New Loading Screens

Post by Royal Blood » Mon Mar 08, 2021 5:19 pm

Pretty neat! Kudos to the artist! I thought it'd be that mini box like they are now so having the whole screen be a portrait is pretty cool. And I like the 'general' loading screen. Now if only the loading time took longer. ;)

I didn't realize the project was going to entirely replace the loading screen as I knew it. WOW. This is really cool, I like how so many areas have custom images for them. I wasn't able to play much earlier, I'm going to have to go explore later and see what the loading screens look like.

Theyre very good, I enjoy looking at them while loading in- paying attention to a load screen is not something I tend to do!

I was gonna make a thread for this but it seems I was beaten - good.

When I heard of the project like forever ago I was pretty excited, but I also thought it would come in the same format that all the loadscreens did - small letterbox image and loading bar.

Holy cow was it an impressive shock to see the entire screen splashed with amazing art, and not just art, but Arelith-specific art. Just walking around Andunor you get to see the wonderful depiction of it. I am excited to re-explore much of the module just to see the loading screens.

So we're very much on track.

Loading in has never been so nice. After years of the same screens this is lovely.

I am uncertain if it is a bug or a feature, but the loading screen TIMES have also been shorter, at least to my computer. Less than 2 seconds. It used to be 6 seconds or more.

So some wonderful magic is in the background, on top of the pretty art!

Every time I walk into my house I see Sydney Harrow's smug little smile and I know that this is retribution for all the unflattering memes I made for her.

The main downside I see to this is that I now want to give menter $200 I don't have

Yes. I recently posted about all the updates in the Guldorand Kudos thread. To quote the movie, 'Waiting', "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little 'extra'".

With this addition of Arelith inspired art is what, I feel, makes this game surpass the first Witcher.

Great work.
It's all peaches 'n' cake!
