Creating and using scenes

During the heat of a live session, changing the background, playing a new song, adjusting the ambient rain sound, and placing three monsters on the screen can require a lot of manual clicking.Scenes in Dice Queen solve this problem by bringing all of these elements together into a single smart trigger actionable in 1 click.

What is a scene?

A Scene works as an automatic package that ties together:

1. Background: The main illustration or scenery of that moment.
2. Main soundtrack: The theme song for that situation (e.g. boss battle).
3. Continuous ambience sound: The audio in a complementary loop (e.g.: electrical storm).
4. Pre-positioned portraits: Which characters or NPCs should appear immediately to the left and right of the stage.
5. Visual effects or opening cutscene: Introductory video that precedes the scene.

How to create a new scene

1. In the “Scenes” section of Behind the Scenes, click ”[+ New scene]”.
2. Give a memorable name (e.g. “Ambush in the Dark Forest”, “Throne Hall”).
3. Select the desired components using the visual wizard:

• Choose the corresponding background;
• Link the musical track and the sound ambiance;
• Mark which characters and monsters should enter the scene immediately.

4. Save the scene.

Enabling live scenes

In Stage Mode, your finished Scenes are highlighted at the top of the narrative column:

• Clicking on the Scene performs the synchronized transition of all elements at the same time: the background changes, the music starts playing and the portraits assume their positions on the stage and in Transmission Mode.
• This frees the narrator from the operational burden to focus 100% on the engaging description of the story!
