Hemlock is a game for the Yaoi Jam. I've been looking independently, but I figured I should place this here in case it works a little better.
Based in an alternative universe, in medieval time- Hemlock is the story of a male witch called Elias, put otherwise, a male that practices wicca. (This does not make them a warlock. This will be explained in-game.) He lived in a kingdom where witches were treated well, allowed to help the general public and held in good honor. However, once day a boy from the nearby village runs to warn him. The king had declared that guards must move to kill all witches. The story follows Elias' retreat, and his attempts to escape the kingdom to one nearby. You, as Elias, happen to run into an injured man on your way, and your choices can determine your fate.
The game is planned to have three endings, and an extra, in-depth ending that expands upon the original story if time and resources allows.
I'm not hoping for super detailed backgrounds. Simple backgrounds, vector-style backgrounds, or backgrounds that only put focus on the necessary environment pieces will work just as well.
EDIT: There is only a week left, but if anyone is willing to help even after the jam, I'll post a 'complete' game afterwards.
-Three kinds of forest background with varying time (morning, day, evening/night).
-A seasonal riverbed with steep, rocky sides. (This is where the second character is found).
-One village background with a market.
-An abandoned hut in the forest
-A pathway in a forest
-(?)One herbalist shop.
------ The following are for the extended version ------
-A castle gate
-Castle interior hallway
-Dungeon hallway
-Dungeon cell
-Prince's chambers
EDIT: I am now working with a BG Artist; Vagrant-Muffin.
The CGs will focus on the two main characters. Chibi are welcomed too. EDIT: Sprite artist hasn't responded for a few weeks, so I'm going to look for anyone else interested in helping in the meanwhile.
I'm not gonna lie, I have about AUD$15 in my bank, I just like making visual novels for the community to play.EDIT: As above.
The two main characters are Elias and Leo (the stranger). I prefer bishounen art but I am comfortable with various other styles. Please PM me if you can help.Leo has a lean, muscular build with intense scarring. Blonde, short cropped hair and green eyes.
Elias is less defined, shorter and has medium/long length dark wavy/curly hair and grey eyes.
I have references for the outfits, and will work to answer any questions you might have.
Feel free to PM me, I check regularly
