Game Making Help Needed

Hello person who decided to read this! (wow… best greeting ever). Okay anyway, as you could see by the title I need some help. I have a quick game in the works for a science project and there are a few things I need assistance with.

  1. Is there a way that I can put cut-scenes or animations in between scene transitions? What I’m trying to go for is an intro cut-scene to the main menu that reveals the selections (play, instructions, etc.) when it finishes. (hopefully you can understand what I’m trying to get at here) Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J60GfR6qvoE

  2. Seeing that I’m doing like a quiz sort of game, is there a way that I can “make something happen” like an explosion when the player gets a question wrong or stars when they get it right?
    -What I’m also hoping to do is add in a sort of health bar like “system” so each time the player gets a question wrong, the platform cracks a bit until eventually it crumbles; GAME OVER.
    Example:
    0 wrong (game just started)



    3-5 wrong


    …Too many wrong


    Note: Pictures do not resemble the quality of the game plus they belong to rightful owners of course

So yeah that’s what I’m hoping someone can help me out with. (If possible) video tutorials would be great or just some written steps would help too.

Thanks in Advance! :slight_smile:

How to do intros and cutscenes:



As for the cube smashing, have 2-3 different cubes with an overlay breaking texture, as the health property gets lower, the cubes replace each other to give the effect of damage. in the example blend, pressing space damages the cube, for the cubes flying everywhere just add cubes with velocity/force applied to them when your cube breaks.
