Loading Screens - The Waiting Game - Extra Credits

Teacher or professor: Extra Credits
Subject: History, Politics, Mythology
Content of the Lesson: Nothing is more frustrating than a game crashing behind a loading screen, or the game grinding to a halt as you have to travel in-between areas. Even as tech gets stronger, our games get bigger, so it doesn't look like loading screens are disappearing anytime soon. But do they have to kill the pacing of the game and bore your player to death? We don't think so! We talk about a few examples of loading screens done right and how to engage your player during the waiting game. Thanks again to Kayla Heidenreich for the guest art this week!
