Yesterday was very productive

Yesterday was very productive. I worked hard on the Pirate Card game, adding in some improvements that were made possible with the latest patch. When clicking cards, you no longer need to walk over to them. Instead, they're played instantly. You can also take henchmen into the game. Before you had to tediously leave them behind and tell them to join you again. Finally, you can give your henchman a deck and ask them to play with you.

I think the last is my favorite feature as it lets you build a couple decks and then try them out against each other. Admittedly the AI isn't smart enough for really complex strategy, but it plays well enough. I ended up getting beaten multiple times even when trying hard. It was fun.

I worked more on the henchmen dialog in the second module. It's not much, as I was distracted, but I've thought things through and generally know which direction I'm going in. So far I'm feeling pretty good about the amount of time I'm spending on the two main companions.
