That's a great Point, about them both being Strangers in a stange Land. I do feel for both Characters and wanted the Protagonist to grow by being exposed to a similar Situation she had gone through. You have formulated that very on point. :)
Sidenote about your Video, I actually thought of it as such that his Wife had learned his Language and spoke it when they lived together, but I get that I didn't convey that clearly. Thank you for the LetsPlay! :)
Ah, well even knowing human language the nymph didn't know how to behave among humans. It would actually be cool to have an adventure from her perspective. :)
I have prepared a few Comparison-Images for a Dev-Log in which I'll show and describe the Edits, but it looks like I can't create any new Dev-Logs until the Jam's Estimation-Time is over. I'll comment again to inform you once the Dev-Log is up. But here's a Sneak-Peak. :)
I really liked this folklore inspired tale. It's interesting to see AI art in a game - it works really well, and of course, the game is good on its own. The game is really one long puzzle, which also makes up the story. Recommended!
One minor gripe is that one of the strong suits, the replayability through randomization, may not fit with what is told in the intro.
Thank you very much! :) Yes, that is true, I was wondering whether I should let him say those two Lines in the Intro or not -- maybe I should replace them with something less specific.
In my Head-Canon, his Wife just may have tried to express Emotions different from what would naturally come to her, and in doing so, she messed up on both Sides... but if that were the Explanation, it would have to be said ingame, and that would unnecessarily complicate the Ending.
Thank you for pointing it out, I'll think about it. :)
Wow, for me this has a good chance of winning. Reminiscent of the adventure games of the 90s, beautiful backgrounds and characters, fitting music, a clear goal to achieve. Not much puzzling to it, but a short fairy tale worth the experience. Good job!
A wonderful little game. I really liked how you slowly revealed the cause of the misunderstanding. The background are truly gorgeous, as are the closeups of the characters. (I don't know how much you edited, but you did a wonderful job ^^) You created an enchanting atmosphere with fitting music and the fog-effects. Thanks for this little gem.^^

Nice interpretation of the jam's theme. I like how technically, they were both strangers in a strange land. :)

Can you show your pre-edited images? I'm curious to see what the AI made initially, especially for the backgrounds.

Very cool. Thank you.
Here is my new Dev-Log about the AI-related Art-Process. :)
AI-Generated Art – Original vs. Edited - The Nymph’s Laugh by Christopher A. Summer (itch.io)
(I'm not sure if I could have published this Dev-Log earlier, maybe the itch-io Jam-Rules and Interface just confused me.)
Great write-up! Thanks for going into such detail about this.

Short and snappy. Good job on the art, puzzle, music and writing.
Thank you, glad you appreciated it. :)
