[Suggestion] Alternative for startup screen

[Jailer]

Currently when PA starts up the blank map starts - not very exciting and if you are relying on autosave then it will overwrite.

Alternative:

Give the player the option (options screen):
A) Default start
B) Load most recent prison (based on timestamp)

Default start would be:
- a small default prison is loaded - nice and green, with all ameneties. Prison should be simple enough to run itself for a while.
- a random prisoner is selected in this prison and set to follow mode - normal speed.
- overlaying & to the side, the New Game/Load Game/Settings splash screen is displayed.
Player can not interact with the prison - only with the splash screen.

In this way, when you start the game
- there is something interesting to see while menu is shown - no empty field
- new players get an idea of what a prison can look like
- fun to watch what the prisoner is upto - will he end up in a fight?
- your autosave will not be overwritten with a blank field.

What do you think?
