Hi! Thanks a lot for submitting your cutscene to the jam. We really appreciate the effort and time you put into it.
After reviewing the entry, we noticed that the cutscene duration is about 240 seconds. As mentioned in the jam rules, the intended challenge was to create a real time cinematic between 30 and 90 seconds. We also shared an update clarifying how we would handle duration edge cases.
Because this entry is way more than 5 seconds outside the allowed range of the edge case, it unfortunately cannot be included in the official ratings or be eligible for prizes.
That said, we are keeping your entry visible in the jam. People can still watch it, leave comments, and give feedback, and we very much encourage that. We hope you still see value in sharing your work and getting reactions from other participants.
We know time limits can be tough (cutting things down is its own skill!), and we genuinely hope this doesn't discourage you. If anything, we'd love to see you in future cutscene jams.
We are really glad to read you had fun during the jam and hope that you learned some new skills along the way. That is a big win in our book, regardless of ratings or prizes.
Thanks again for joining the jam and for understanding. We hope to see you in future jams as well!
