Fun thing: players don’t trust a smooth loading bar. The stutters and pauses show you that the load is ‘biting’. I’ve worked on games where we artificially faked it.
Game design: often starts before the game does.

Game developers need to invent a loading bar that moves at an even speed, reflecting the amount of time a game will take to load. Once that's done, they can start working on graphics, jumping etc.
