[CGMZ][Alpha] Press Start for RPG Maker MZ

Hi all, [CGMZ] Press Start adds a Press Start screen before the title screen, and after any splash screens (if using [CGMZ] Splash Screen).

This is a screen which displays a background image, optionally the game title the same as in the title scene, and optionally a Press Start image. The scene will wait here until it detects any "ok" keyboard/gamepad input from the player, or any touch input. You can also configure exactly which buttons for both the gamepad and keyboard are accepted, so if you want your players to actually need to press the Start button on their controllers you can do that.

Once start is pressed, a sound effect can play and the scene will transition to the next scene (probably the Title unless using other plugins that add scenes before the title screen).

For the Press Start image, you can decide where on the screen it is displayed using a percentage based coordinate system. You can also have a hover effect when the user mouses over the image. This will change the image to a hover image, which can be anything you want, and change back once the user stops hovering their mouse over the image. It looks something like this:

This plugin comes with an option to skip the press start screen during playtest. With this option enabled, it will still display for deployed games.

Keep in mind that this plugin is still in Alpha stage, so I do have some future plans for additional features as this plugin progresses through the Alpha stage. The following are features I hope to implement before beta stage:

1. Integration with [CGMZ] Global Data
2. More transition effects

As always, you are encouraged to leave any additional feature suggestions down below in the comments, or in my Discord #suggestions channel. You can also leave any support questions down below or ask in my discord's #support channel.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

Please be aware that you can access this as well as all of my other Alpha plugins for $5 on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CasperGamingRPGM

This is posted to Itch.io since some people only use Itch and are not aware my Patreon and all of my beta/alpha plugins exist, or want to have everything in one convenient location (itch.io), or do not want to do a monthly subscription.

Casper Gaming's Beta/Alpha plugins are treated as an "early access" and will eventually be free for everyone once they are fully released, though this process can take months/years. By purchasing in beta/alpha, you are able to provide early feedback/suggestions which are more likely to make it into the final fully released plugin.
