I recognize ChatGPT where I see him!
But thanks for the advice, that’s what I figured (especially about Electron)
Does this only happen to you when you try to load it from Steam or also in the preview? Does the same thing happen to you if you export it as APK or as a desktop game? Does the loading bar load progressively slower until it reaches the end?
Preview takes like 5 minutes to load. It’s a big project. From Steam, it goes into a black screen for about 30 seconds before bringing up the splash / loading screen. I think I slightly cut it down after correcting some coding errors, but I’m not sure.
If it’s indeed related to number of resources, I don’t think there’s anything I can do about that. Not counting the actual objects themselves or sound files, there are like 3000+ image files, all optimized.
So after much exploration it just seems to be related to the number of levels. It has over 60 different scenes. When I tested it and just deleted all but the first three levels, it loads instantly. Oops.
