I am making a rogue-like rpg, and I want to save the players progress in their profile. As no game progress is saved except unlocks and high scores, and each 'run' afterwards is different based on what you unlocked, the normal system of multiple save slots for one player is not needed. And in the same idea, if a new player using the same computer as a veteran player wants to, they can still work to unlock things by making their own profile (so this rules out just having one single auto-save for all players to share.).
In RMVXace terms, The 'profiles' would still be normal save game files. The only difference that makes them a profile rather than a save is that you will never get to choose when or where you save after you load a profile to play on. Selecting "new game" would automatically create a new save in an empty slot. And continue would just bring up a list of the saved games (profiles) already present. They don't need to save in a different folder, unless that helps make the profile functionality work better via the script.
Overview of Requested.
- New Scene allowing selection and creation of new profiles.
- Upwards of 4 Profile Slots. (More if the spacing on the window scene allows it.)
- Script to call profile scene from events.
- Script to save current game progress into the loaded profile via events.
- Player can choose the name of the profile when it is created.
- Displays 1 variable (or more info) along with the name of the profile. (Game Completion %, etc)
- Delete and copy profile functions. Confirm popup on delete (twice :p).
- Disallow saving over another profile, can only create new profile in empty slot.
- Just a note, the built in RMVX ACE title screen will be skipped/replaced by other means. Jumping straight to this profile menu after a map based title screen.
Thank you ahead of time if you decide to take on this script request.
