I am pleased to announce that the French version of Reborn a Zombie! is currently in development.
A patch will be released, allowing people to enjoy the story in French. The steam page will also receive an update.
This will be an adaptation, with its own terminology and names. Thus, Dawn/David will become Alice/Alexandre.
Please note that we also plan to release Reborn a Zombie 2: Entwined Hearts in French as well. I will personally oversee the translation and will do my best to deliver a good adaptation!
FAQ
When will the French version be available?
I cannot provide a specific date, but you can expect the update to be released before or at the same time as the release of Reborn a Zombie 2: Entwined Hearts.
Do you plan to release the game in other languages?
I would not be opposed to it, but due to the way the game works, adapting the game is far more involved than simply modifying the text.
Acting and "vocal expression" are a core part of the experience, and require programming within the text itself. I can take advantage of that in English and French as I am fluent and native respectively. I cannot guarantee such work in other languages.
That said, I will not close that door yet. No French version was initially planned, yet here we are!
Why a French version?
Basically, I want this story to be more accessible to my friends and family who are not fluent in English. The translation will help with that :)
