Hey! I have seen other people projects with really cool cutscenes. I wish to add some to my game. Can someone Please help?

Welcome to the forums!
How I make cutscenes is this:
Make an object on the interface, go to sprites and make some animations (maybe scale it to whatever is comfortable), go to coding and use the sizing + animation codes and make something activate them. If you need an example, I’d be happy to help
I’ve made cutscenes before. The animation part I’d say is harder than the coding part. I too can help with those if you’d like
An example would be great thanks for the help.

Would you need it sorta comic style, foreshadow-ish (like Legend of Zelda explaining the lore), or like a full moving scene with characters interacting?
Just a simple screen with text with a growing circle from the edges going to the center turning everything dark.

Like do you want in-game cutscenes or something like that? You’re going to have to move everything and activate everything manually instead of animating a actual cutscene (since that would take hours). Just make separate objects and code them for what you want them to do in the cutscene. Or do you want a kinda like slide show type cutscene? If thats the case, thats really simple. Simply make a dialogue box, code the dialogue, and make a large sprite the size of the game canvas and put the cutscene images there and make it sync to the dialogue. I can maybe help you code this, but its gonna take a while. And I can’t right now.
Hope this helps.

Dude what the flip… Thats got to be the worst way of doing cutscenes. I feel bad for you ngl. Please save your time and use a different way 
(just so that I don’t start a arguement, I am joking)

I’d say it is because of how time-consuming it is. The final results are pretty good though

Wouldn’t you have to add the ground and the sky, and even add the characters pixel by pixel?!?! That sounds like they could use that on me for mental torture.

All of that. I do it though to pass time, yet some of the time it’s stressful

Ok, no more off topic

Agreed (btw there are still timers and pauses to keep some frames in place)
Something like this? (Sorry if it’s not an animation, just a little concept of the circles moving closer to the center)
