DOT-INVADER
i need your opinion; loading time
hello everyone,
as my project is still under devlopment, and the file size bigger and bigger, i need your advice;
here are two ways of building my game:
1) all the game is loaded at the begining, except the soundtrack, which you can either enable or disable (it will not be loaded if disabled)
> advantages: once the game is loaded, no need to wait between areas, sounds or cut scenes
> disadvantages: the long wait of the begining (maybe agremented with some light animations/mini-games like pong)
2) each area is loaded when you wander all around
> advantages: quick start for low connections like me
> disadvantages: you need to load external files each time you wander around, which is slowing down the tempo of the game
that's why i need your suggestions; what way is or seems better for you, regarding your preferences or your internet connection?
here are some additional infos
> each area is around 60/100k (backgrounds, shadows and front graphics)
> too bad it's not possible to attach MCs in loaded MCs ><
thanks for your ideas/comments
