@talkinghenry.bsky.social if you’re staying though the weekend you should try to get to the museum of the moving image in Astoria.

demonschool credits all 145 people who touched the game over the course of its multi-year dev cycle AND explains what exactly they contributed. the rest of the games industry, which commonly omits people from credits entirely, should be taking notes
![“We worked [on Hyper Gunsport] with a localization company that refused to give the names of the people that actually did the work; they just wanted to have their company name in there,” Sheffield said. “They say they do that because ‘It's the standard’ and ‘to avoid poaching’ or whatever, but I hate that and think it's total BS. … I've also seen a lot of folks complain about how they weren't credited on a game because they'd left the studio before the game they worked on was finished. And indeed, our lead 3D artist left two years ago. But he's still the first artist credited because he set the style and visual tone for a lot of the game. Not working on the game to the very end doesn't negate the work he did.”
The more Sheffield thought about how to meet the needs of so many different types of contributors – and discussed the matter on social media – the more a comprehensive, detail-oriented approach to crediting started to make sense.
“That had all been percolating in the back of my mind as we got close to finishing, and then it just sort of hit me as it came time for me to write the credits,” he said. “I discussed this approach with the team and everyone was fine with it, so we just went for it. We always want to credit everyone that touched the game, so even though the core team was 7 or 8 people at any given time, we credited around 145 people in Demonschool. Who cares if it's a lot of people? Who cares if it's long? They all did something and they deserve credit. And you basically can tell who the core team was by reading the descriptions. None of us are precious about that anyway.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreibksibak2xsgvbrid7evym3utz6yzfccilowfs7apv7b2sddssd3q@jpeg)

I listen to a handful of video game podcasts where the hosts have new games to talk about ever week. And yet wario will post about Dragon Cafe 5: The Valor of Dark Roast or Genesis Noir, and I’m reminded there are a million billion games I’ve never heard of and only so many life minutes.

Want to see some of the most awkward people? Just watch the stock exchange closing bell video feed that plays every day. How they clap and cheer for our great economy. Praise the line and may it always go up.

Japanese game cover design is widely admired by players, a true craft they have perfected over the years. In an effort to make their product stand out, many studios explored a more tactile range of materials. The resulting effect is as amusing today as it is instantly nostalgic.🧵

Available now on Steam. It’s crazy how different the sims 1 and 2 are, in terms of fidelity. The sims 1 is an amazing feat but the sims 2 will always be the GOAT for me.

“It’s all a Spirit Halloween of the soul.” might be my new favorite line from @natedimeo.bsky.social. Nate I would buy that on a graphic tee.

You ever go into the fridge to get a Fresca and call it a “Frescer” to be funny and then yell “Fresker!” like how Barry yells “Wesker!” in Resident Evil and make yourself laugh? Yeah me neither.

I got this game from a kickstarter in 2014. I’ve never really played it because it’s super complicated but I love the art. My 7-year-old and I made up our own rules. I’m glad he likes the art too.
