My game has 2 levels that have kinda lots of objects in it. So It takes lots of time to load the scene and reset the scene. So I wonder are there any other ways to make it loads quicker ? P.S. I have already turned off preload art for most of the objects In the levels.

    Set the two scenes up side by side in one 2x wide scene - and then simply move the camera to whichever scene you are on.

    I've made you a quick demo project (attached):

    Click on the word 'Scene' to change scenes.

    Thank you all for answering ! But I wonder if there is any other way to display ads without changing scene ?

    @EpicoreGames

    Just posted this to another thread. But here it is again.

    -Create a new scene. Let´s call it Ads.
    -Create a new actor, and put an "Unpause Game" behavior in it.
    -Put the actor on the new scene.

    Now during gameplay if you want to show an ad every 2 minutes, just make a timer in an actor that would be in that scene..
    -Every 120 seconds
    -Pause Game (scene: Ads, with "enable advertisement" checked.)

    The game will pause and show an ad, and then unpause right after closing the ad.
