Currently, loading occurs in the render thread. This means no drawing can happen while loading happens, which gives the appearance of the game hanging/freezing until the loading is finished.
To-do list:
Make a queue system for loading: when game data needs to be loaded, add a request to the queue
When there are requests in the loading queue, enter a new game state representing a loading screen
During loading, render thread blocks while "Loading..." text is displayed.
