Hi EnochRoot - I'm more than happy to - thank you very much! =^.^=

Thanks so much. I really appreciate you spotting that issue. Great to be able to avoid unnecessary confusion.

Thanks for mentioning your News Section too. I'll speak to Bio and Pooka as they would seem to be the ideal candidates to post it for us.

No I agree. I'll definitely edit it out and just leave the rule referring to the need for the level to be playable and not just a movie. If someone uses cutscenes in a very ham-fisted way then it will just tell against the level in the judging, whereas if someone makes effective use of them to to tell a story, develop characters etc then that will be a bonus. We genuinely don't want to encourage any one type of approach with this contest. We know our past contests have been fairly logic heavy and we wanted this to suit a wider range of creators and allow entries which went for a good story and/or great visuals. We just want to see some originality. We refer to this in the overall intro but that rule (which is a hang over from an earlier contest) does seem to run counter to that and so I will edit to remove it.

EDIT: Made the change. Please let me know if you think there is still any possibility of confusion. Sometimes it's hard to know how things will come across to others.

Hi Enoch - sorry that's not very clear is it? That section of the rules does come from earlier contests and is not specific to this one. An entry can be any genre. I think we just wanted to make a point about not overdoing cutscenes, if you do attempt a platformer. Some of the crew get very irritated if a level is interrupted every minute by a cutscene showing you something really obvious ! We'll see if we can tweak the wording so it doesn't cause any more confusion. The main point remains that we want playable levels and not movies.

Oops, sorry - I forgot to reply! I posted the site notice and all that and just didn't respond to your message.

Well, regardless, it's all taken care of. Thanks for the heads up!

Back in 30 minutes!
