So I'm gonna be offering to help make what I like to think are RPG Maker cutscenes for RMVX.
Some examples of what I am talking about are below.
Examples
Example 1
There is a whole bunch of events being used for this one, it normally runs fine, but combining a screen recorder with the scene made it look laggy. It's normally a lot better than the vid makes it out to be
Example 2
Again it's laggy as all hell because my computer doesn't function well with recording and processing, it's normally smooth.
Example 3
This one was done in my unofficial game in 10 hours project, it can use a little more polish, but I'm happy with what I achieved from only a 15 minute job, this includes the opening scene. I think I could do better if I am given the time
Check the bottom of the post for an project which will show some more events (and the two events above, but not laggy >_>).
How it Works You describe to me what you want to see happen, in detail. This includes how many people/monster/whatever are in it (doesn't need to be a specific number) and what the player is doing.
If I like your idea, I'll let you know that I'm happy to do it. If this is the case, you'll need to transfer the maps (that I need to make the scene for) onto a new project; also including a transition map (if any). [A transition map is the map that the player transfers from to the event scene.] And any music that you wanted to be used.
Once done, you send that new project to me and I get underway.
I send it back to you once I'm done. Simple, right?
Conditions I'm doing this when I have free time to do so. Don't expect your request to be fulfilled instantly.
We really need some differnt terms for what this is cause I dont think it fits and I been doing this for to long lol. First off I like your EVENTS, but isnt that just what your doing? Really good events... When someone tell me they can ADD cutscenes to a game I ALWAYS think a video, thats just me, maybe im wrong. But since the entire game is run on events shouldn't this be said in different terms??
And doesnt ACE have a movie function now, so you can actually add real cutscenes now?? Id be much more interested in the movies since Ive never even seen a person try and do them.
That is true, but notice how the post says that it's for RPG Maker VX
I'm not really sure what a better name for the topic would be though, it really is just a bunch of events thrown together to make a cinematic like scene (ie no player control).
I always think of videos when I associate the term cutscene as well, unless it's for RPG Maker, still though you are correct. I'll change it

Well dont get me wrong its a important skill, but dont you think you could put that time into making real videos for games? like i said I never seen anyone do it...but I do it lol, I just havent posted it yet cause im waiting for my prize lol, ANYWAYS I think that would make more sense but by all means its not a easy thing to make good events so do whatever is fun for you
