Messing with cutouts style cutscenes (midwest.social)

This is just a mock up where I was manually driving the camera.

I'm trying to figure if this is the right direction to go and if I should keep angling towards this 'noir' style.

Is that just some hand-drawn 2D cards? Looks good.

You should be careful about how you construct the cutscenes. Slow pans that can't be individually skipped get old fast.

Yeah they're just hand drawn cards.

My previous games had skippable cutscenes but it just skipped all of it if you pressed a key. I think this one will have a button that skips the current line, and a different button that will skip the entire scene.

Its going to take some figuring out, though.
