i can live with it too..

i studied the info-table and chose the commercial edition. Later.. when i finish my games.. i will buy the upgrade to the Pro version, and compile it without any commercial limitations.

Like me. I'm making my COMMERCIAL game and I'm living with those limits.
When i earn enough money from it, i simply upgrade to Pro.

EDIT: Esper was faster.

actually, only reason for me to upgrade to pro would be the startup screen. i am happy with commercial edition.

Maybe you can bypass the starter window even in commercial.

Imagine making an exe in visual studio with winAPI which runs the game.exe from the path and then it creates a window without any titlebar, just an image of the game drawn on top of it and placed at the top list of active windows.. After the game runs, you could send a message to that window with SendMessage function from lite-c to terminate it in the window procedure of that exe made in visual studio.

It would be similar to the way some games show a picture of their own game in the desktop before it goes into fullscreen.

This might work, have not tried but I will do it now.

but, it is against the license agreement.

Oh, fail. Thought it would be listed as "clever usage of game mechanics" as Blizzard usually says about exploits in WoW

EDIT: Maybe it's not, maybe showing a lite-c logo is enough. Dunno, have to ask JCL about it

I will Upgrade to pro Version Ehen i want to compile the finished Game.
1st because of the startup window
2nd because of loading screens

the Rest of the pro Features are Not Important for me.

That’s weird. I have A7 7.80 commercial edition and when I type
-nwnd in SED's preferences the screen gets almost completely token away. It is still their but it reduces the startup screen time to maybe halve a second, and once I build the game the start up screen returns.

Fakely removed the startup window with commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMtgK2xanII

JCL, my question now is, is this legal? I've put the logo of both A7 and Lite-c, the company name and the info, also the homepage link.

It looks easier to read imo and looks more attracting. The method was just creating another window in WindowsForms, making it stay on top and making it uninteractable. Then send custom messages to engine with the HWND of the custom startup window. Once the engine could take these messages I just terminate the application in lite-c with WINAPI functions since I got the HWND by sending it.

Wouldn't that be considered a type of reveres engineering?

It is most likly illegal to do that or at least against the license terms, but I dont know if it would be if you got permission to do it first thoe.
