Okay, Platform Builder can be great. It's great at doing lots of things. BUT. Platform Builder needs some SERIOUS upgrades. I want the ability to remove the title screen. "What's the point of this?" You ask. Well, I want to be able to use custom buttons. Instead of having a menu you can't edit. You can't change the font, color, the wording, ANYTHING. I want the titlescreen to be removed so that we can create an area to be the titlescreen. How would we still be able to do the same things a titlescreen does? Well, IF my suggestions get taken to allow us to be able to allow the mouse to interact with sprites and enemies, then I want there to be commands so that whenever something is activated to play commands, we can use commands such as, "create new game" or, "Resume game" or, "game options menu" or, "quit game." Of course a checkbox to always enter with a certain area when the game is launched will be needed, I think that with some fixing up, this suggestion could work. Also, I want the same for splashscreens, etc. THIS WAY, we can create cut-scenes (like in SMW) in the titlescreen. Or use commands in general for anything. And I want the same for victory screens, and well, every game screen. This I think will make PB better at being professional.

I just want ASM to look something that's it's own. Not like it's just another PB game.

Great idea but also it would need an "open settings" and "load game" procedures.
Sorry because my English is not very good because I'm Spanish ;) :P
