I m not surprised by his quality, there was such a dose of talent. In the team.

A case that is not isolated: Tania Penaranda, a 3D facilitator now at Pendulo, also confirmed that his name had disappeared from the credits, while she worked on the game between November 2019 and May 2020, reocnant even number of his own animations in the final product. At least two other sources that wanted to remain anonymous confirmed that they were concerned, one of them slippery in Vandal that this kind of practice was commonplace.

Contacted by Vandal, Studio Mercurysteam responded by the voice of a spokesman that this situation corresponded to an internal policy: a person who worked on a game that less than 25% of his total development time will appear not in his credits. According to the sources of Vandal, the development of Metroid Dread would have lasted between three and four years. Mercurysteam would have erased slates the contributions of developers who would have been less than a quarter of this period.

The latter has indeed discovered that Mercurysteam imposed on its contracts a notice of 42 days, much longer than the minimum 15 days required by the Spanish labor law, and likely to trigger a financial penalty in case of non-compliance.
