Idea for the pro version.

I have noticed when I bought 'Red block remover' that the loading screen still goes on for about 10 - 15 seconds. Even though it has a custom loading screen I still think that a new feature could be added for the pro membership.

This is a add a custom 10 - 15 second movie file. It is just an idea, but I think it would help the users (Not us, the people buying our games.) ignoring the app after a few days because of the long wait of it loading.

This may also give GameSalad users purchase a membership.

    I like it but, I see there being one problem.

    The reason GS takes so long is that it is loading an engine that in turn plays your game.

    To play the movie it would likely still have to load the engine first.. Unless

    The movie loaded in itunes.

    I dont know how it works but i remember some games have an intro that seems to be part of the movie player itself. My instinct tells me tit was to cover a load time.

    If remember correctly the first aura feint had that.

    Yes I agree. What I don't get is why should our scenes take time to switch.

    It would be good if you could use the devices hardware for our games such as the microphone and camera.

    the camera and microphone are only on the iPhone. The iPod Touch doesn't have them. You would have to make two versions of your game. something to think about anyway

    When you upload it you can limit the downloads to iPhone users. And when the iPad comes out I think that has I microphone built in. Im not sure but I have also heard roomers about a camera that you can plug in.

    I would like to use the mic on the iPhone.

    Even though the iPod Touch does not have a mic makes little difference. When submitting to the app store we need to specify with platform so an iPhone only app would be ok.
