Splash Scene
The Lion Splash Scene is an optional feature that you can place before your loading or main game scene to initialize SDKs and load dynamic data safely. It keeps startup logic separate and reduces race conditions by ensuring services are ready before gameplay begins. It also handles displaying studio logos during startup.
This feature always loads the next scene in your Build Settings scene list. If you need to branch to different scenes (for example, based on player state or remote config), implement that logic in the next scene after the splash flow.
Setup
The Splash Scene is automatically added to your Build Settings at index 0.
Remove any hard-coded calls to SceneManager.LoadScene(0) to avoid accidentally loading the splash scene.
Unity’s default splash screen will be disabled automatically (if your Unity license/version allows it). Make sure your project is on a plan/version that supports disabling the Unity splash screen (for example, Unity Pro/Enterprise or Unity 6+).
Wizard
You can configure everything automatically using the Setup Wizard.
Manual
You can also run setup manually from the Splash Scene settings window.
The Setup button is only enabled when changes are needed:
The Splash Scene is not at index 0 in Build Settings, or
Unity’s default splash screen is currently enabled.
Settings

Use Async Loading
Loads SDK initialization and dynamic data asynchronously. This can improve load time for some games, so test on device to see what performs best.

Manually Setup Loading Scene

This button will handle splash screen setup for you. It will add the AnimatedLionLogoScene.unity to your 0th index in the build scene list
Clicking this button will overwrite any existing AnimatedLionLogoScene.unity you may have had setup previously.

NOTE: When upgrading to Lion SDK 2.0, you must complete this "Manual Setup Loading Scene" process in order for the Splash scene to work properly
