Hello, Bluesky! I'm probably best known for my work @ Naughty Dog, where I spent 21+ years helping make Uncharted, TLOU2, & Jak. Prior to that, I worked in feature/tv animation, including a certain RHCP video. Currently doing game narrative consulting, baking, walking my dog, & not sleeping enough

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I am generally okay with this, especially the films in first & last place
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
Demonschool: Is OUT. It's out. Finally it is out. We hope you enjoy it.
