Where to playThe About page on Total Jerkface is short and first-person. Jim writes that Fancy Force is his actual company name. The same page lists contact routes for him, for Jason Schymick, for the server admin, and for Steam support. The addresses are obfuscated, so I am not copying them. I am sending people to that page instead.
Names that show up in the credits
These are the roles I can attach to a source. I am not filling in a studio address, because I do not have a filing.
- Jim Bonacci: design, code, and art (Wikipedia and Steam).
- Jason Schymick: named on the official About page, and associated with the mobile apps in the community wiki.
- Goodboy Digital: the London studio Jim credited for the JavaScript port in the December 2020 news.
- Jack Zankowski: wrote the intro song “Superpretzel.”
- kwlsh: credited on the official site for the Steam port.
Total Jerkface is the site, Fancy Force is the company
