I've been taking the first steps to convert the Demon Cards game into the Pirate Cards game. Some things are simple, such as renaming the module and hak name. Other things are much more difficult, such as renaming some of the spells. For example, I changed Higher Calling to Siren's Call. It involved finding new art, updating the card model, and searching and replacing a dozen references in the script. Still, I think it's something that needs to be done to get the feel I'm shooting for.

Part of the reason I switched over to the card game for a bit was my frustration with yet another cutscene. I didn't expect for there to be quite so many cutscenes in this first module, something that worries me a bit. I don't like taking control away from the player, so I'm trying to make them skippable where I can. The problem is that I've got so much information to present to the player and cutscenes seem the best way. Hopefully I can make them visually appealing and interesting, avoiding players snoozing away at their keyboard.
