• Theme The visual style (see Theme Reference below).
• Font Family Choose a font that matches the atmosphere (e.g., Teko, Impact, Serif).
• Sub Text Font Main text and sub text can now use different fonts. When unset, defaults to the main font.
• Bold & Italic Toggle B / I buttons next to each font selector for independent main/sub styling.
• Speed Multiplier Adjust the pacing of the entire sequence from 0.5x (Slow Motion) to 2.0x (Fast Paced). Use slower speeds for dramatic reveals and faster speeds for high-energy action.
• Audio
  • Voice (Start) Plays when the sequence begins (e.g., "Let's do this!").
  • SFX (Start) Background ambience or intro swoosh.
  • Finish Sound (End) Crucial! This sound plays at the very end of the animation (e.g., Shattering glass, Explosion).
• Center Message The text that appears in the middle of the screen (e.g., ALL-OUT ATTACK, TIME TO FINISH IT!).
  • You can now customize Color, Shadow, Size, and XY Position independently for Main and Sub text.
• Shake Intensity How violently the screen shakes at the finale.
• Link Combat (Checkbox) When enabled, the system will automatically:
  1. Roll Initiative for each participant when they join
  2. Start Combat when all participants are Ready
  • Perfect for transitioning directly from a cinematic intro into battle!
