Dynamic Title 1.1
by Racheal
Introduction
This script changes the title screen based on a variable set in-game. This could be used, for example, to add a character to the title screen after you meet them.
Features
- Change the background, foreground, or both.
- Pull the variable from the latest save or the highest from all the saves.
- Use numbers corresponding to the variable for your images or set the names of the files you would like to use
How to Use
Insert the script anywhere in the Materials section above Main.

Author's Notes
Free for commercial and non-commercial use. Just credit me (and let me know if you use it, just because). There's really not too much to this script. Version 1.1 features increased compatibility with save systems thanks to estriole's tip.
As this is a script that modifies the save header, it will not work with saves created before this script was installed.
