Hi to all. I'm a illustrator by profession, and over the last weeks/months I've been looking into the interactive book field. Which to a novice like myself is to say the least: complicated! Knowing which route to go down, which software, and how deeply I need to get involved, is a hard decision as there seem to be so many different pieces of kit, and the learning curve is high. Basically then, after being impressed with GM far as the games and the quality of the art it allows on screen, my question is: Is it possible to use GM, with or without over software, to produce the touch interactivity for children's picture books, the images on separate pages, etc?
Most grateful on any help or direction anyone can give. Brian.

This is in the wrong forum, this forum is for finished games/software. I will get a mod to move this to the novice and intermediate forum

Even PowerPoint (Word/Excel) might do if you already aware of:

1. target OS
1.1. MS
1.2. *nix
1.3. MAC
1.4. iOS
1.5. iPAD
1.6. portable embedded
. . .
1.999 cross-platform

2. interactive type required
2.1 Volvelle-type
2.2 Pop-up
2.3 Coloring
2.4 Gamebooks
2.5 Hidden object and picture books
2.6. Digitized learning books
. . .

3. Restrictions
3.1. Memory
3.2. Size
3.3. Interaction
3.4. Info savings
3.5. Shareware/Registration
. . .

Frankly speaking, I'd rather consider some dedicated software than diving into GM's "nuances" --just check Mr. Google amd Frau YouTube
