Hello there.
I’d like to have my own splash screen after the Unity’s one (free version), however, since the first scene that gets loaded is my own splash screen, the Unity’s one doesn’t show for a lot of time, I’m pretty sure the thing is timed besides showing while the first scene is loading, but it only flashes very quickly and I’d like to know if I have to care about that… Also, I’d like to know if I can add my own splash screen from a “legal” standpoint.
After the Unity screen shows you can do what you want, all Unity cares is that their logo shows first, while the game/first scene loads.
As for how long the Unity splash stays there, it’s there as long as your game is being loaded, it isn’t timed or anything, so if your game is cached in memory, the Unity splash will be very fast.
Thank you.
So I think there’s no problem in displaying my own logo after the Unity’s one in a similar fashion (black background and stuff)… however, as the first scene it loads is quite simple (just an image) the Unity splash is displayed very shortly, I don’t know if I should manually keep it on screen longer somehow (honestly, i didn’t read the license/terms/conditions/whatever wall-o-text they show me)… I don’t know if it’s some problem with my device but when I launch my game the screen gets black for some seconds then the Unity logo flashes very quickly (you can’t read ‘unity’ there) and then my logo shows up for a sec or two.
I asked if I can have my own splash after the Unity’s because I don’t know if that can be interpreted as Unity endorsing my studio in some way or some of these legal nonsenses we have nowadays.
Just make sure your splash screen is distinct from the Unity one.
Thank you.
You mean, it shouldn’t have a black background? I don’t know how to make it more distinct than changing the bg to another color because my splash screen is simply my logo on a solid background… I think I can make it white… It’s not going to be pretty because my logo is already white but it will do.
About the time the Unity splash is displayed, NCarter said on irc that I don’t have to care about that.
