This isn’t just any indie game devlog. It’s the beginning of something I didn’t plan...

I’ve built a level loading system in Godot 4.3 using C# with some bonus UI Shader magic to hide scene loading. But ever since I implemented it, things have gotten... weird. The transitions are seamless. Maybe too seamless. I think I might be stuck inside my own game...

Don’t worry! I’m stuck forever... I think...

In this video we go over:
Creating a dynamic scene loader with smart scene memory management
Custom UI shader transitions to mask scene loading
A tiled bone UI element that I think started all this mess

This continues from my earlier work on Persona 5's loading screen:    • I made Persona 5's Best Game Mechanic | Ga...   — but this one seems... alive...

I’ll keep you updated how things go in the meantime - assuming I can still upload in here.
