I like the cutscene, but as a bit of criticism I would say having only a single line to put in dialogue is a bit limiting. A lot of the flow gets lost when you need to spread a sentence across two lines. I would definitely recommend two if not three lines of space to allow speech to flow the way you want it to.
If you wanted, you could make an entire game out of cutscenes.. Just press start and the game autonomously plays itself.. A videogame for people who prefer watching a game over actual playing .. lazy people y'know? lol You could call it a 32-bit Anime xD
I haven't been working on RPG Maker for a while, but this video really caught my attention, and honestly, I'm not surprised. You always have great informative videos that look clean and interesting. Keep up the great work. :)
Great pro tips! This was almost professional-level cutscene making! Really show what you can do with RPG Maker. :) On another note, I really like these little character emotes you made, but I do believe you could do something good with character portraits. Something akin to SMT/Persona perhaps... Now, granted, having Photoshop and knowing how to draw actual manga characters DO help a lot when you're doing this! xD
amazing details...job well done!! can start to feel the actual emotions in all the Characters. cool... I've got a lot of thinking and work cut out for me!! Dam...not sure how I'm going to make a good cutscene though inside an Orphanage with giving a paper (Pic} form to the head lady there to adopt 2 children with an evil man who actually kidnaps them back to his experimental lab!! lol
Let me ask you something. When you are making a cutscene like that, you use the player as the character in the cutscene or make player invisible and use other events to be the player character?
@@TeamUnpro Alright so I've reached a point where I wanna try and focus on making cutscene like this. But I'm not sure how to do the whole, clone actor thing. (I have 2 .json files already, one for gameplay and another for the actors already made!) But I mean like, controlling characters other than just Kolbalt. (My main character) also! How would we make it so the event deletes itself after playing once? Cause I dont want people to have to repeatedly go through the same thing over and over, which wouldnt make sense, whenever they have to go down a hall to do something else. Could you help at all with showing this all in a video? I'll keep ya updated though on if I manage to figure it out though
The black bars , that tinting and the text message really adds something to the scene along the way you play the scene. how do you feel about using the black bars with the traditional message window and facesets?
Sadly I dont have MV only VXAce, so I cant open up your project to figure out the little things, but I would like to learn this effect so bad... :/ Is there a way, that you can convert it to an Ace project aswell, please? :/
Ah sorry about that, I really should have done that... I might be doing a stream today (Might, depends on if I have time) and if I do I'll demonstrate it there with VX Ace :) I'll also upload that part as a highlight
Thanks so much for making this video! Even though I'm really late to the party. xD Of course you need comedic relief in every single scene. Says it right here in the Marvel Studios playbook. >_>
I feel like i put way too much thoughts into what I want my intro to be, then I end up frustrating myself and scrapping the whole thing...as usual tho your vids always help
UnproPro, what do you think of RPG Maker MV's Gene scene builder? I bought it and I've been using it for a bit and it seems like a decent program. Do you have any experience with it?
The black bars are pictures overlayed using the show picture command. As for the emotes above their heads, those are Balloon Icons, you can display them through events as well :)
Good video with good tips, but you make a mistake with the dialog I see in so many cutscenes - splitting sentences across multiple text windows. Go back and read your dialog out loud. Act it out. It sounds like William Shatner in full on Captain Kirk mode. "Your king wouldn't" "let us have it, so we had no other choice. Peoples" "lives depend on that gem."
Sorry I could of watch the vid 2 years ago but I didn't know this game until last year but this help me so much and I subscribe,liked, and turn notifications on. 😁😁😁😄😃😃😃😄😁
Hey, I have a question. What's the x and y axis based on? The tiles or is it something else? And is it centered on the camera view on the player or is on the entire map?
x refers to the horizontal position of any given object, this includes the camera. y refers to the vertical location :) 0x and 0y are the very top-left possible. Starts top left, and positive increments for x will place the object further to the right, while negative values for the x will place it more left. Positive y is more down, and negative y is more up. X/Y can refer to literally everything on the screen :) EDIT: As for what its based on, I'm not sure what you mean
TheUnproPro I mean if, Eg. X=5 That 5 is based off the width of the map so if the total width is 50 it will be the 5th horizontal block out of the 50 blocks.
Can you make a more in-depth video on this other than directing us to the description? Like, I am not sure if you're still working on this game, but the next cutscene you decide to create for whatever reason, can you just record it with you explaining exactly how to make it in the background? It would get done either way.
If you're gonna have scenes like that in your game might wanna think about putting in a skip. Especially if said cutscene is right before a difficult boss.
@@TeamUnpro You can download it successfully, but when opening it in RPGMV all that occurs is an error message saying "Unable to read file Actors.json". It doesn't actually open any aspect of the game itself, so you can't observe to see how you did it.

Agreed, a way around this would be a text system that makes textboxes appear above the sprite

@@TeamUnpro So make the "character" invisible, and just throw in a "clone" kind of for the cutscene? Interesting.
yes, this gives you free control over the camera and the player at the same time

how do you make the black bar and
5:00 Princess talking but says Therese ! Sorry for pointing that out! :P
Gosh dangit, I thought I fixed all the name errors xD KNEW there was one left! :P thanks lol
Yeah this is something I'm probably going to never achieve in RPG Making....
Either way, Nice Tutorial.
You can achieve --so-- much more than this. How intereted are you in Programming?
How did you add the black bars and the camera movement and the expressions on the top of their heads, I am very new to RPG maker
The black bars are pictures overlayed using the show picture command. As for the emotes above their heads, those are Balloon Icons, you can display them through events as well :)
TeamUnpro thanks, how do you make individual characters move at the same time
+TheUnproPro is it an option to show an invisible "face" and putting battle sprite emote in the absence of face?
@@Nagytika Yes, but you would need to tamper with the game files and get the right dimensions. I believe the dimensions are 576 x 384...

another great tutorial, thanks.
I cannot decide what is the melody bubble means...is it that the guy humms or whistle or...?
The melody bubble usually means a character is in a good mood.

how do you make to add that contrast in the cutscene? i try everithing but i cant xD (nice video!)
its the tint screen option

If you're gonna have scenes like that in your game might wanna think about putting in a skip. Especially if said cutscene is right before a difficult boss.
A skip scene option is always a good choice imo
Or least a save point so losing the battle doesn't mean re-watching the cutscene.
But then if the player wanna backtrack he'd lose the save file, unless you add an option to quit right after the save.
Just yes!
the files is corrupt can you upload again please :(
It wouldn't be possible. I don't have the original files anymore. Whats happening when you try to download it?
