We're going with a new direction for our Graphic Users Interface (GUI) and have a new artist on the project Re.Alice Works.

Twice Reborn Announcement: State of the Visual Novel Game

https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/ ... 3482488179

Thank you all who have Wishlisted the project. Please continue to keep us on your Wishlist.
I am sure many of you are wondering when our game, Twice Reborn: a Vampire Visual Novel will be released. Due to serious health complications since February 2020, the project timeline has been significantly delayed. I do not know when we will be released.
What we do have finished:
Story: 100%
Gameplay Walkthrough: 100%
Character Art: 100%
CGs: 100%
Graphic User Interface Art: 100%
Backgrounds: 100%
Voice Overs: 100%
Audio Effects: 100%
Music: 100%
Videos: 60%
*** Build of Game in Visual Novel Engine *** -- 60% (This is the trouble spot—my final portion of the project).
Translations: 0%
[Optional] A mini-route for a Hunter Options. Script has been reviewed. Those who reviewed it said it added the most emotional impact/character reveals out of all the visual novel. I really hope we can include this in the project. 40%
*** Need to include a programmer to the project to assist with our engine and the challenges we have having with said engine.
---
So the challenge is—I have to finish the build. After which, I need to bring on a second to help with the GUI set up and Steam connectivity. Only AFTER which can we bring in Translators.
Due to the previously mentioned issue, those costs have made a dent in my project budget, this also has caused delays. I will decide if we need to do a Kickstarter or not, but that decision will not be made until 2021 and when I see how close we are to completion.

Thank you,

J.B. Shields, Producer and Project Lead

Good news everyone! We have a team and have started re-building. Yes, this means the actual build is no longer at 50%, but on the other hand, we moved to Ren'py. We have already started building the demo. This is a great group and I am proud of them.

Big News Everyone! We have released our free demo for Twice Reborn on STEAM! Wishlist us and let us know what you think!

Please share with those who you think might like a story with a little bite.

What to expect: A vampire drama. College life. You deciding Mark's choices--will he live or die?

We've tested our demo at three large anime Conventions. Half of those who play die--will you be the one who survives?

Twice Reborn’s story manuscript will be localized in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Korean. We are looking forwards to our release next year.
