Creative Loading Screens
Loading screens
can be really boring, especially if your internet is abysmal. In SFD, we currently have a black screen, an (hopefully) increasing percentage, and some loading tips we can cycle through. I think we can do better. I think we can make loading screens a more entertaining and lively experience! One way to achieve this is through adding in small loading screen animations. Listed below are a few that Quinterball and I came up with in a few minutes:
Fighter reloading a shotgun
Fighter falling in tumble animation
Fighter rocket riding in a circle
Fighter rolling
Knife spinning through the air
forever
And maybe you can recall some other games that take this same approach. It's not a new idea. Of course, this doesn't completely negate the monotony of the loading screen, but it gives the player an extra set of stimuli to occupy them.
Naturally, additional suggestions for loading screen animations are welcome, as are criticisms of this idea.

You could some cool maps in the background,
You could do what you did in SF and have some CPUs fight in the background.
This is a great idea.
The team should expand on it.

Great idea. Do you mean the loading screen when you open the game?
Ideas: drawing a magnum, punching and blocking, rolling and aiming with a silenced pistol, hipfiring with an M60.

I really believe that they should do something else than just funny "loading" texts. Those have been existing since eons and aren't quite as cool as they used to be.
CPU fighting in the background seems better, maybe with the possibility to take part of the background battle.

Doesn't the game need to load to actually fight'; i think it needs to load for everything CPU fighting-related.gwendalaze wrote:I really believe that they should do something else than just funny "loading" texts. Those have been existing since eons and aren't quite as cool as they used to be.

They're not talking about those "The Sims" loading texts, they're talking about animations, like a CPU in a black background reloading a shotgun continuously.gwendalaze wrote:I really believe that they should do something else than just funny "loading" texts.

That would be awesome, if your skin is shown there.
And my ideas:
Player, throwing a knife into the air, and then catches it.
Player Jumps and kicks.
Player reloading weapoons
