Easily Create Progress Bars for your games
If you are new to making games then you might not be aware of the one thing all games have. No, it’s not the 3D models, graphics or text it is the Progress bar. This little handy display bar helps your game work correctly.
Games designers use progress bard to allow assets in a game to load fully before they serve the playable version of the game to it’s user. This makes them quite important in all games.
“Loading”, progress bars are key when it comes to any game. Without them your user will not when their game will be ready. Imagine starting at a blank screen waiting for something to happen, only to close it and give up thinking the game is broken. We are sure you have been there, because we have! We recommend you twin this with the ORK 3 Framework if you are creating RPG style games.
It is quite important to give your user some notification as to weather they are going to have to sit and wait or if their game is going to load up. Progress bars are commonly seen on loading screens, but you can also find them in cut scenes, intros and the start of new levels. Some cinematics use them in the background.
Progress bars are not all the same and some games companies have flashing icons where as others have numbers shown. Well this create progress bars asset back gives you multiple types of progress bars that all show the percentage of the load time. Making them great for a wide range of games. We tend to use progress bars on large format games like RPGs.
