Cinematic intro (example provided)

[Voxel Knight]

I would like to play a introductory movie when a user selects 'new game'.

I'm not talking about a cutscene made with events, see example below.

Example cutscene

Thank you!

Place the player on an empty map as starting option, set it to transparent in the database/system


Make an autorun event on that empty map that uses the event command "play movie" (third event commands page) to display the movie you made with another program (needs to be created as an OGV video file).


After the movie command, transfer the player to the real starting map and turn transparent off.


If you don't know how to make that video - there are several programs for video creation, that's something we can only give very limited advice here.

Thanks for your reply.

After the movie plays the map is loaded and then the character is shortly after, that bothers me a little.

I'm trying to get it so the character and map load at the same time; the character randomly appearing on the map is breaking the game's immersion for me :/

Any ideas?

Fade out, transparency off, Fade in

Got it, thank you!

You can also go to Database > System and check 'Transparent ON' then your character isn't visible from the start until you create a 'change transparency' event.

For the next time
