The scene that plays when they player defeats the final boss, escapes the city, and wins the run.
Composition
The scene must be composed of unique static art of the player’s characters sitting on the sand at a beach, overlooking the sun setting behind the waves. During the credits, the sun shall set completely to reveal the starry night sky (with accompanying lighting changes).
The player characters must be aligned to the left of the screen, with the credits text displayed on the right.
Display and Functionality
Personal preference incoming
I know we love doing scrolling credits, but I think slideshow-style credits look better and feel calmer, and give each name gets more focus. Fight me on this -X
When accessed by winning a run
The credits shall be displayed in a slideshow format, with each slide displayed for X seconds before moving on to the next. Pressing the confirm or cancel button skips to the next slide immediately, resetting the timer.
After the last slide from here, show a FINAL slide saying “Thank you for playing!” along with some doodles from art team or something. The scene will linger on this slide until the player manually presses confirm or cancel. When they do, the screen will fade to black, and then the scene switches to the Main Menu.
When accessed from the Main Menu
The credits shall be displayed in a manually-scrollable vertical container, with each ‘slide’ displayed beneath the next. There shouldn’t be any excessive space between slides of different heights.
The credits will not scroll automatically, and they will not wrap around. The player must use the mouse scroll wheel or any vertical directional input to scroll through.
Beneath the last slide from here, include any licensing or external credits that we are required to include in the credits, but don’t really want to show in the fancy credits at the end of a run.
Slides
For each of the slides below, wherever a developer’s name is shown, their title shall be displayed as smaller text above the name. For a group of people with the same title, stack the names.
