It's a serious good idea to add cutscenes to some parts of the game.

[glossy root]

I think cutscenes are really cool... cutscenes from the game's story, for example when you enter in a new world or when hardmode starts and some other parts.

[honest swift]

cutscenes in this doesnt make sense

[untold lodge]

^

terraria is a sandbox, story just happens to also be there

[honest swift]

lore and story was more or less to make the fans happy

[kind dock]

I think cutscenes is a great idea, a cool cutscene could be when you throw a guide vodoo doll into lava then the guide appears as a black figure and then lights on fire and grows into a fleshy monstrosity.

[untold lodge]

That sounds

Bad

[kind dock]

Why?

[untold lodge]

Ok

Read your question

And think of Hoe that could look good

How*

[kind dock]

Have you played BOTW?

I intend on making a point, im not just trying to switch conversations.

Have You Played BOTW?

[untold lodge]

No

But botw is also a story driven game

Terraria isnt

[fervent magnet]

Cutscenes would be a great idea. i imagine a cutscene for every message like "The ancient sprits of light and dark have been released" showing an animation of the surface getting hallowd and "Screams echo from the dungeon" showing the dungeon, then shaking the screen as you hear screams faintly. more cutscenes would be a close-up of a planterra bulb and pretty much one for every boss spawning :/

[honest swift]

but why, what purpose do cutscenes have in a open world survival game

[untold lodge]

slowing the game by having you watch a cutscene

[glossy root]

Skip cutscene: I don't exist 😔

[untold lodge]

I think a cutscene breaks gameplay in a bad way

it'd be better if the bosses had a spawn animation rather than a cutscene

[glossy root]

Cutscenes are not cool in bosses, but in some moments, such as when creating a new world or when entering hardmode.

Like if you enter hardmode a cutscene appears, showing souls being freed and creating new monsters and ores in the world.

[untold lodge]

ehh

thats annoying sounding and weird

[honest swift]

for once I agree with megal

[kind dock]

Spawn animation is what i meant.

[kind dock]

Yes sounds good.

Also sorry that i just suddenly left the conversation, im a busy person and sometimes i have to abruptdedly leave discord.

[kind dock]

And BTW what i was saying is that it would bee cool for when the WOF appears that the guide would teleport in front of you like how link teleports in BOTW except instead of it being blue it would be black and instead of it turning into the guide it would turn into a shadowey version of the guide and then it would grow into the WOF.

But i got confused with spawn animations and cutscenes, cutscenes don't sound good but spawn animations do.

[untold lodge]

The guide telporting in front of you sounds just

Bad

[granite rapids]

i think itd be pretty cool actually

[kind dock]

Thanks, it's nice to have someone on the server that doesnt constantly say crap about peoples ideas.

[granite rapids]

yeah and if people dont like cutscenes or stuff like that it could always be an option to turn it off

[kind dock]

Yes, i wish that games would have more settings.

Like i wish dead cells had a disable swear option.

[plush galleon]

wait, would the black fade when turning into the WOF or just, snap into the colour???

[kind dock]

It would fade.

[plush galleon]

Then i support the idea

[kind dock]

Thank you.

Terraria is not a story driven game. So cutscenes in a non story driven game does sound weird and will not fit with the game

[granite rapids]

it kinda is

not like a fully story driven game

but it does have a story and imo cutscenes would be really cool

so if anything it would be an option to enable

[proper plover]

Yeah, being able to turn it on or off would be good.

[plush galleon]

True, but because the game is in 3d, It makes the larger mobs and bosses spawning more wonkier because of how big they are in this terraria, so I think having spawn animations/transitions will make the spawning look much more smoother.

[proper plover]

animations I can agree with.

[dry mango]

Like in Infernium? Cool idea.

[worn thunder]

The Guide isn't the wall of flesh. Redigit said that all of the 'guide family tree lore' is a joke and not to be considered official lore.

[kind dock]

After you defeat the WOF the guide will say "i wonder why my predecesor spontaniously burst into flames. i hope it doesnt happen to me.".

So the guide is WOF.

[worn thunder]

If you know about Voodoo Dolls, you'll know that whatever you do to a voodoo doll, you do to the person it's meant to be. That is why he says that. Him being thrown into lava would cause him to burst into flames. Although a sacrificial cutcene or animation would be interesting.

[kind dock]

so i just went to the wiki and it turns out that the guide being the WOF was most likely a joke from red. i guess that was already said but i just didnt beleive it.

[thin ether]

You could do it the way that Half-Life 2 does it and make the cutscenes occur during the game rather than be cinematics, allowing for player movement and action.

[untold lodge]

This would be good

especially since when summoning a boss you often buff up
