Starting a game

Escoria looks for a start script for your game.

You can configure its path in platform/game_start_script.

It should look like this

:start
    change_scene res://game-dir/rooms/your-first-room/scene.tscn

Note that the :start event is not used anywhere else. The start script does not use :load, because loading save games has to disable events. So if :load was used, your legitimate events at the start of your game would not work. And not checking for game loads would completely break your game every time you load a save!
