[VX] Message after New Game

New Game Message
By: Lonelyelf

Intro
This is my first script, so be easy on me. Of course, it's not too useful, but it works! This script is to add a message after the player selects New Game in the title menu. Several customizations are included.

Ok I'm confused, so when the player clicks "New Game" that message shows up?

If so that would be extremely useless, unfortunately, since the player can much easily setup and event or picture.

Anyways, this will at least get your foot in the game. ^.^

It is obviously useless, but you never know. It shows a message after the user selects New Game. It can delete the background or save it.

I find it useful. Change the text it says, and it saves you a bit of time! Nice for your first one! Apparently it must work, so I'll try it!

Thanks. I've tried a few other Ideas, but I guess scripting isn't my thing.

:P

I completely disagree. I've never seen anyone make this script before, so your unique at least.lol
And although many people may not actually use it, you at least made a script, which you should be proud of, and who knows...People are finding wierd purposes for things all the time in RPG Maker. It may seem useless know, but you'de be suprised.

Good work.  :thumb:

More critique!

Wow.

Good Word  :thumb:

You could say: "Where do you want to save your new game?"
or "Are you sure you want to begin a new game?" .
It could be  the beginning or intro of your story, so you don't need to make a complicated event with self switch and such! It prevens lag on your map!

I like it. And it's without glitches. Super first script, LonelyElf!

Greetz, Axules :hat:
