Opening GUI question

by Ronald J Nelson · in Torque Game Engine · 11/26/2005 (8:05 pm) · 3 replies

My question is based upon the legality of using a opening utility GUI to allow the player to use additional utilities, check for updates, ect, that woul appear before anything else. Starting the game would be initiated from this console, then the GarageGames' logo gui would appear prior to my own then the game would start.

If you haven't figured out from my question what I am asking, it is this: Does the GarageGames logo screen have to be the first thing that is displayed upon opening of the game? I know it has to be there, but does it have to be first?

I see that the EULA states this "Licensee agrees to display a full screen, unmodified Torque Game Engine logo for no less than four full seconds in the start up sequence of any game created and released with the Engine."

I figured I would just leave the logo as is, just put it when the game is actually started instead of before the startup utility. I guess what I need is an employee to answer this one for me.

"in the start up sequence" to me means anywhere in the startup sequence.
just you have to show it for 4 seconds at some point before the game starts.
i'd feel comfortable rolling w/ that assumption until you get a proper GG response.
