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.

Zero judgements from me but how many games are on your Steam wishlist rn?
Do you go through regularly and chop stuff? Mine's gone a little wild and I'm curious about how other people manage it!

Jess from @mischiefmakers.studio gave me one of her 3D printed burger trucks from her forthcoming game, Burger Bois. Un/fortunately, the print was a bit flawed so I had to zhuzh it up somehow. I give you the Burger Truck of the Apocalypse.

However, I’m not giving up on Gamer just yet because I believe in the importance of strong, independent games coverage at Aunty (and @gdig.bsky.social can’t be left to his own devices, let’s be honest). I’ll be knocking on every door in the building to prove its value before I go.
