Those that know me well, probably know how much crediting means to me in the gaming industry. I worked for years with the @igda.org Game Credits SIG making sure we have a solid credit policy guideline for studios to apply freely igda.org/sigs/credits/
Game Credits – IGDA

Did you know that missing credits can ruin careers, yet countless devs are excluded? Our alpha build for The Arab League of Misfits has a complete credits sequence. It might not be much for some, but all of our contributors (and of course licenses) get attribution on day one. #indiegames #ALoM

I'm dissapointed that only 3 people noticed and messaged me about the fact I drew an old timey moustache onto @ramiismail.com in the last @thegig.bsky.social newsletter that promoted his courses 😄
When @yug.bsky.social asked me which photo to use I remarked that my press photo is so old that I don't even have my moustache yet, he reassured me with 'I got you' and then sent me this for approval 30 minutes later.
