The developer of an indie game called Twilight Moonflower has finally finished fulfilling the ill-conceived promise that led to them having to add the names of 65,000 people who didn't work on their game to its credits.
Indie developer ConnectedShadowGames was finishing work on Twilight Moonflower when he admitted on social media that he was disappointed by the length of the credits due to the small team working on the game (thanks, Automaton). In an effort to give them a little boost, it posted a call to action saying that anyone who likes the post will have their name added to the headlines.
ConnectedShadowGames asked for 100 likes and got almost 65,000
It was hoped that about 100 people would hit the Like button, so the Twilight Moonflower subtitles would be a bit longer. Instead, the post went viral and 64,901 people ended up liking it. Instead of randomly selecting 100 of those likes or limiting them to a slightly larger number, ConnectedShadowGames has followed through on its original promise and every single person who liked its post will now appear in the game's captions.
Adding all these names to the credits added 300 hours to Twilight Moonflower's development time. Now that the promise has been fulfilled and all the names are there, the indie game is ready for release. It launches tomorrow, January 30, and every last one of the 64,901 people who like the studio's post will be able to find their name in the credits.

Twilight Moonflower credits are now over 30 minutes long
However, with so many names out there now, it could take some work. ConnectedShadowGames shared a snippet of what the credits now look like, revealing that it will now take more than 30 minutes to play through the entire sequence. Quite a commitment, but kudos to the developers for keeping their promise when it would have been much easier and forgivable to retroactively put a breakpoint there.
To anyone else planning to do something like this, maybe add the “first 100 people” qualifier to your post before you hit submit.
If you're one of the nearly 65,000 people included in the Twilight Moonflower credits, you'll be able to buy the game on Steam tomorrow. Even if you're not into the headlines, you can check out the game's trailer above and see if it's for you. If you're a fan of Japanese horror, then this is probably worth checking out. Up to four people can play at once, and while it may not be on the same level as Silent Hill f, it looks like it might scratch the surface for a certain type of player.

Most of us would probably kill the poor thing, but Obsidian included this moth in a special thanks for The Outer Worlds 2.
