(Development) Credits Overhaul Update

[GracieLovelight]

Things To Do:

Visual & Auditory Updates:

Since we will be using these credits at the end of the game (or each story arc, still not sure which one), we should overhaul how the credits look! Here's the ideas so far:

• Creating a credits sequence similar what Toontown Rewritten's Sellbot Task Force credits look like by...
  • Replacing the background with a playground/area showcase
    • I should try to associate the playground/area showcase with the team(s) that helped out with that area
  • Showing a sub-section of the area for "Former Staff", "Contributors (in that specific role)", etc.
  • Having orchestrated remix of the Victory 2.0 music track that uses motifs from the playground/area shown
    • Having the music play for the entire credits length
    • The music should fade in at the start and fade out at the end
  • Separating the credits sections to display staff position at a time
• We should Incentivize players to watch through the credits instead of skipping them by adding a collectable item at the end of the credits (like what "Operation: Dessert Storm" does)!

Quality of Life Changes:

• Make the staff role titles (i.e. The Architects of Realities (Programmers), The Artisans of Nature (Artists), Allies of Continuance (Contributors), etc.) be displayed more prominently with larger text
  • Each title section should be colored with the corresponding color on the Discord's server (If the color doesn't mesh well with the background, adjust the color tone so it does!)
• Make the credits scrollable

More will likely be added later!

If possible, it would also be neat to automatically add a contributor to the credits when a pull request is approved.

• Add a Contributors section above the Special Thanks To section
• Move the names of contributors from the Special Thinks To section to the Contributors section
• Create code to identify:
  • When a pull request is made
  • The Username/Display Name of did it
• Create code to automatically add the name to the Contributors section of:
  • The In-Game Credits
  • The Toontown Fantasy website
• Create code to automatically bring parity to the sections mentioned above.
