heyy! i wanted to ask if it’s possible to make a horror game with animated cutscenes, similar to until dawn, but without QTEs or choices. you will also be able to walk freely between cutscenes to do tasks, then enter another cutscene
here’s a game with an animated cutscene, i’ll do something like this but with parts that let you move Cutscene Demo - Roblox
i want to know if roblox can handle this well because i don’t really know how could i do it and if anyone has experience or advice with this kind of project i’d appreciate your help. i’m planning on using moon animator. thanks!
No, it is absolutely impossible and has never been before

Ignore their generally unhelpful comment.
Yes they are possible, they have been done for many years.
It’s done by tweening a part that the camera is on. I’ve worked on games (Unreleased) that had it. I’d google it if I were you.

thanks for your help! i was hoping this would be possible, it’ll probably take me a lot of time though. i have to add the character dialogues, change their face decals during the animations, and handle a lot of other stuff
Holaa, Claro que si se puede, pero con ciertas limitaciones y dificultades, Si cuentas con moon animator será mil veces más fácil, Pero ten en cuenta que no se pueden animar objetos 3D y o Vfx, osea si se puede, pero en el juego como tal, tu no las Vaz a poder ver, eso toca programarlo a mano, ya sea usando twensevice o CFrame, o clonando instancias en un keyframes específico por ejemplo, par que se vea un efecto de disparo. Es un poco tedioso y demorado, pero pues no es imposible

Además de que la forma más fácil o la que creo yo que es más fácil, es manejar las cutscenes por triggers, Si el jugador toca una part, se reproduce una cinemática, y cuando finaliza, le haces. Tp a otro trigger para que active una cinemática, de esta forma quedara muy lineal, y no habrá como variantes de cinemática a elección del jugador, pero pues yo pienso que es la forma más cencilla.

yeah, i was going to use moon animator. it kinda sucks that objects won’t be visible, but i don’t really mind. it’s mostly about the camera movement and character animations. thanks for the help!

yeah, i’ll make it so when the player touches a part, the cutscene starts. do you know if there’s a tutorial to make cutscenes like that with moon animator? i don’t know how to make them work exactly
Sii, te recomiendo que veas los tutoriales de YellowSabre, o utiliza esta plantilla de escenas
La plantilla fue creada por YellowSabre., yo utilizo una versión un poco modificada de esta, pero avisame si no la encuentras

Aunque pues también puedes utilizar un módulo de reproducción espesificamente para animaciones de Moon animator, pero ten en cuenta que te vas a complicar mucho más, Lo uníco bueno es que los módulos permiten que se vean las animaciones de objetos por ejemplo Parts (No solo en el reproductor de Moon, si no también en el juego), pero sinceramente no los he probado, y lo he indentado varias veces pero me parece un poco tedioso.

they’re being unhelpfully sarcastic, it is possible and has been done quite a bit, Roblox can normally handle it.

Everything (almost) is possible if you manage to figure out how to do it! I’m also working on a cutscene system i made by myself, its not cinematic but at least you should try too. Now i don’t quite know how to make it cinematic but you may wanna add two black frames to the cutscene, one of them to top and one of them to bottom like this:
You also need good sound effects, animations and camera movements. After that im pretty sure you will achieve your goal. Keep it up!

This may be extremely overengineered for most cases, but a few times I’ve used Event Sequencer in Inline mode for these types of things. It’s extremely powerful, managing things like full scene and lighting swap outs, including terrain. It also manages timing and synchronization of SFX, VFX and animations.
It needs some modification from the recommended path to make it run only on the client side, but once you do it’s great for many use cases.
