My project is story focused and will be updated every month with a new episode. I need a plugin that allows an episode menu to appear after the start screen menu and links each selection to a certain part of the game. This is how I want the players to interact with it:
New Game
The player selects "New Game" and is greeted with an episode select screen. Episode 1 will be the only one unlocked since they haven't progressed at all in the story. The player selects the episode and the game begins from the beginning.
Loaded Game
The player selects "Load Game" and is greeted with the same episode select screen except maybe they've already progressed to Episode 4. They will be able to resume their progress by selecting the 4th Episode. Once this player reaches the end of Episode 4, the game takes them back to the Episode select screen and they will have to select the 5th episode in order to play it. If this player wanted to go back to Episode 3, the game would ask if they wanted to go back to an earlier save point and warn that their progress for Episode 3 and up will be deleted. If they did, the plugin goes back to the beginning of Episode 3 and deletes the progress made from Episode 3 and up. (I'm also using Yanfly's new autosave plugin if that makes a difference.)
Here are a few layout ideas from other games:

I personally like the last one, but any of those are fine.
