The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #584: Thirteenth Hour Sequel Update 27 - Course Changes in Editing

This week’s episode builds on last week's episode where I talk about a character called Captain Rigg Hassen, of the Aulurwen military, who was tasked to find and either capture or eliminate Logan and his party by the people who captured Aurora and brought her back to the country of Aulurwen.  So I initially intended him to be "the bad guy" and then last week, I was thinking he should go from bad guy to samurai-like warrior about to commit hara kiri to, this week, someone who not only lives and is able to make a life for himself but someone who helps advance the plot by helping Logan and his party get access to the country where Aurora was taken.  I figured - why kill him off and make for a sad scene when it could be a hopeful one instead?

Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form!  

It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes, CDs, and special editions of the album there as well.)
