Our first official community dependant project will be a translation of the True Story Behind Biohazard Book, which sports close to 200 pages and covers the backstory of the original Resident Evil, along with some artwork and an interview with Shinji Mikami. This marks a historic day in THIA history, not only have we found a translator who is willing to translate materials for us but we are also accepting user donations towards this goal.
Our translator was previously asking $1000.00 for such a project, however I have managed to get the final price down to $750.00. This is a very good price for such a large book. I would have payed the total myself, however it really is a large sum for one person to pay. With that I have decided to accept user donations. You can pay by money order or by paypal.
The translator will begin work on the 15th of this month, and as work is being completed, it'll be turned into a full feature here at THIA. It will be free to everyone however those who donate will receive higher resolution, unwatermarked copies of the pages.
Good friend, Carnivol has offered to write a guide on how to make your own hardcover book as the feature is being constructed. Additionally it was his friend who is the one who will become our translator.
If for some horrible reason the project cannot be completed, I will refund everyones donation amounts. This deal however is definite and work will begin VERY soon on it.
The reason we choose this book first is because it is one of the most highly sought after books in the Biohazard Universe. It contains the oldest known back story for the series. It starts far BEFORE the events of Resident Evil 0.
The book itself contains high quality art renders set onto the infamous "Trevors Letters", Which detail George Trevors accounts of he and his family's final days inside the mansion. These are far different from what the Resident Evil 1 Remake has said on the subject and contain much more information.
Secondly, the book contains a novel following the events up to the Mansion Incident. The novel encompasses over 126 pages of text and art depicting the scenes. This story has never been told before!
Lastly, the book has an interview with Shinji Mikami, father of the Resident Evil series.
So with that, if you would like to donate you have two options:
