Hi all (if this is the wrong place please feel free to move it whereever it should be).
I've been thinking about my game, and I've been debating using a seperate scene for cutscenes.
Here's a mockup of what I mean;
So my question is, can something like this work better for some games than others. Personally I suck at doing character actions in events, and I know this sort of idea works well for visual novels. but in a game could something like this work, or is it better to stick to the usual tried and true methods of cutsceneing?
I'm genuinely curious.
EDIT
I don't think I explained very well.
For a game that is focused on story, more than gameplay, could using a visual novel style for important cutscenes (ie, what drives the story), but normal on map dialogue remains on map, like if your talking to a shop keeper or non big plot cutscenes.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
