I've been remiss, so here's a quick Pirate Card update. Pint o' Grog provides one of your creatures a short-lived but powerful boost. They gain fifty hit points and a serious attack bonus, making them a serious obstacle for even the biggest of foes. It makes for a great early game card, when you can only summon a tiny little creature.

I made excellent progress yesterday and it looks like the entire prologue can be played through. I yet again swore that I'd never string so many heavily scripted semi-cutscenes together. I still need a bit of polish, fiddling with the cameras and animation. The main issue for me is that it takes a minute or two to load up the game and test out my changes, making the "guess and check" method a lousy troubleshooting approach.

As for today, I plan on more bug fixing and polishing of the various conversations. I still need to do serious QA work of all the areas before I can turn it over to the real testers. I'm still not sure how much more there is to do. The final battle requires tweaking and the "school" level probably needs a bit of work. It's been so long since I made the areas, retesting them is almost refreshing.
