Plot Overview:
Normal people live through 24 hours a day. Drifters, named so because they literally drift through time, live through 25 hours a day. At 12:59.59am, they enter a parallel dimension in which any action they take has no effect on the real world. However, the landscape is a carbon copy of the real world. There are two factions within the Drifters: people who want the day to repeat (Faction 1), and those who want it to continue (Faction 2). Both factions duke it out in the parallel universe until the 25th hour ends. If Faction 1 wins, anyone who dies in the parallel universe remains living in the real world and the day starts over again. However, everyone loses their memories. If Faction 2 wins, the normal flow of time continues and those who die in the parallel world die in the real world of heart attacks. Those who join Faction 1 usually have a regret in their life; something that makes them fight for a second chance. Problem is, when they get that second chance, they lose their memories and the whole scenario replays. The actual plot goes a lot deeper and contains a total of about 7+ characters.
Main Character:
The hero of the story is named Hiro (lol). Hiro is an optimist until the day his parents and fiancée are killed in the same car accident. He cries himself to sleep that night, wishing for another chance. He wakes up at 12:59.59am and after wandering around the parallel world, he meets the leader of Faction 2. After talking with him, he meets the leader of Faction 1. The player then gets to select a faction to join. Depending on which faction is selected, there are two main story-lines. These story-lines then branch off and some converge to end with around 6 different endings. The story is a drama/action/psychological/romance story so some endings may involve the main character ending up with a girl.
Progress:
I'm planning on using posterized photos for the backgrounds so I pretty much have all the backgrounds done. I'm also halfway through writing the first of three "Chapters" of the novel. The sounds used are all public domain and I think I might add some music too (public domain as well).
Sorry, I don't have any art samples so far
. Please mention it if you'd like to help. And please leave any comments/feedback/suggestions you may have! Here's a little (little) preview of the title screen 
. Oh, and for those of you sharp enough to notice it, the bullet in the title page does not match up with the gun!! I changed it on the new title screen .
I hope you can pull it off. Best of luck! Really. 
. I'm going to assume the worst case scenario so now I'm stuck with no art.
) but if everything goes as planned (which it usually doesn't), I might be able to release in June or even earlier. If every bad thing that could possibly happen happens (which it usually does), I might have to release at the end of July or early August. But I promise I won't make you wait until the end of the year!! Thanks again for all the words of encouragement and interest!
