I'm making a game, and there's a few things I really want/need to do before release.
(for the sake of clarity, Start Menu means the menu where you load saves, and such that comes up when you launch the game, and Game Menu means the one where you can equip stuff, use items and skills, check stats, ect)

First one, I'm pretty sure I saw it once, but I can't seem to find it, but from what I understand there's
a plugin that allows you to set an in-engine map as your start menu(SomeRandomDude I think), and from there, I'm not sure if map events are active or anything, but what I want to do is have it so that as you progress through the game, different music plays, and the menu background will also look different. I already have a persistent data plugin, which allows certain switches/variables to be stored outside of in-game save data, so that should help with that, though I'm not really sure exactly how to go about doing all this.

In addition to this, I have an intro cinematic that I want to be playable from the main menu.
Like, have one of the buttons on the main menu execute a common event that plays the video, or series of code, or whatever. I know this is possible, as I know Gaia's Melody EM does this, and it's an MV game, I'm just not sure what plugin I would use.

Also also also (that's a lot of also's) I want to remove most of the options on the Game Menu.
This is slightly less important than the other stuff, however, my game only uses that stats HP, DEF, LV, and EXP.
That's pretty much it. (Also, skills aren't really something you can use either)
For most of the game there's only one character, you cannot save anywhere, at any point in the game, and you can't swap out the order of party members either.(character 1 has a player input name)
So basically, all I want left is 'stats, equip, items, quit to title)
Again, I'm sure there's a plugin that can do this, but I'm not sure where to look exactly, or what the easiest
solution is, so that's why I'm asking here.

Hope that wasn't too much in one thread, I know I asked about a lot of stuff, and it can wait a while, I'm planning on releasing in like 2 months, so there's no major rush, but I would like to get this all sorted out before release, at least with most of this stuff, as a lot of these options on the menu I've already planned for, and I really don't want to have options and info in the game that don't serve any purpose.
Thanks for reading, and thankyou even more for helping (if you can)
