    Are there any ad systems that do this? Let you make the ad a texture in the game, or a video texture?

    Hi I suggest, since many ad networks deliver image files, maybe you can use WWW class to load an image from the web into a texture, hence get an ad on a texture in the game.

    BTW, I am planning an advertising network that does stuff like this... Alpha testing in 2015. Would love to hear your ideas, I haven't seen any advertising networks that do this. Check out http://mojuze.com

    Although,

    Cheers,

    Great idea.
    Also, srmojuze, that is a gorgeous website.
    I'll keep an eye on the project, i'd love to alpha test.

    Hi Guys,

    We've explored this possibility and while technically it is not a big-deal, getting advertisers on board this is not easy.

    Advertisers usually want to control how their ads are shown to the end-user. This creates a problem when they don't know how their ad-images might be used in games (especially if it would be a network, where they might not even know all the games showing their ads)

    The big game publishers can do this for their big name games where this kind of in-game texture ads are placed in for example in football field banners.

    Cheers,
    Heikki
