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)

Tous les débats sur l'insécurité sur les plateaux devraient commencer par rappeler qu'il y a nettement moins de meurtres qu'il y a 50 ans, qu'il y a nettement moins de policiers tués qu'il y a 50 ans, mais qu'en revanche la statistique qui a augmenté c'est celle-là.

Du coup on rappelle quand même qu'une employé de Tecmo a accusé Itagaki d'harcèlement sexuel, que lui a certifié qu'elle était consentante, qu'il a été innocenté par une enquête interne mais que, particulièrement au Japon, les femmes n'obtiennent quasiment jamais gain de cause dans ces histoires.
Itagaki was legendary in the games press for being confrontational as hell, in the dead or alive/ninja gaiden 1 and 2 era he was always good for a wild quote, which English speaking audiences didn’t often get from Japanese devs. Kind of an asshole rockstar persona, another rare thing in games.
