http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2011-06-06-100-devs-protest-omission-from-l-a-noire-credits We've talked about this in the past but we haven't talked about it recently. I'm tossed up, on one hand who cares, they can confirm employment a few different ways; * They can call "was so and so an employee? Yes. Thank you.…
if you like credits, don't work in TV. ever notice how long the credits are at the end of shows that even air them? yeah, like, 15-20 ppl. that's basically the guest star, and the guys at the top. nothing for the other 100-300 ppl working on the show. I've spent 5 years in film, and worked on dozens of features, and…
'tis called MobyGames http://www.mobygames.com/game/xbox360/la-noire/credits Seems like everyone uncredited is accounted for there. developer example: http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,16262/
yeah, TV credits are fun. They're shown for a fraction of a second after the show, and many networks don't even show them at all and rather cue to some ads or whatever. TV credits cost money since networks rather show ads than waste cash on showing credits. On a game that's not really the case unless you're nitpicky about…
bad organization skills. how hard can it be to get a dump of the people's names you assigned tasks to in your task tracking software. Or check which artists contributed to your alienbrain/p4 depot Or check who had windows accounts/permissions to your project group Or check your organisation chart where you assign people to…
If you don't get credited, then its kind of like someone else has credit for work you contributed. I'm not talking portfolio stealing, just figuratively speaking. Or it's like, these people did work that's worth listing, you didn't. I doubt anyone taking issue with it cares about proving they worked on the project, it's…
I'll never understand this practice of excluding people from game credits. It happens all to often in the case when an employee is fired or laid off, even if their work ends up in the game. From my perspective, credits are essentially free to create, just add their name to the list and forget about it. If a person did any…
meh. I've been uncredited on a few games. IGDA has a guideline for this: http://www.igda.org/sites/default/files/IGDA_Game_Crediting_Guide_Draft_8-5.pdf Fucked up thing is, I was uncredited on a title with one of the draftees credited with upkeeping this standard on behalf of the IGDA. It really has no bearing on anything.…
This is pretty weird. On the one hand I'm not overly surprised by this revelation given Team Bondi's reputation when it comes to their treatment of employees and the like, but on the other, I'm pretty sure I saw mention on Tsumea and similar sites that they were making extra effort to hunt down everyone who'd worked on the…
