Hello Badasses,
It’s that time of the month again for a project status update.

I’ve completed my final editing pass on the Italian text, which is now in Daniel Comerci's hands for layout. Daniel is also busy executing our illustration plan; our goal is to get the Italian version fully finalized with layout and images before we pivot to the English translation. Currently, I am alternating translation work between Dirt City Blues and another project. My priority is ensuring I don’t become a bottleneck so the rest of the team can keep moving forward. I’m wrapping up my tasks on that other project now before jumping back into the English translation for Dirt City Blues.

I am finalizing the details for the bullet dice and dry-erase map prototypes, which are nearly ready for approval. The process has been slower than anticipated (compounded by the Chinese New Year break), but we are effectively just waiting on the graphics for the map and marker packaging. Provided the physical prototypes meet our standards, this phase of production is essentially complete.

Below, you can see an early bullet dice used for shape approval. Please note that the final dice will be colorful and feature the correct icons. I’ll send proper pictures when I get them in hand. 

That’s all for now. We’ll talk again next month!
