    Hello, I am currently developing a fan game and I had a question about the title screens. I wanted to have a more customizable title screen, so I decided to use Luka's Modular Title Screens script. However, I didn't find a lot of options for adding the options from the options screen to the main menu. If there is a way to do this, I imagine it would be through scripts already in essentials, but I'm not too inclined in ruby scripting. Some examples of this that I love are Horizon Zero Dawn's title screen and Skyrim's title screen. It isn't very traditional to Pokemon games, but these are just fan games and I think these menu's look very clean. I haven't seen this in a fan game yet, but I would at least ask if it is possible to do.
     
    If you open a new project by going to "File > New Project" in RPG XP, you'll get a template project that's purely in the RPG XP style (no Pokemon Essentials involved). The title screen for this default game is actually quite nice compared to Essentials' load screen, so based on what a normal RPG XP game does, I'd say it's definitely possible to customize it. I think you'd have to change a bunch of stuff in PScreen_Load, so you will need at least some coding knowledge (specifically with making GUIs). If you know some basic Ruby (or are ready to learn it on your own), I'd say it's definitely worth looking at Marin's GUI tutorial: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/396842
