As first cutscene you mean the handless pangolin babies right not the "Stolen Space"? The jam allowed and even encouraged AI usage so we used AI but I know and understand why people don't like AI usage.
If you mean the babies we just rolled with it pretending pangolin babies don't have hands :)
Btw you should play Gilgamish game (Mythic Battles: Judgement of the Gods) , It has the best voice over I have seen so far in the jam
