I’m trying to develop a strategy game. At present I’m using different scenes to represent different user access screens in my game. ie save/load game, manage provinces, manage armies etc. From various sources I’m starting to get the idea this may not be the right way to go. Should I keep everything on the main timeline and use buttons to jump from frame to frame?
