Just another question on the splash screen: Are we allowed to resize it (on the premise to keep it legible) or would it be possible to provide the splash screen in the most common sizes?
1280 x 720 is annoyingly widescreen.
I believe that as long as you keep the core sponsor information intact it should be ok, according to this:
Are we allowed to modify the splashscreen in any way, or is it to be used strictly as is? E.g. highlighting the current game's team with a border or other graphic.
this is perfectly acceptable. so long as the splashscreen doesn't see any major modifications which would cover up the sponsors text, you can feel free to modify it to reflect anything you'd like to add(such as highlighting your team, or placing a "press any key to continue" text onto it.)
I'm not sure as to whether you can remove the team information (which is not part of the sponsor info at the center) and redo the whole splashscreen with the same sponsor information with different fonts/color/visual direction in general though.
