I randomly thought about the fact that in the French version of Breath of Fire for GBA, translated from the English translation rather than the Japanese game, antidotes are called "fourmi", the French word for ant.

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.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a  pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

"Text and image generation uses on-device AI technologies to quickly respond to requests. Turning this settings off will not affect apps and features using cloud AI technologies.

Text and image generation
Windows and anyone using this device can use Text and image generation.

It's a very minor complaint and I know it's absolutely nothing compared to a lot of the bad things happening right now but as someone working in Japan and earning a Japanese salary, US-developed tools are EXPENSIVE.
