One of the common rules for movie scripts is a page a minute, which goes out the window with branching scripts. How many pages did the Squadron 42 script end up at?

I mean, we're still growing. One thing that we've been working on now is on-screen text needs for Squadron 42, which is a whole other can of worms: all the text that you'll be able to read in your mobiGlas and mission text and all that kind of stuff. So we're organizing that right now. But we were over 1,200 pages at the last count. And that page a minute, that average is based on having action and dialogue on the same page, so it changes a bit. We have a lot of pages when we get into these wild lines or branching where it is just all dialogue for a solid page, as someone says 'where are you going' or 'come over here' a couple of different ways and times.
