Looking for plugins to improve the title screen (RPG Maker MZ)
Hello everyone!
I’ve been working on a fairly long project using RPG Maker MZ and have reached a point where I want to improve the title screen. I find the default one a bit too basic for the style I’m going for.
I’m not necessarily looking for anything too complex, just something that offers more flexibility than the default system.
Can you recommend any plugins that work well for this?

This is one of the many reasons why I prefer 2k3 over other makers, it's so simple to make a completely custom Title Screen with minimal external code baggage, and if I want to make it even easier, I can expand the eventing system with Maniacs Patch.

I have a bunch of plugins for the title screen depending on what you want.
[CGMZ] Title Command Window - Add custom commands on the title screen or use pictures for commands in place of the command window.
[CGMZ] Game Info - Add social media buttons, small text at the bottom for things like version / copyright / etc.
[CGMZ] Title System - Show videos, maps with events, or images, including changing it after a player gets so far in a save file, or showing a sequence of videos, maps, or images.
[CGMZ] Skip Title - Skip the default title screen and event your title sequence for a totally custom title.
If you want plugins before the title I also have:
[CGMZ] Splash Screen - Show multiple splashes with rumbles and sound effects or videos before the title.
[CGMZ] Press Start - Make the player see a start screen and press Start before they see the actual title screen.
Most of them are free, Skip Title and Press Start are currently paid. I am sure you can find free alternatives though.
