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 110 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.
Unfortunately the rules where not clear for you that it was cutscene only.
We will try to make it even more clear in future cutscene jams next to the rules section and FAQ that explain the format. We can learn from that also and make a banner or something like that.
Thanks again for joining the jam and for understanding. We hope to see you in future jams as well!
