Here are the PAD progress numbers for this week:

Writing: 55/114 - Slowly but surely, more scenes are getting written and edited. And now that all the main character bust art is complete, this week we plan to start implementation!

Character Art: 32/41 - Our artist made incredible progress this week! There are just three minor characters (and all associated tasks) left to finish before we start scenes! Check out another sketch attached below!

Scene Art: 0/15

Background Art: 0/9

Code Implementations: 0/7

Work on the TDI game is progressing steadily as well. Our writer is a little bit behind as they concentrate on PAD stuff, but the dedicated artist is cranking out new backgrounds and scenes nearly everyday! Today we're pleased to show you art for the MC, a completely original character! In PAD, we chose a faceless MC to help players better immerse themselves in the role as they played. In contrast, Magixxx had you become Valtor as the perfect candidate for the corruption storyline we had planned. Having a defined character design also helped simplify things like the scene POVs we could use, as there was no longer a need to come up with such creative angles to make sure his face stayed hidden. However, there was quite a bit of unexpected backlash to this decision; it seems players really want to play as "themselves", or at least pretend like they are by changing the name they're called in game. So for TDI, we compromised by creating a brand new character, one whose name and backstory are left up to you, but with a visual design that we won't feel the need to hide. We hope you like him!
