UPDATE: ERR MAH GAWD. I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE VIBEALIA TEIR orz. Will be fixing very soon.
Another Patreon exclusive video! (till the game is released of course)
Interesting little tidbit... it turns out making text scroll from bottom to top isn't as simple as it sounds. I've encountered this issue with the original credit crawl but it didn't really hit me as an issue because it's something that you won't even notice if you don't know what you're looking for. It turns out that if you just scroll via keyframe without considering sub-pixel interpolation, you get this stutter-y and strobing effect that's really distracting at best and makes the font ineligible at worst. Because this is a "video game" though, and not traditional film, we were able to raise the fps to 60 (something I seldom do because we're aiming for a "cinematic" feel which its roots are at 24) which smoothed out most of the jitter but it still wasn't enough...
For those who are interested about professional level credit crawl making (which is apparently a thing!) you can read more about it in detail here:

We also used this video as a reference and modified the expression to fit our video:

Note: You can see font stuttering if you don't watch it in its native resolution (meaning if you watch it with its window size resized like how Youtube does by default) you may still see jittering.
Hope you found that interesting and maybe even useful to some creators out there.
