loading screen

i am building my game as a 'windows stand alone'. after the unity splash screen, there is a black screen while the game loads.

is there a way of displaying some text saying 'loading' on this black screen just so the user knows that the wait is ok and it hasnt crashed or anything?

thanks

 

Does the first scene have a long set-up time? If so, you can create a smaller scene that just display a "please wait" type message and then load the real scene with Application.LoadLevelAsync.

 

So what if you have the free version, and you cannot use the "Application.LoadLevelAsync"?

 

it might be a Funny question but how do i add a Progress bar to my loading screen?
