Hello hello! I'm working on my project, Heavenly Soul, and I'd like to make some custom scene transitions but I'm not sure how. I've looked through a lot of tutorials but I don't know exactly what to look for. Right now, when I switch to another scene of the game, the screen just fades to and from black during the transition. I would like to learn how to instead do one of two things:

1: Use a splash image. Similar to the splash images used in Amnesia; Memories, if any of you have played that and know what I mean. I love the cute images they use when transitioning to a different scene in that game and would like to try something similar.

2: Creating a custom animated transition. I use hexagons as a motif a lot in Heavenly Soul and I think it would be cool to create an animated transition where a hexagonal pattern splashes across the screen and then fades away to the next scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJNJtRTJ2IE <- Something similar to this (though I doubt my version would look nearly as pretty).

I found a Creative Commons thread for free-to-use transitions that are all custom made! Maybe the coding for them will help you develop your hexagonal patterned one

Yes, you want image dissolve transitions.

You will also find some demonstrations on the Ren'Py tutorial game.

SuperLexxx, there is an example of an image transition in the code that I wrote for you for Heavenly Soul...it is in the place where the MC opens her eyes after falling off the roof. That can be a starting spot for your own work on image transition.

Oh, an image dissolve! Yes, that's what I've been looking for, I just didn't realize it. Thank you!

Trooper, I just looked through my old files and I see yes, that transition you included was one. Been a while since I looked through that file. I will use that as a jumping off point for my custom transition. Thanks a bunch!
