Can games be updated after the jam?

I was reading through the rules and it stated that you cannot add new content to the game during the competition. Once it is over, can we then update it with more content?

- if you are participating in the petite mort : it is strictly forbidden to do any change during the voting period

- if you're participating in the grand guignol : it is allowed

- once the voting period ends, you're free to do whatever you want

I will be participating in the grand guignol, and my main question was about after the voting period. But you answered it, so thanks for responding!

I'm extending one of my past petite mort games out into a much larger one at the moment. (I think it's currently sitting at ~70k words so much longer and with more images, saves, paths etc). The games are yours to do with as you wish after the comp is over. The no updates thing is I think to honor the speed writing idea of the 4 hour category. You're meant to try and design a game you can write in that time, then put down the keyboard and hope for the best :)

The 4 hour limit is for the petite port category, I think. I'm hoping to go for the grand guignol, which would be more than 4 hours! But thanks for your response anyway :)
