Getting the loading time down was one of my top priorities, and i tried to alleviate it a bit with the coffee cup and the clock showing it would take something like 2 minutes 40 seconds. I made the background in Photoshop, since I wanted more control over the graphics. The first test, with the entire background put in the same room, gave me an insane loading time of 10 minutes 50 seconds (it takes less than 5 seconds to open it in Windows image viewer!). But yes, I know the current loading time is still way too long. I shaved time off by cutting the image up into four rooms and loading the music from files. I'll try loading the background image from a folder the next time too though, thanks for the tip!
