Scene and Level Management

What problem does it solve?

Scene and level changes often break game state, interrupt loading, or scatter logic across disposable nodes. This Skill shows how to keep the ECS world persistent while Godot scenes are swapped, streamed, and composed as a clean visual layer.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Async Scene Loading: Load levels in the background with progress reporting and loading screens.
• Additive Composition: Combine HUD, gameplay, menus, and overlays without destroying the current scene.
• Open-World Streaming: Load and unload chunked level content around the player as they move.
• ECS Lifecycle Control: Clean up level-bound entities while preserving persistent tags, player state, and long-lived systems.
• Use Cases: Level transitions with fade effects, pause menus that appear over gameplay, and large worlds that stream chunks on demand.

Quick Start

Use this Skill to design a scene transition flow for a Godot 4.x ECS game that loads a new level asynchronously, shows progress, and preserves persistent entities.
