Description

The asset loading may take some time, especially it's currently dumb and just loads everything instead of accessing on demand.

There should be some "progress bar", "spinner" or at least on-screen hint that assets are being loaded. Probably related to #70, a black screen is likely to be seen when waiting for the asset loading.
