Lynx supplied a photo of the period credits page (preserved at
reference/manual/credits_page.webp). It confirms, corrects and completes
the oral-history identifications:
- ECH = Eric Huffman (Audio Director / 3D audio framework) -- corrects the
uncertain "Eric Nichols" guess
- JMA = Joanna Mason (Simulation Code and Cameras) -- inferred mapping
confirmed
- CPB = Chris Brewer: "Secondary/Auxiliary Screens and Low Level I/O" --
the exact MFD gauge/mode layer this project reconstructs
- GDU = Gabe Underwood: "Simulation Code and 'Mech Internal Systems" --
the heat/coolant/generator/seek economy
- Full roster: Jordan Weisman (producer/designer), David McCoy (art
director), J.M. Albertson (technical director), Bill Redmann (corporate
director of technology), plus Corson, Edsall, Ciolek, Olsen, the artists
(Burlington, Molitor, McCoy, Story; Allen Workshop: Bonilla, Peters) and
sound (Bing McCoy, Effinger, Huffman).
- 10 software engineers + 6 artists == Lynx's "maybe 8 dev, 6 art" memory.
