loading screen

Unity Engine
1

I was wondering: when releasing the game with the standalone player, does unity loads all the levels geometries and assets at the game start up or on a per-level basis? Also, if it loads the geometries and assets on a per-level basis (like standard retails games), if by chance we have a havyweigth level, how to display a loading screen?

I believe only the assets for the level are loaded. If you have a heavy level that is going to take a while to load, one way to display a loading screen is to:

  1. Load a level that basically contains you “loading” screen
  2. The loading screen level automatically begins the loading of the “heavy” level via script.
