[Scripting Question] Displaying tips during loading screen

[HarmonyConcept]

As we all know, launching the game may occasionally take some time if the game compiles. During this time (which can take up to 5-10 seconds) the player will see nothing but a black screen; do you think it might be possible to enhance the loading/compiling time by displaying some bits of text (tips, quotes, fun facts...) to catch the player attention from the very beginning?

Isn't the game already compiled once you've built a release version? But even if not it seems like the player would only see the tips at most once (because they can't change the PBS files, and therefore can't trigger a recompile)?

EDIT: But I reckon you could add that feature by drawing some text to the screen at the beginning of the function that kicks off compilation in Compiler.

Compiling is only done during playtesting. It won't happen for players once the game is released.
