Is is possible to have character levels, equipment, inventory, money carry over to a continuation of that game? Specifically I want to create a demo for a larger project, but would like players to be able to take all the experience and items earned over to the actual game when it is completed at a later time. Similar to how you could take all of your items from Armored Core 3 over to Armored Core: Silentline, or how you could use Suikoden I data into Suikoden II. Is there a script for this and I missed it? Could I modify the New Game Plus script to achieve this?

You can but it takes a bit of finagaling. You can have them end on a certain map number, have them save there at the end then take the map (same number!) to the new project and have them import the save when they want to play. You just have to make sure that everything matches up perfectly - the names of all the images, the numbers in the database of items and weapons and skills and characters and whatnot (though you can swap out skills and characters.)

Check out the Legion Saga games - they did this in 2k/3 so it's more than possible in Ace.

You cannot decrease the amount of stuff in the database. You can increase, but not decrease. Also the addition of some scripts will make this not possible.

That makes sense. Thanks, Liberty. It also seems like this would be a good way to break huge projects into chapters without losing your progress in between.
