Just a small suggestion — I think the era of Godot’s default splash screen has run its course. It’s time to give HoloDelta its own shiny new splash screen! (Made it by myself with icon.png as included material.)

Here's the preview of it:
delta_splash_screen

Feel free to suggest any improvements if you have any.

Ignore the branch name, btw.

Frankly, I don't see the need.

But, keeping an open mind, here are my concerns:

  • Does the loading bar still display? I think so, but this is mandatory so we must be sure
  • If there is text (beyond just the name holoDelta), it should be localized so it displays correctly for each language. If this is not possible (and I suspect it might be), then there should not be any text.
  • In terms of design, I am not particularly a fan of just the icon on a gradient (though the gradient does look nice)

If you are referring to the web version, then yes, it's still there.

If there is text (beyond just the name holoDelta), it should be localized so it displays correctly for each language. If this is not possible (and I suspect it might be)

Yeah.... splash screen only uses static images so it's not possible to include dynamic content (for example, localization as you've said). I guess the text is redundant for this case. We could make a dynamic loading screen using scenes if the text is really neccesary, but that's just overkill.

I am not particularly a fan of just the icon on a gradient.

Hmm... lemme try a few other designs. Please keep this PR be opened.

Due to significant changes in the master branch, I’m going to close this PR and open a new one based on the updated master. But before then, here are my proposed splash screens for the game. Once you've decided which to choose (or you have a better idea), I'll go ahead and close this PR and open a new one for the splash screen update.

Vertical, horizontal version with gray background (HEX: 242424)

hdss_ver1
hdss_ver2

Vertical, horizontal version with dark blue background (HEX: 122138)

hdss_ver4
hdss_ver3

I think horizontal looks better, but it might need to be a little higher up to not look weird with the loading bar. Really, I need to see what any proposed design looks like with the loading bar.

Also, I quite liked the gradient in the initial proposal. I think the solid background is a downgrade.

Okay, I will bring it back.
Also, please move on to PR #12 , as this PR is too outdated to be merged to master branch.
