For each of the cards in Pirate Cards, I set up a little scene and took a screenshot. When I was working on the Fairy Dragon, it didn't look particularly small and cute until I stuck a bunny next to it. It's an odd card, using up a magic generator for both players. As a bonus, you can sacrifice it to cast another card in your hand, up to a power of two, though the selection is random. The Fairy Dragon works well in a small creatures deck, keeping the available magic low to prevent big creatures from coming into play.

I've been slaving away at my various NWN2 projects, as usual. I dutifully added the sound clips to the Pirate Cards game, which is feeling increasingly polished. In terms of Dark Waters, I ended up going back and polishing the fifth level even more. Empty rooms are the bane of my existence, and I was going back and adding proper furniture. The sound and lighting should be in place now too.

I'm excited to get to the maintenance level, as it'll be a challenge to get the aquatic portion looking good. I've learned a few tricks with special effects lately that I want to try out. Once I get the model import down, I want to give that a try too. I think I can do some fairly effective 3D fish, even without true animation.
