Demonschool Overhauls Credits to Spell Out Each Developer’s Work

Necrosoft says the approach helps contributors document specific work for future job applications.

Overview

  • The game’s end credits list each contributor with a name, title, and a paragraph describing their concrete contributions.
  • Roughly 145 people who worked on the project over multiple years are credited, including those who left before release.
  • Necrosoft asked partner companies for individual names so contractors received personal credit, including first-time credits for some Bit Egg staff in Thailand.
  • Developers and some players have welcomed the format, which makes it easier to identify who handled specific elements such as individual art assets.
  • Director Brandon Sheffield says the approach could scale to larger teams and challenges common practices that obscure or omit individual attributions.
