Despite it's creative name it serves a very useful purpose. Click on it! Now you should be looking at what I like to call the 'NPC' menu.
If you're perspective enough you should have noticed the 'NPC' tab on the very top right. But I assure you, It's not.Īllright, this should take long but what I say is going to be important. You seeing the problem here? You may think it's cool to have your hero say a badass one-liner before going into a mobster infested drug den. Imagine after you walk onto the boat Pardo begins telling you his life story. Now, remember when you were playing Dead Ahead for the first time. No matter how good you are at Hotline Miami, you've died before. However putting one before a combat level is bad for one main reason. After one is perfectly fine or putting one at the beggining but on a different floor with no enemies. NEVER PUT A CUTSCENE DOWN BEFORE A COMBAT LEVEL. You'll just learn from experience then.īefore I get down and dirty with very basic information, I feel like it's important to make a quick PSA.
Please read the entire guide before making a cutscene even quickly running through it and really only learning the bare minimum can work just fine. It is for that reason I feel like it's needed for me to tell you how to make a basic cutscene. Cutscenes can be a great way of storytelling and character building when done in the correct circumstance.
