Showing prologue before title screen

#1 Post by Coren »

Hi guys! I'm trying to figure out how to show a few scenes before the title screen (like the prologue in Fate/Stay Night) that will be skipped in subsequent gameplays after you finish reading through it the first time (but can still be re-read by accessing it through another button in the bonus room or something). How will you code that? Thanks!

Easiest way would prolly be a combination of splashscreen and persistent ending data.

Or you can put your prologue on the before_main_menu label.
