New Loading Screen Question

I noticed the new loading screen has vegetation which is moving. Isn't that a bit counterproductive for a loading screen to have vegetation which creates lag?

 

It's actually a Webm file, so it's just a recorded video, and not an actual environment.

 

They're videos. Nothing is actually being rendered realtime, it's all prerecorded.

the lag is just the game loading, it doesn't have anything to do with the loading screen.

 

Oh okay. I thought it was like the old menu screen. Thanks!

 

Of course!

 

Thanks to you too! The ninjas are behind you.

 

I was surprised to see the menu system is all html. I think that's a unique way to create a menu GUI.

 

Just saw in version 0.3.2 the loading screen will be screenshots rather than a looping video.
