Summary0017025: Initial Map Generation
DescriptionIn prior versions while a new map was generating we'd get to see the map as it formed. Now it is just a blank screen. While obvious, I thought I'd add an entry asking for something else to look at besides the black screen while it generates.
TagsNo tags attached.

It was in the patch notes that seeing the world during generation was a dev tool and wasn't going to be in the game. Though I do agree that the black screen is bland, it isn't up very long in most cases.

Ah, but you forget. My computer is powered by the hopes and dreams of small rodents. Which doesn't make it very fast.

I do agree with you on the black screen part :p A splash screen (nice art) would work... something quick to load that's nice to look at.

For 0.898:

* Now when you're loading a game it displays a full-screen image and a message that it's loading the game before actually starting the load process, to avoid the hang and/or black screen situation.
** It also shows something in the background during mapgen for new games.

Thanks :)
