Also, you can put a loading bar at the beginning of the game, even if everything loads up instantly, just to give it a more professional feel :neko:

Hahaha, what? Having to wait extra time is annoying, period. You will have more professional look if you don't frustrate your players for nothing.

But Karoshi did fun out of it, it had fake loading screen with little "press space to skip loading" at the bottom. But it was no more than a joke and you didn't had to actually wait until it's "loaded".
