A few questions:
Firstly is it true that Coldstone comes with loads of character and landscape graphics that you can use in your own game
Also is it possible to incorporate soundtracks to different parts of the game and can you have cut scenes.
------------------
Yes and yes.

Just to complete Saphire's answer (which is right) about cut scenes. If you are talking about quicktime movies, the answer is yes, of course. If you are talking about console-style cut-scenes ala Final Fantasy, the answer is still yes but this last one requires a good experience with the Coldstone animation editor ((url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/news/upcoming/images/cs_animationeditor.jpg")old version screenshot available here(/url)). The last version of Coldstone has two new animation flags that let you lock/unlock the camera on a path (you even choose the smoothing interpolation level). The latest version of (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/news/upcoming/pog_betashots.html")PoG(/url) uses this features to add a couple of in-game cut-scenes (PoG also has quicktime movies).

Wow, Dee, that's great! Glad to hear it, as I've been wondering the same thing, getting positive yet vague answers. Keep us updated.
