Credits
Although I made Impress Conference by myself, I used a lot of pre-made assets and photos that I repurposed. Unless one is planning to spend months or years on a project, it's the only way for a solo developer to work efficiently. Most of these people are credited in the game, but I put them here to more directly link to either the creators or their work, to include a few I overlooked, and to go into a little more detail in my thanks.
First up is one I completely forgot to include: the game literally would not have been possible without Unity UI Extensions, specifically the UI Line Renderer. The line plots representing Covid-19 infections and the Dow Jones are critical pieces of the game, and without the extensions allowing me to create lines in Unity's UI (which the normal line renderer does not), I would have been SOL.
Royalty free music from Fesliyan Studios. "News network music" is practically a subgenre of its own, and these compositions really help set the faux news-y tone I'm going for.
Special Thanks to Phillip Christian, Ruben Gonzales, Jesse Holmes, Exal Iraheta, Philipp Gaissert, Zack Peercy, Bradley Steele, and the Horde. These folks either offered moral support or playtested the game in its various iterations, which helped me correct some mistakes I was making or think up new approaches that made the game even better.
I cut up a lot of photos of Donald Trump, in a way that ought to qualify as fair use. Some images I was not able to track down who the photographer and rights holder was, in which case I just linked to the site I got them from. The owners retain the rights to their photos.

For graphics and icons I went with free resources I was able to scrounge up online. The flag is a product photo for a flag stand sold at Home Depot, for which I'm claiming fair use; in no way is Home Depot harmed by the usage.
