Credits and licences
Who made Block Band and what it uses. The built-in music, its SoundFont, controller button art, and how AI was used to build it.
The same credits are in the game: Credits in the Block Band menu.
Block Band
Block Band is made by Hardline Interactive, the studio of Taylor Gibbs, and vibe coded with Claude Code (AI), Anthropic’s AI coding assistant. Claude wrote the code, the pixel art (drawn by scripts it wrote), the song arrangements and charts, and this guide, under Taylor’s direction, and Taylor tested and shaped every part of it. We’d rather you knew.
