Adding a video/introduction before the game main menu

#1 Post by brystfire » Sat Sep 21, 2013 8:54 am

Hi!

I have another question :)

How to add an introduction video or pictures with transition before the game menu appears?
This would make the game more appealing.
If possible if it can fade to another pic every 3 secs or when the player clicks please tell me.

Please tell me how it will be a great help :D

Make a label named "splashscreen", then it will run before the main game menu. Do what you like with that label, since it will mostly function like a regular game, so you can do all sort of stuff like showing image, pausing, transition, etc.
