Hi, everyone! My team is currently working on a visual novel for Otome and Josei Jam. It's called Potion Panic. For the jam, we plan to release a demo that consists of just the first chapter. What has been created so far:
- A draft of the chapter 1 script
- Fully colored sprites for each of the two major characters besides the unseen MC (We do not yet have expressions.)
- All the music tracks we will need for the demo
- Some of the sound effects we will need for the demo
- Rough designs for the demo's three backgrounds
I have also begun putting all the assets so far together in Ren'Py. The game now includes the entire chapter 1 script.
We are in urgent need of a background artist to complete the three 1920x1080 backgrounds we will need for the demo. The game takes place in a European-ish RPG fantasy setting:
- Potion shop: interior
- Potion shop: exterior
- Tavern: interior
Since the backgrounds need to be in a detailed, realistic style, we need an artist as soon as possible. Our current background artist has said they will most likely have time to do the line art by the end of the jam, so you may only need to color. Even if you need to do the line art as well, you will have the current background artist's roughs to use as reference.
We are also looking for a logo designer, but this need isn't as urgent.
Project summary:
The MC (name and pronouns selectable) is the owner of a potion shop in a small fantasy town. They dumped their ex one year ago, and they are finally, finally over him. That is, until they take a swig of a love potion. Right in front of him. The only cure? Fall in love with someone for real! But is that even possible when every cell in your body is screaming at you to sell your soul to someone else?
