How would you go about making a loading screen?

I’m working on a secret project that will be 100% better than Project Raft. http://www.desura.com/games/project-raft-an-indie-shipwreck-survival (Plug Plug) Anyways I made a loading screen in Project Raft but it didnt really work, it just resembled what one should look like. :stuck_out_tongue: So how would you make one of those fancy ones with the progress bar and what not?
