die in the first 5 minutes and then start again. Likewise if we've bought and built a huge room of blades set, we're going to use it!

It is possible to lose and there is more than one ending... no more shall I reveal!

Will any of the quests be filmed?

I am also curious about how the staging will work. Just out of interest, will the dungeoneer finish up in one scene, blackout hits, some walls moved around etc. and when the lights come up they are in another totally different scene? Certainly sounds like an interesting concept.

Hi,

None of the shows will be filmed, lots of reasons. Let's go with; it'll never be as good as the live experience.

The stage is made up of custom built stage flats with archways cut into them. These archways can be covered to change the amount and location of doors... then we do some really fun things with it!

Basically that's what the Kickstarter is paying for, most of the team working on this production are doing so for free

Hi,

The short answer is if the money isn't raised during the Kickstarter campaign I shall be in quite a lot of financial trouble. We knew early on that, in order to create a fun and theatrically impressive dungeon, we'd have to get a live set built. We didn't want to compromise, the dungeon is the star of the show after all.

There's a ton of cool rewards on the Kickstarter; We wanted to give out tangible items rather than just out heart felt thanks so we're producing a handbook to accompany the show, there's t-shirts, miniature helmets of justice or you can even treat yourself to THE helmet of Justice that we're using in the show!

So please pledge, share etc we really appreciate it.

There are certainly plans to tour the show after Edinburgh, at the moment there are no details on this as we're concentrating everything on the Festival. As soon as we know, I'll let you guys know first!

Hi,

Sorry I'm late I've been sanding the Helmet of Justice, not a euphemism. Thanks for all your support and comments regarding the Live show so far. I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys have?
