I post this here since the "Games and Creation" is for playable stuff.. Well actually you click play on a video.. does that makes it "playable" ? Well anyway let's get to the point. Lately I have have been creating a little youtube cartoon repurposing the game code and characters. Since the code I wrote to handle cutscenes was pretty solid It was not so hard to do. What you see in the videos is 100% recorded gameplay, except the end credits that I add on edit.

Seems pretty charming so far! I've been meaning to add functionality for cutscenes in my own game, maybe I should research how it's done.
This is just my own opinion, but since the style of it is still very clearly an RPG, maybe it might be worth leaning into it a bit more? Of what I've seen so far, the stories don't really play into it at all, they just sort of happen in that world.

Thank you Bobbie I am happy you like it. About making it with more RPGish content, well I let it out on purpose at the beginning making the "character stay out of character" but I wonder if this is still the case.. I'll think about this.
Also since you said you want to add some cutscene to your game I thought to share the logic of mine, maybe it might help you. So I have patched up a simple example hopefully It might be of some help.
Usually the ways to add cutscenes are: only graphical, just put stuff and text on screen, is good and quick for simple ones. Or with a cutscene manager if you have many and complex ones. I use the latter. Give it a look

Aw thanks for this! My current engine is a bit of a mess in terms of how dialogue and NPCs work, so I might need to rework it with queues in mind.
