boxart extensions

Extensions in this section convey information about your game. It's not intended to be an exhaustive list of credits. You should limit the information to principal participants, celebrities you'd like to give billing too in order to make your game stand out, or just anyone of relative importance to the production of the game. For a small team there's probably room for everyone. For a mostly "one man" team, consider using #game_auteur in order to credit "the man". Information in this section is used in much the same way as that of the #Author section, however it differs in that the information provided is merely superficial and translators are encouraged to translate the information where applicable.
