I keep hoping that somewhere under the current state of High Seas is a fun game. Some parts are working great. I love the world map, sailing from island to island. It's very pretty, especially things like the Brighton lighthouse that shines away in the darkness.

Unfortunately, my debugging continues in earnest. I made some progress yesterday, getting the ammo display sort of working. Speed now changes depending on your angle to the wind. My own crew doesn't try to attack me during boarding actions.

On the other hand, winning a boarding action seems to cause me to lose my ship. My crew decided to attack and sink a ship on their own, clearly a keel-hauling offense. Even worse, I swear the enemy ship looked like a giant werewolf for a time. It brought memories of the Cow Vortex bug from the prototype back to me.

In any case, I continue to be insanely busy, wishing for a few moments of quiet to putter away and get things to a manageable state. I keep hoping that next week's vacation will bring that tranquility, a Zen-like state of fixing bugs and getting things ready for testing.

I did do one fun thing yesterday, getting ninja and samurai into the module. When you board a ship from the Silk Isles, you should theoretically get some cool pirate versus ninja action. Finally the question as to who has Total Ultimate Power will be settled.
