- This is, of course, all my opinion. Feel free to alter it to your liking! In this video, I show you how to make what I consider a good cutscene, and I talk about keeping your characters "alive" in a sense. Link to the project shown in this video: drive.google.c...

I cannot promote mine lol... it's got alcohol and.. green stuff.. and purple drank in it lol.. no word of a lie.
I don't mean purple lean, I mean full on robo-tripping.. and there will be a scene later where one of the protagonists
goes nuts from all the chaos going on and decides he ACTUALLY WANTS TO GO TO JAIL..\
So he goes into a gas station, freaks out and does an armed robbery .. He purposely leaves evidence and footprints to intentionally give away his whereabouts and The cops come get him and you lose that character for the rest of the game. during this mission you have to try and stop him.. You will fail no matter what, but it will still be a perplexing WTF level..
However I've made some uploads to youtube and made a playlist of the prototype (Which currently have a lot of obvious but ignorable mistakes, but hey: I'm learning) which is unlisted..
@@Pressplay_Media_EU drugs do be like that
and drugs r bad
@@TeamUnpro Yes it causes one of my characters to go nuts and rob a gas station lol
@@TeamUnpro this is why no matter how you play the level, you fail in the end and instead of dying you move onto the next level with someone else, cause this character is now in jail for rest of game
@@Pressplay_Media_EU Why do I feel like this is becoming a RUclips simulator
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.
Agreed, a way around this would be a text system that makes textboxes appear above the sprite
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
@@Pressplay_Media_EU I believe you are talking about a Visual Novel, and there are people that do VNs in RPG Maker. They can be quite dynamic
*5:00*
Plot twist, the princess was Therese all along!
Its true!
I just noticed it! Lel
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
Yeah for sure; I'd love to have a persona style artist to do some portraits
Next : how make an even more awesome cutscene
lol
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
How do you make those black bars? They add such a nice cinematic effect.
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. >_>
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?
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?
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."
Nice. Pretty good! do you know how to make event with day and clock?
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
I need a tutorial for this tutorial...
Pretty sure it exists on yt at this point
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?
I make the player invisible :)
@@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
@@TeamUnpro Sweet! Thanks for the quick response!
@@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
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
Around minute 5:00 theres a text box with the princess image saying YAY but with the name of Theresa... U can correct it if the game is published
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
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?
haven't used it but it seems quite nice
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. 😁😁😁😄😃😃😃😄😁
Oh whoops, I didn't see this video before I commented on the last. Thanks for the helpful tips. :D
another great tutorial, thanks.
Just yes!
How did he get the text to display each letter at a time
It's default for the RPG Makers above XP
You are amazing!
YOU are amazing
Can someone explain how to add the black bars on the outside ring?
very carefully
also whats an outside ring
@@TeamUnpro The term I was actually looking for was Borders.
@@Cry_ct it's an image; basically you just display the picture the same way you normally would
@@TeamUnpro Oh, thank you.
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...
@@173actualpeanut thanks, still havent tried ^^
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.
how do you make the black bar and
Good idea making it a download
Rpg maker tutorials again!!!
Yes, my friend
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.
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.
Ah, my apologies, yes that's correct
TheUnproPro Thanks alot! And I assume if you put centre instead of top left, negative x would be going to the left and negative y would be going down.
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
i try to get that color but is imposible xD
the project file is in the description, download it and take a look :)
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.
+Ispguy Oohh....okay! thx!
Can You Tell Me How To Make The Black Bars?
Is It A Picture?
Or Is It Something Else?
The black bars are in fact pictures
TheUnpropro Thanks!
How do you get those panning effects over the map?
Theres an event command called "Scroll Map" :)
"pepole" is already plural.
Forgot an apostrophe it’s people’s not peoples
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?
@@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.
Rip/ :/ That really sucks, @@plumbobdan9150 but aye~ not a big deal I've actually gotten really good at RM since then and may get back into making vids when I have the time
@@TeamUnpro Yeah it's a shame that it's broken, but the video still works ;D I know myself and many others would love you to get back into making videos, we all need your expertise aha.
@@plumbobdan9150 Glad to hear it :) Yeah, I'm actually rendering a video rn, its about bringing life to a map
hey, how to end the cutscene?
Control Self Switch -> A -> Turn On,
After that click "New Page" at the top of your event and in the conditions on the left, select "Self Switch" and select A.
thanks man, i feel so dumb, its very easy (sorry for possibles english mistakes, my english is very bad)
No its okay :)
I just turn them into face graphics
I'm too dumb for anything...
Don't say that
What makes you think that?
@@TeamUnpro i said it wrong, its more like, nothing is working. No music i'm putting in is showing up, The characters stay transparent after a cutscene, People don't spawn or don't do what i say etc.
@@TeamUnpro well i got it halfway working now... just a question; how did you make the animated characters of the fairy?
@@TeamUnpro nevermind, found it.
@@TeamUnpro uuh, welp, i can't find it. lmao
ugh...i was hoping for a technical tutorial. writing a scene is different than making a cut-scene.i just waste dlkje 20 mins watching these and learned nothing about MAKING a cut-scene.
To be fair it doesn't say tutorial and at the beginning it says "The making of".
Wait I just watched a bit of this video again how have you learned 'nothing'? One theres a download in the description and two I go over exactly how the cutscene is made.
First xD
