These are good credits. Ultimately credits are just going to be (basically) a blob of text in your game resources. It should not be hard to add detail.
If I ever manage to move on from my current job working for tha' man and get back to making my own games, I would start doing credits like this.

Demonschool's credits show rest of games industry how it's done

a screenshot from demonschool's credits outlining the roles of brent porter, 3d art lead ("Did most of the 3D modeling and rigging as well as creating most backgrounds. Also developed the lighting scheme and the visual style used in tiling and texture work. Created a number of the 2D battle and NPC sprites and visual effects, as well as preproduction concept art, including determining the final proportions of battle characters.") and catherine menadbe, 2d art lead ("Created most avatars and poses, all overlays and menu art, the game logo, and well as a large number of 2D battle and NPC sprites. Responsible for the look and flow of almost all UI. Did 3D modeling and texture work for the clubhouse, main map, and several other locations. Also created the hero art for tradeshows and platforms.")

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."
A few days after this cartoon was published, my syndicate received a very indignant letter from someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute. Not only did my syndicate and I both get read the Riot Act, there was a vague implication that litigation over this cartoon might be around the corner. I was horrified. Not so much from a fear of being sued (I just couldn't see how this cartoon could be construed as anything but silly, but because of my deep respect for Jane Goodall and her well-known contributions to pri-matology. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way. Before I had a chance to write my apology, another complication arose. The National Geographic Society contacted my syndicate and expressed a desire to reprint the cartoon in a special centennial issue of their magazine. My editor, aware of what had just occurred, declined, explaining why. Apparently, whoever it was that sent the inquiry from National Geographic was shocked. They told my editor that "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They did some checking themselves, and an interesting fact was eventually discovered: Jane Goodall loved the cartoon. Furthermore, she was totally unaware that any of this "stuff" was going on. Some phone calls were made, and the cartoon was not only reprinted in the centennial issue of National Geographic, but was also used by her Institute on a T-shirt for fund-raising purposes. I've since had an opportunity to visit Dr. Goodall at her research facility in Gombe. It's a wonderful place (sort of like right out of National Geographic). "To refer to Dr. Goodall as a tramp is inexcusable even by a self-described 'loony' as Larson. The cartoon was incredibly offensive and in such poor taste that readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying news to persons with a better than average intelligence. The cartoon and its message were absolutely stupid." —Excerpt from the above-mentioned letter that started the ruckus

I feel odd about the one piggy eating roast beef. Feels wrong. Did the piggy who didn't eat roast beef want to consume cows? So many questions.

At long last, the latest #ttrpg has arrived from the @storybrewersroleplaying.com . Titled "My Late Father's Correspondence", it's a single player story told via the writing and recieving of letters. Always looking forward to diving into another masterpiece.

I can think of no greater incentive to assault ICE agents than the slim chance that it might be Dean Cain.

It’s hard to capture in a pic the size/energy of the crowd ready to march over the Syd Harbour Bridge but the station announcer at Wynyard:“don’t worry about tapping off, Transport NSW will work it out, gates are open, you’re heading for George St to the park, keep going, let’s free Palestine” 💕💕

Dear America, a billionaire also tried making a political party here in Australia. He called it the United Australia Party and when that failed, the Trumpet of Patriots (yes, you read that right). Both parties failed here.

It's pretty wild that almost everyone with even the vaguest interest in Star Trek took one look at Strange New Worlds and went, "Oh yeah, that's the fucking one" and Paramount went "Four and a half seasons, then it's back to learned helplessness."
