Game Over is an event command and a state in RPG Maker that occurs when all actors run out of HP and are killed.
Details[]
Game Over is a common state in video games that usually occurs due to failing at a game, such as running out of health, or failing a required story objective. When a game over occurs, in early games the player is required to restart the game from the beginning, though in more modern games, game over does not force a player to restart from the beginning, as the player is either able to restored from a saved game, or in some games, able to restart the battle or event from the beginning.
By default, in RPG Maker, a game over will occur when a battle is failed due to running out of alive party members, but it can be triggered by an event by using the event command of the same name, "Game Over", for example due to failing a timed challenge, or choosing the wrong choice in an event. It can also occur when all actors lose all HP and are killed by Change HP. Usually, the game then returns to the title screen, where the player can either start a new game or load a saved game.
The game over image can be modified by replacing the image used for the game over screen with another one, or by editing the file itself using an image editing program.
