Oh, so this is the bug that's holding you back?... That you posted in the expo thread?

Unfortunately, it may very well be a problem with the alpha. I haven't had any problems with Overworld dialog, and I've been adding a lot of dialog lately...

Simple for the designer... maybe not as simple for the player. For me, it's pretty easy once I make the first screen, then Paste All to the other screens and add layers.

Well actually, it is pretty easy for them. If they want to skip through, they hold down. And even if they accidentally press down, they won't suddenly end up on the pit and miss the cutscene. Even so, I'm going to give the play a choice to see it again once the cutscene is over, left will let them view it all again, right leaves the cutscene. It's just as easy as pressing A, just might take half a second longer.

Well, I'm pretty well off good with Time warps. . .

Here's a cutscene I made awhile back in the manor of using Tic - Warps and other warps.

Timing a cut-scene is the hardest thing to do, especially if you want to conserve space. There's just no real way to do it. I found a equation to reduce the number of frames in animations, but it unfortunatelt doesn't work with combo-cycling . I've gotten close that both follow the same speed, but the're off by 1 frame mostof the time. The other time is completely off. So, you're gonna have to waste space...for now.

What is you want to make an actual cool lookink background can you do that? Like for my GS quest?
