Can I create a scene that will always be the first one to appear when the player enters the game?

#1 Post by nanashine »

Well, first of all, sorry for making SO many questions lately hah

What I want to know, is if it's possible to create a scene that will show up whenever the player enters the game.

For example, the person launches the game. Before they can start playing again, a scene of a character saying "Welcome back to the game" would show up, and then the person can play the game where they stopped.
Something like this.

Is it possible?
Thanks.

Pure conjecture:
I imagine you could edit how the game loads saved files to include a call to a short scene.

How you would do it, I couldn't say.

... # some content... ( I guess a 'return' at the end should continue where the save was - never tried it though )
