I agree with Ingo, even though I create levels. Although it is an
important job, it is not the most important one. I think it is a little
unfair that programmers, gfx designers etc. are shown only if the player
chooses to view the credits, but the level creators are shown every time
a level is started. It's not that I wouldn't want to be credited if my
levels make it into the game (as one of my next goals in life is my name
to appear on the credits of an official debian package :-) ), but I
think it's fair to put the level designer's names in the credits file
under "Level Designers", among all the other people who worked on the game.
Just my two cents.
