HIT YOUR MARK

Every take is yours. Every cut is yours. The film they see is your Director's Cut.

Your takes are the footage. You play each stunt take yourself, then cut those exact takes together in the edit bay, and the film only works if continuity matches across your cuts. Then it premieres, replayed from what you actually played.

Hollywood, 1930s. You are Rex "Dash" Markham, the stunt double who does the falls the star won't. A casting office renamed him "Rex" because it sounded like a leading man; he is still waiting for the leading part. On a miniature backlot, you shoot dangerous takes for a director who shouts through a megaphone.

Every take is footage, not a life. Fall off the clock tower? That fall is still film. In the edit bay you pick the best moment of each take and splice them into one cut. Continuity is the puzzle: a missing hat or a different jump between two shots is an error the audience will see, unless you hide it with an insert shot.

Then the lights go down, and your cut plays back as a real movie, built from the exact takes you played.

How to play

1. Shoot: run the stunt route. Hit the glowing marks on time.
2. Edit: choose one take per beat, place the cuts, hide errors with inserts.
3. Screen: watch your Director's Cut.

Start with the Screen Test, a short tutorial.

Made for the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam

Theme: Director's Cut. Solo entry by José Miguel Gómez (Trysac), built in Unreal Engine 5.8 with a crew of AI agents that I directed. Before the jam we prepared generic tools (agent configurations, MCP setup, scripts, prompt templates). Between the theme announcement and the start of the jam we brainstormed and wrote the design documents (text only: the spec, a draft script and text descriptions of the level layouts), which became the agents' specification and prompt library. No development started before the jam: all code, levels, art and audio were created during it. The full process, mistakes included, is in the dev log: Director's Commentary.

The game build is coming before the end of the jam (Sunday, November 15).
