Once this node gets a bit bigger I might start organizing into subcategories based on things like whether the developer is an artist, a programmer, a sound engineer or whatever. /msg me your views if you want.
Feel free to /msg me if you come across a writeup of a developer that's not here. I might also pick up on any softlinks, but a /msg will attract my attention quicker.
I intend to add people to this list only when there are writeups for them, but I have a list on my computer of people I'm going to write up. If this is not the normal practice for metanodes someone please tell me, this is my first.
