I woke up at the crack of dawn this morning, drank a cup of tea, and made some tremendous progress on the High Seas game. You can now purchase multiple ships and head out to sea. The lead ship is under your control, while the others in your fleet follow dutifully behind. It's fairly fun to move from island to island, a row of cargo ships trailing my pirate raider.

The cargo management is now about as streamlined as it's going to get. You can buy and sell cargo in bulk. I think the only thing that remains is putting in some nice informational messages about how much cargo space you have, the relative prices of cargo, and so on.

I also worked on the deluxe version of Firestarter yesterday. I fiddled with the sound files and am nearly done. Unfortunately a bit of miscommunication on my part lead to some dialog not being recorded, so I'll be circling back with the actors to record a few more lines.

As for today, I'll see if I can start introducing concepts such as factions and non-player ships. I might also throw in some weather, such as whirlpools and storms. I need to put in some things that'll cause ship damage in order to get the repair system working next.
