So, I'm filling out the export page, and I'm curious about how to credit on programming. Obviously, Joe did most of the coding on pretty much all of our projects (I'm sure someone out there gutted everything and went from near scratch), so I'm thinking he gets first billing. After that, a lot of us are using scripts by other members on the board, so it seems only right to credit them as well, and finally ourselves if we wrote any scripts as well. Does this sound about right ?

since this is a compo for making games with nesmaker, i dont think it's necessary to write "joe granato" to every game really, though ofcourse what you said is true, we're all sitting on an engine he wrote.
as for other people, the way i planned on doing my credits was just to thank the nesmaker community, and list myself and a friend of mine who works on some engine things as programmers, and the composer (you lol) as a composer.
i dont know about others, but whatever i shared on the forum i handed out there for anyone to grab and use and modify as they wish and while im not complaining if someone feels i helped them enough to get mentioned there, im not expecting
or requiring that. being credited from public domain scripts is more like an act of courtesy than a requirement really, unless someone explicitly stated that the use of their scripts requires creditation, which i dont recall seeing for anything anyone shared so far. (granted i've hardly gone through every forum post of every shared script here, so i might be wrong.)
obvious exceptions would propably be things like jorotroids scroll core, which is so massive that i feel if i would implement it on the compo demo, it would definitely warrant a creditation.

Like Mugi, I will give special thanks for the NESMaker community but keep my main credits for people who would be direclty involved in a huge part of my game.
I don't need someone credit me for my scripts or my help... keep that for your partners. Just a thank you (message/PM/email/... postcards/beers/coffees...
) is what I need <3
