Sometimes it feels like the card game has taken on a life of its own. The QA pace is increasing, with lots of bug reports and balance issues. We've got one show-stopper at this point that's going to take some time to fix, and lots of smaller balance issues. The Pit Fiend and Master Vampire were basically unstoppable, for example, and Fireball was dishing out too much damage. It's funny how what was just a little mini-game within Demon has become a stand-alone thing in its own right.

I didn't touch Demon at all yesterday as I was too busy working with the QA folks and fixing problems. The list of issues is decreasing, fortunately, and I've managed to sneak in a few enhancements as well. You can't really make it out in this screenshot, but there's a visual indicator of how many hit points your avatar has left. Makes your impending doom even clearer.
