Crediting Yarn Spinner

Thank you for using Yarn Spinner! 💚 Please credit Yarn Spinner in your game.

How to credit Yarn Spinner

Put the credit somewhere your players can see it, like a splash screen, your end-game credits, an about screen, or your store listing. If you credit your other tools and middleware, like your game engine, put Yarn Spinner alongside them.

You can credit us with our logo, or in text. For text, we suggest:

You can reword this however you’d like, but we’d prefer if you kept the name ‘Yarn Spinner’, and the link to the website.
