part 1: setup
create a new save called "FrontEnd" (i have not tested to see if case sensitivity is a thing)
this will be used as the new title screen, any scene can be selected
(ill just go over some of the main details as bullet points to keep it some what brief)
  • rpm state is not saved, so if you want a running engine, you have to come up with a starting system that will work
  • final camera position is where the player's camera is, so set yourself at a good angle.

set it up however you like, set your camera where you like, and then save
part 2: changing the title screen
once you have gotten your new title screen how you want and saved, exit to main menu and click on this button
(edit, changed picture to better show the button in question, its located at the botom left when you select the save in game)

it will open file explorer to the save file


next, go to load scene>built in examples> Front end and hit the same button, it will open the file explorer and take you to the save file
next, copy the "scene.bytes" file from the custom front end (which is the first one) and paste it into the second folder you can also swap the preview images if you like aswell, but its not nessesary

once done, verify it works by reloading the game and if it works, great, if not, retry the steps, if it still dosnt work, feel free to ask questions here or contact me via discord, (djay4487 or if you are already in the official gearblocks discord server, ping me (i curently go by speed wagon)

you don't need to create a new save, you can just replace the scene.bytes with any other scene.bytes and it will work

I didn't know I needed this my life but it's really funny to drive a RC car in the main menu thanks :)
