In September 2017, the [[@StrongBadActual]] Twitter account {{prs|906297547584569344|8|Sep|2017|alt=posted an animated GIF of "Stinkoman level 10 relic[s]"}} featuring multiple enemy sprites. Jez Swanson ({{@|jezzamonn}}) responded to this Tweet, volunteering to code the rest of the game, to which @StrongBadActual replied "{{prs|906354200963112960|8|Sep|2017|alt=You better watch out or Videlectrix gone hire you! How do you feel about Actionscript 1.terrible?}}". Swanson replied that he was familiar with {{wp|ActionScript}}, and went on to become the official programmer of level 10.

In April 2018, Jez Swanson made a GIF of [[Stinkoman]] punching a picture of [[Bubs]] (referencing [[the next april fools thing]]). @StrongBadActual {{prs|982586862241042432|7|Apr|2018|alt=Tweeted the GIF}}, thanking Swanson and telling him to "get back to work on level 10".

]WOAH! THE Crap Incarnate? So awesomely disgusting! Anyway, what do you mean how far I can jump? That's a vague question. It depends: Do I get a trampoline? Or a catapult? Or a cannon? Or am I just stuck on my two legs?

In September 2018, Strong Bad Tweeted at {{w|Owlchemy Labs}} (McInerney's studio at the time) {{prs|1042153439638302720|18|Sep|2018|alt=proposing a "VR train-dropping simulator"}}. McInerney ({{@|ColinMcInerror}}) responded, asking Strong Bad to contact him for any more questions, and [[twitter:ColinMcInerror/status/1042435818336473088|suggesting a VR]] [[StrongBadZone]]. Strong Bad responded with {{prs|1043162493118541825|21|Sep|2018|alt=StrongBadZone 3D models}}.

McInerney designed and programmed the VR game ''[https://colinmcinerney.itch.io/eye-eye-capn Eye, Eye, Cap'n!]'' in 24 hours for the [https://itch.io/jam/vr-austin-jam-2018 VR Austin Jam in November 2018]; [[Matt Chapman]] provided the voice for Cap'n Capman, whose name alludes to "Chapman". @StrongBadActual {{prs|1065595824468570112|22|Nov|2018|alt=promoted the game}}, noting the voice's similarity to [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]. In Owlchemy Labs' 2019 game [https://vacationsimulatorgame.com/ Vacation Simulator], Matt is again listed among the voice cast. In {{prs|1219062516548063232|19|Jan|2020|alt=January 2020}}, and again in {{prs|1308780684304146432|23|Sep|2020|alt=September 2020}}, @StrongBadActual promoted ''[https://www.lars-olson.com/all-hams-on-deck No Hams On Deck]'', a mobile game by McInerney's new studio [[twitter:TBBGCO|The Bread & Butter Game Co]]. In this game, Matt's voice clips from ''Eye, Eye, Cap'n'' are re-used, and [[Mike Chapman]] voices Hog Bad, a pig who looks like [[Strong Bad]].

In October 2020, Colin appeared as a guest on the Homestar Runner fan podcast "[https://www.pipedreampodcasts.com/come-on-fhqwhpods Come On, Fhqwhpods!]", on the episodes for [https://www.spreaker.com/user/16768079/046-wheres-the-cheat Where's The Cheat?] and [https://www.spreaker.com/user/16768079/047-sbemail-band-names band names].

In December 2020, Colin McInerney was credited as a playtester for the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 10|tenth level]] of [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. Strong Bad thanked him in a {{prs|1340869551299448834|20|Dec|2020|alt=Tweet}}, proclaiming "No one else would have so bravely waded into testing a 15 year old web game for a dead media player!!"

He was credited as a [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]] programmer in August 2023. On his website, he elaborates: "I provided general {{w|Unity (game engine)|Unity}}/programming assistance, and was responsible for creating a custom dialogue box manager that sat on top of [https://adventurecreator.org/ Adventure Creator]. This allowed me to re-add features like special graphics for thinking textboxes, positioning the little speech tags, and a bunch of other fun tweakable things to make sure the text boxes were buttery-smooth."

=U.Z. Inu=
+
-
'''U.Z. Inu''' is the composer credited for [[Stinkoman 20X6]]'s [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 10|tenth level]]. They contributed three tracks: the level theme (a remix of [[Stinkoman Level 1]]), [[Z Sabre]]'s boss theme (a remix of the standard boss theme), and [[Mecha-Trogador]]'s boss theme (a remix combining Stinkoman Level 1 and [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]). Curiously, while all of the other credited contributors were [[twitter:StrongBadActual/status/1340869543833595905|thanked in a Twitter thread]] following the level's release, U.Z. Inu has never been acknowledged outside of the game's credits sequence.
+
-
 
+
-
==Connection to Toby Fox==
+
-
The name "U.Z. Inu" is likely a play on the Japanese localized name for the ''{{wp|Undertale}}'' character ''Annoying Dog'' (うざいイヌ, romanized as ''Uzai Inu''), which is often depicted as the avatar of developer and composer '''{{w|Toby Fox}}'''. The music uses a lot of Toby's signature composition habits and instrumentation, as well as sharing the same instrument samples that he would use in music for his games.
+
-
 
+
-
Toby Fox is a fan of Homestar Runner, directly citing it as the inspiration for a scrapped attack in ''Undertale'' in which the player would have to [[mile|jump over a row of buses]]. Most notably, his game ''{{w|Deltarune}}'' contains a music group known as the "[[Game Sightings#Deltarune|Sweet Cap'n Cakes]]", a reference to [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]; one of its members [https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/when-i-get-mad-i-dance-like-this plays a song very similar to the demo] that [[Casio Head Strong Bad]] plays.
+
-
 
+
-
At the time of level 10's release, no trace of U.Z. Inu could be found online. This changed in 2022, when U.Z. Inu was credited a second time; this time as composer and lyricist for "I'm Your Treasure Box" by ''Houshou Marine'', a Japanese ''Vtuber'' which Toby has previously thanked for playing his game ''Undertale'' on stream. This song was made in collaboration with musician Camellia, who had collaborated with Toby Fox on multiple occasions.
+
-
 
+
-
The secretive nature of the U.Z. Inu alias has since lead to hoaxes, such as a Toby Fox imitator using the name to release fan-made ''Deltarune'' music.

+
-
'''Rich Trott''' is a composer and playtester for [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]].
+
-
 
+
-
Throughout December 2022, Rich Trott ({{@|trott}}) would Tweet {{w|A Charlie Brown Christmas}}-style versions of the daily songs from the [[Decemberweenvent Calendar]], most of which were Retweeted by [[@StrongBadActual]]. In May 2023, Strong Bad Tweeted a jazz/funk remix of the theme from [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] as a teaser for [[Dangeresque Roomisode 2: The Intersection of Doom & Boom]]; he then Retweeted Trott's remix of this song, and challenged him to {{prs|1662909062034407429|28|May|2023|alt="jazz-interpret" a "little song I made up as I was reading the instructions for this shelf"}}. Trott responded with multiple covers of the song.
+
-
 
+
-
In August 2023, Rich Trott's [[Decemberweenvent Calendar]] covers of [[Stave It Off]] and [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]] were used in [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]]. The game's [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate Soundtrack|soundtrack]] was released later that month, containing 13 new arrangements of the music by Rich Trott, in addition to the two tracks that were used in the game.
