Check every Friday for a new entry. We know it's a little early for This Week in Business, but Brendan's travelling to Montreal for MIGS next week and probably won't be able to fit in a column around that, so he figured he may as well double-up this week with two columns.

I don't think that we'll ever see pre-rendered cutscenes go away permanently. As in-engine rendering improves, AAA games will likely move away from pre-rendered cutscenes but AAA games are far from the only games that use cutscenes and have engines that can render high quality cinematic visuals (e.g. high resolution high quality character models performing high quality animations and visual effects).

I have a field: @type(CCString) _scene_default = ""; I want to make it possible to drag a SceneAsset object into this field, selecting and displaying only its name parameter in it (with the ability to serialize the name as a string and use it in the game). What is the possibility to solve this problem? I don’t need serialization of the scene itself, since the scene will be loaded dynamically in the future by its name.

@StudioAMK As i said before, I already created one dummy scene with just one splash-sprite and no script attached at all. And mark that scene as launch scene in my current project, still game is taking 5-6 second to launch. and i am not redirecting from that scene to any new scene (No initialisation, nothing). I just created for testing purpose so thats why I am saying there is something which is miss out from engine point of view.
