(Markus, and later Jens “Jeb” Bergensten, coded the original launch version; Daniel Rosenfeld, known as C418, wrote the music; the Swiss artist Kristoffer Zetterstrand did the in-game paintings ; I wrote the narrative ending.

The later team also contributed to later releases of the game I'm sure, as well as customer service, working in the canteen etc., but he's not making an unreasonable point about his contribution.
