## What it is
A free, open-source Unreal Engine plugin that adds an automatic loading screen system configurable in project settings. It displays loading screens whenever a new level opens, without requiring Level Streaming or custom C++ code.

## Use cases
- add a loading screen when opening a new level in Unreal Engine
- show startup movies before the game loads
- display loading tips and progress widgets during level transitions
- avoid Level Streaming just to show a loading screen
- configure per-level loading screen backgrounds and tips
- set up a loading screen without writing Slate C++ code

## When to choose
- you use Unreal Engine and want loading screens between levels without Level Streaming
- you are an artist or designer who wants configurable loading screens via project settings
- you want to play startup movies and show tips/loading widgets during level loads

## When to avoid
- your project already uses Level Streaming and handles loading screens there
- you need loading screens for a non-Unreal game engine
- you rely on plugins that conflict with the PreLoadingScreen phase, such as Pre-Load Screen Movie Player
