I haven't posted the update yet, as I got distracted by a Eureka moment this morning. It turns out I can add my own lip synching to the game. It uses the existing lip synch animation files, so it ends up looking like a badly-dubbed Kung-Fu movie. Still, there's value in having some facial animation, rather than the NPC standing bolt upright and psychically projecting the words.

The tricky party, of course, will be to somehow automate the generation of these files. Perhaps I can work on that today, along with the incredibly long list of bugs I generated over the last few days.

Update: Okay, the latest version of the Pirate Cards game is available, hopefully fixing a bunch of bugs and adding some nifty new features. My favorite new one is the Card Fanatic NPC. You can give him a deck and he'll play against you, allowing you to try out all sorts of deck combinations when playing singleplayer.
