First off - Happy New Year!
When I look back at the state of the game on January 1st, well...there wasn't much to look at. I had the story script being edited and still very little to show about the game. Well, things are different now!
The game has reached its beta phase
Basically, it's fully playable, the story is locked, and there are no more features or content meant to be implemented. Since last August, here's a list of what has been accomplished:
The game now has all its visual effects made! That was a lot of work.
The UI is now fully implemented, and will support controllers as well. WIth a few minor correction we can call this nigh completed!
And here's what's still being worked on:
Music and sound are progressing. Visual effects require custom sounds for them!
Sprites are progressing nicely.
Polish, polish, polish. It just takes a long time to fine-tune everything!
FAQ:
When will the game release? While I do feel confident aiming for a 2026 release, I won't make any promise until I'm certain the game can hold a clear release window. As such, there is still potential for the game to be released in 2027.
What can I expect after Reborn a Zombie 2? I'm currently working on the project that will follow Reborn 2 after its release. As usual, no official announcement until everything is secured.
The future of The Magii Archives
2025 has been a year of learning—about myself, about the tools, and the stories that I wanted to make. I want 2026 to be this transitional year where I manage to find my footing and become able to push further, more, and in new directions!
To put it simply: I wish to explore this universe further and I want you to follow me on this journey! It will not be easy, but I have no plans of stopping. Reborn 2 may be Dawn's end of her journey, but it only means a new one will start afterward!
