Today, we're going to talk about how RED NATION is evolving.
The Culture on the Red Star
The Red Star has a lively cultural center. Players will have the opportunity to participate in social activities, which the Warden can use as a springboard to NPCs and/or storylines. While most of the culture here glorifies the Union, some artists use it to raise public awareness about their situation. Attend a theatrical performance at the Burlesque, or spend a colorful evening at the Wild Cat. Players may learn about the pressures some artists face (for example, the Nectar). Some artists working here could also have a price on their heads because of their political views.

Sewers
Now that the second stretch goal has been achieved, the station's sewers will be featured in RED NATION!
I can't wait to show you a place that combines my love for Metro 2033, Stalker, and, more recently, Blame! In this labyrinthine area, you'll encounter colorful NPCs, as well as strange visible and invisible dangers. I hope we reach the third stretch goal, which would allow us to create a faction specific to this location—a sort of underground resistance.
WIP NPCS
I really enjoy drawing the NPCs that populate the 22 different locations currently planned for RED NATION. Here are a few of them: And a colorful version made for fun.
Azor Operation Cross-Collab
Hadrien and I are working together to make Azor Operation a memorable adventure! It will be bigger than expected! Here’s the result of a very productive brainstorming session where we mapped out the colony of Triton; its key locations, factions, NPC motivations, and the chain of events leading up to your players’ arrival (Mindmap intentionally blurred to avoid spoilers!):
