Awkward Intro.

Well the intro is one of the most important part of a game, and mine always seem wrong. I just can't seem to get it right, you click new game, and suddenly your flown into a world where people start talking :p

So, can anyone give me any tips on creating cutscenes?

A slow fade effect into the intro.

Zxmelee made a video tutorial for it.

Use a cutscene, look at demos of RMXP games for examples

Use a parallel process event that instantly (0 frames transition time) tints the screen black. Now, there you go. Make a nice intro with some talking, music, credits, legends, etc. and/or whatever comes to your mind. You can just continue using this parallel process event.

Don't use auto-start in this case, because parallel process starts working as soon as you open the map while auto-start waits until the usual transition is over before it starts processing. If this confuses you, just try it out how it will work as auto-start and you will see what I mean.
