Sage and Sulphur

Sage and Sulphur is an upcoming Visual Novel about witchcraft, alchemy, and romance. It's being developed by Emma and Rose, a team of two from Brisbane, Australia.

Stinging nettle - a common plant covered in painful hairs. Its fibers can be spun into yarn, and it’s also useful to gardeners as an indicator of healthy soil. An ingredient in the nine herbs charm

Sinistral Shell: Large azure shells with a peculiar gleam. Look for them near the base of dead trees. Powder and add to a cauldron to bind other ingredients.

Hello again everyone!  Here we have some quick sketches of the journal that Grace will eventually fill with information on potion ingredients :)

A peek at what will eventually be Nadima’s song~

An early look at our protagonist’s theme! We’re giving each character their own song, as well as a bunch of general or area-specific tunes.

An early draft of the map, lots of fun places to explore and search for ingredients!

Expressions are fun to play with, though I feel like these ones need a little more... pizazz! I’ll give you an update when I’ve worked on them a bit more~

Some quick sketches focusing on the main character of Sage and Sulphur. Practicing expressions and trying to get to know this character a bit better!

This looks so amazing! Are there romance routes planned?

Hi! I’m so glad you like what we’ve got so far~There is a romance planned for the main story-line. Multiple romance routes are something we would love to implement, but at the moment we want to keep things small and manageable. That said, depending on how much interest and support we gather we might be able to expand the scope of the game!

Playing around with some more sketchy expressions - this time for our prickly potions nerd enthusiast!

Playing around with some background art! For this project I’m aiming for a somewhat watercolour look, which is a lot of fun but a bit of a challange.

This is a sketch of the farm where the main character grew up.

Here we have a look at some possible side characters!

A recluse who is passionate about potion making

A bright young girl with a very green thumb

A modest young lady who is guided by her faith

Hello everyone! For our very first post, I would like to share some of the sketches I have done for our main character. 

These three sketches show her progression through the game as she learns the artistry of potion making and grows into a confident and skilled witch.

Her colour scheme is based on sage (the herb) and it was interesting to work those colours into a ‘witchy’ design.

I hope you like this first glimpse of the game!
