The quality on this is insane... you know it only goes up to five, right? =P

Seriously this was excellent, I think maybe the thinnest aspect was the fit.  For me,  it wasn't until the end that you captured the entirety of the artwork, by touching on the tragedy element, however lightly.

Lovely stuff.

Thank you for the kind words! :D

I didn't really include my thinking behind the piece in the description, so I'll leave it here if that's alright!

One of the first things I noticed about the artwork was the butterfly motif in the stained glass along with the cross. For me, those represent rebirth, resurrection, new beginnings, etc. Then I noticed the butterflies in the church which I interpreted as the reincarnated forms of the lovers. With resurrection and new life being major themes for heavenly rewards in Christianity, even though the journey of the lovers is sad while they are apart and eventually die, I viewed the story ultimately as happy due to them being reunited in the next life.

With these things in mind, I tried to write a theme that was romantic and sad yet hopeful, and one that could be applied individually to each scenario in the story of the stained-glass windows and butterflies in the church.  I hope I succeeded! 

Overall, I had a great time with this gamejam and I hope you and everyone else did as well! Thanks again!

Ooh, interesting - good interpretation. I took notice of the butterflies on the stained glass, but overlooked the butterflies in the foreground entirely, or perhaps just didn't realize how significant they were to the story. I had a lot of fun with this jam =] - Hope to try again in season 2 =P.

Glad to hear you had fun! Looking forward to seeing what we can both come up with!
