Hosting a ad from a website or server in game?

mounted88

I'm trying to figure out how to host a ad within a game, that we( the developers) can change with out submitting a whole new binary. Can this even be done with gamesalad and if so how? When i mean hosting a ad from a website, i mean like the with friends games do. To where you can change it, to show when something is on sale or to advertise another game with out submitting a new binary.

No, this can't be done. GameSalad does NOT have the ability to take data from any outside source. So no user database, no online-playable games, no external advertising, etc. As far as I know, they have never mentioned making any of this a reality either.

However, they do have PlayHaven support built in so you can have an ad-supported game via that.

However Part 2, it currently does not work on Android. Only iOS I believe.

I already know all that, I'm talking using the external link button. (Pro feature) could that be used to display a picture or ad that could be changed. I'm not talking anything about multiplayer and I'm already using play haven in my games.

No, external link is just like it sounds. It'll only load up a link for viewing. As far as I know you can't do anything with it. It opens in your default browser.

I know it opens your default browser. But there are HTML links you can get from photo bucket that will take you to just a picture. So I was thinking is there a way to get that picture displayed using the link button. Just a thought
