Thanks Ville, I actually constantly post stuff in the Chat (easier than posting in the forum) but I should report here a bit more regularly too... Anyway here is what I've been working on lately, it's a... cutscene system! Here is a first working sketch version:

(it's a video with sound)
It's just a bunch of placeholders for now but I was just testing what exactly can I do with it (both technically and otherwise, for example how can I crop the characters etc).
Right now the framerate is a bit low so the effects look very bad + some of the effects are not aligned... for example every time a speaker changes there should be a transition, but I didn't define it properly so it only happens a few times in the video + when it actually happened the frames got dropped from that part.
So far I implemented:
Effects: New speaker effect, screen shake effect
Sound: Every new paragraph can play a sound effect (table slam! shock explosions!)
Background: each paragraph can set a new image
Various text effects etc...
I'll post a proper video in a few days hopefully, with real ingame characters, backgrounds and proper sound effects. (will just update this post)
