Features

Visual Styles​

Progress Bar​

Choose from three styles in the Progress Bar category of your Data Asset:

  • Bar — classic solid or gradient-filled bar with a subtle leading-edge highlight
  • Segmented — smooth fill divided by thin vertical dividers for a chunky, game-style look
  • Stepped — 20 discrete cells that switch fully on or off as progress advances

All styles support gradient fill and an optional percentage label.

Spinner​

Choose from four styles in the Spinner category:

  • Ring — rotating dot ring with a trailing opacity fade (default)
  • Arc — 270° arc sweep where the head is bright and the tail fades out
  • Bars — 8 radial bar segments that rotate (classic macOS-style)
  • Dots — three horizontally arranged dots that bounce in a wave pattern

Assign a Custom Spinner Texture to replace any built-in style with your own PNG.

Ken Burns Effect​

Slowly zooms each image over its display duration — adds cinematic depth to any slide.
Adjustable intensity (0–30%). Recommended: 4–12%.

Cinematic Overlays​

  • Vignette — soft dark gradient around the screen edges
  • Letterbox — black bars at top and bottom for a widescreen look
  • Screen fade-in — automatic fade from black when the loading screen first appears

Media Sequence​

Add images to the Media Sequence array to create a slideshow. Each entry supports:

  • Individual display duration
  • Individual transition effect (Fade, Slide Left, Slide Right, Fade to Black, Zoom In, Cut)
  • Individual transition duration
  • Per-slide hint override — show a specific hint for a specific image
  • Per-slide transition sound — play a sound when this slide transitions

Leave the Media Sequence empty for a plain spinner screen with background color.

Audio​

  • Background Music — plays during loading, fades out automatically after the level loads
  • Fade-in duration — configurable ramp-up time (0 = instant full volume)
  • Transition Sound — global sound played on every slide change (overridable per slide)
  • Music also plays in the editor preview window

HUD Elements​

Hints / Tips​

Add any number of hints to the Hints array. Each hint supports an optional icon texture.
Display mode: Random or Sequential. Hints fade in and out smoothly.

Display a studio or game logo in any corner. Configurable size, opacity, and position.

Overlay Text​

Show a line of custom text (game title, level name, etc.) at any anchor point on screen.

Sequence Dots​

Small animated dots at the bottom showing the active slide. Toggle via Show Sequence Dots.

Workflow Tools​

Quick Setup​

Project Settings → Loading Screen Pro contains a green ✚ Create & Assign Default Loading Screen Asset button.
One click creates Content/LoadingScreenPro/DA_DefaultLoadingScreen, assigns it as the default, and opens it for editing.

In-Editor Preview​

Every Data Asset has a ▶ Preview Loading Screen button at the top.
Opens a live 1280×720 window showing the exact loading screen — including animations, transitions, and music.

Color Presets​

Select a preset from the Color Preset dropdown to apply a complete color theme in one click:

  • Dark — dark background, blue progress bar
  • Minimal — light background, dark UI
  • Cinematic — black background, gold gradient bar, vignette, letterbox
  • Bright — blue background, white bar

The preset resets to None after applying so you can keep tweaking from there.
