credits.json

The credits screen is data-driven. Provide a credits.json in your mod root and ALE Psych will load it automatically.

File Structure

Top-level object with a categories array. Each category groups developers.

{
        "categories": []
        }
    

Categories

Each category object defines a group:

{
        "name": "My Category",
        "developers": []
        }
    

• name : Label shown in the credits menu.
• developers : Array of developer entries.

        "link": "https://example.com/",
        "description": "Collaborated on my mod as a coder",

Developer Notes

• Use consistent icon sizes (recommend 128x128 PNG) for best results.
• Missing icons leave blank space.
• Validate JSON formatting; errors prevent credits from loading.
• Keep descriptions concise for readability.
