Loading Screen

The Loading Screen is a minor feature in nico's nextbots, originally added in the Overhaul update. The screen loads assets and gives tips while playing the loading music behind a visual of the game with the logo spinning around. When you first load into the game, you will always be greeted with this.

|-|Current Screen=
The loading screen has now since been changed in the Arcade Update (03/03/2023). The new one features a skate ramp in the background. This can be found in nn_crossroads, specifically in Skate Hill, one of the four notable corner locations in nn_crossroads.
Underneath the scenery displays the controls for the current device that the player is using when playing.A randomized sequence of tips also appear on-screen, consisting of sentences often referencing developers, on how to play the game, threats or other games (see tips for the full list).
|-|Former Screen=
The old loading screen is an unsaferoom, that looks exactly like a safe room, but doesn't count as a safezone area. The text on screen shows: the game icon spinning around clockwise with "loading..." text next to it, the amount of assets that have been loaded, and the assets that the game still has to load. Then, it displays a skip button, to skip the whole loading screen and get straight into the game. The Loading Screen didn't always have a skip button however.The old loading screen unsaferoom can actually be found in-game, in nn_russia.

|-|Old/Legacy Screen=
The older loading screen is entirely bland. It had the nico's nextbots logo in the center along with the approximate parts that is being loaded. Unlike the current screen we have today, it also had no music, no background, no skip button, no tips that were being typed, and no controls have been shown for new players.
