Thanks so much for playing and the kind words!
Lovely little story, great aesthetic, music, sfx, and story, well done!
Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words, loved your game!
I love this style of interactive story gameplay, and you executed it wonderfully! I love how the watercolour aesthetic plus the narration gave it a sort of storybook feel too, which made the story being told feel even more heart-warming! I loved playing through your game so much, thank you for the wonderful experience! Brilliant work, you two..!
Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words! Really pleased that it resonated for you!
I enjoyed playing the game. Inviting atmosphere and wholesome story, and the voice acting was nicely done. Overall, great job!
Thanks so much for taking the time to play, much appreciated!
I had this on my list for a while, I'm so happy I got around to it. Wow!! First, I think you've definitely got the best story and voice acting of the jam. Insanely well done, I feel I should've paid for that experience. Thank you for making my morning :D
The art is awesome, and I think the fact that it was made with AI is just as impressive. I could never get Midjourney to generate something as nice as this. There are some small discrepancies with that though. Mainly with how the silhouette of the babu looked compared to his actual appearance, and then with how his parents looked. Other than that it's almost perfect. The music was beautiful as well, nicely done.
The game might lack in terms of mechanics, but it more than compensates for that with everything else. I would've loved a little walking animation for Dylan though, nothing too fancy just 3 or 4 frames.
Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words! Love that you had such a positive experience with it!
Completely agree on the lack of consistency with some of the images, I'm sure with a little more Midjourney know-how I could've made it work, the technology is incredible, but had to make do with what I had in the end. Likewise with Dylan's animation, I'm sure there's a way to get Midjourney to create a few frames of the same animation, but I couldn't make it happen. Would be really interested to see if other people are able to create basic spritesheets with it.
Really pleased you enjoyed it though, thanks again for taking the time to play!
