Update Title Screen #7

Open JoelStokes opened 3 years ago

Title Screen still includes a selectable option for the Volcano level. This needs to be removed and replaced with a new Credits option, showing my name and a link to the website, along with info regarding royalty free art & music.

Also, a subtitle should be added mentioning the early demo state of the game (similar to the subtitle of the "Game Narrative Demo" build from 2017).

Small change that could be nice is altering the color of the currently highlighted menu option. Right now, it's a little unclear even with the floating selection icon.

Either have the highlighted be light red to match the cursor and the others be white, or highlighted be white and the others be light gray. Should test to see which keeps all 3 the most visible but adds clarity to the menu.

Unfortunately the title screen code is pretty much old sloppy garbage... After looking through it, think it'd genuinely be faster to rewrite the bulk of it rather than trying to haphazardly patch what's there.

Reworked title screen will have the Credits option lerp in from the Left side of the screen, with the existing instructions lerping in from the Right. For added clarity, the bottom of both the Credits & Help sections will have a "Bottom" selection with the chevron next to it, making it clear they just hit the same button again to return back to the main screen.

Still plan to add the highlighted text color. The loading text & black bars coming together when the main game is selected will be unchanged, just broken off into a separate function.

Should hopefully look a lot better than just the credits & help info popping up instantaneously.
