Game Options: Use this animated GameMaker video as an optional splash screen #5909

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Static splash screens are underutilized. They're just boring. Additionally, I don't feel like the static splash image accurately reflects GameMaker as a brand. I propose a new, animated splash screen that is updated and matches GameMaker's modern sentiments.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want this to be the new splash screen option. It should have the option of being the splash screen by default for all GM projects. Sound on.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm not sure anything else would suffice.

Additional context

This is not a joke.

I would have to double check but I'm fairly sure that some stores require static splash screens as part of their submission guidelines. If you want this use a sequence after the initial static splash (which you can set to be a basic logo if you want via game options)

On Windows, you could mix it with window_set_showborder(), starting game without borders and then adding them after displaying that movie - and then depending on guidelines that Scott mentions, either add static splash screen first, or no splash screen at all.
