Introducing Cut-Scene’s !

So this past week I decided to finally connect up all the little pieces I had been making that could support a cut-scene and combine them into a single configurable location.

This little video is a quick demonstration of the majority of features currently possible in cut-scene’s:

• JSON driven like the rest of the game; requiring no knowledge of the code itself.
• Story window display
• Camera scroll/pan over any map using pre-defined path
• Adding/Moving characters on the map
• Placing “bubble” text above character head
• Adding/Manipulating light sources
• Add/Remove/Swap of specific layers
• Use of sound (and music, although not in this demo)
• Opening and display of conversations using main window.
• Placement of sprite animations (firewall)
• Screen fading

If you’re interested in what the JSON code looks like, you can check it out here:

And finally, here’s the video itself. Enjoy !
