Fact check: Trepang2 is a FPS game developed by a four-men team named ‘Trepang Studio’, alongside having dozens of other people involved in its game development, including Gianni Matragrano.

1. Summary of the results

The statement contains both accurate and potentially misleading information. Trepang2 is indeed a first-person shooter game developed by Trepang Studios, which consists of a four-person core team ^{[1] [2]}. The core team members are specifically identified as:

• Wilson Chung (Programmer, Designer)
• Brandon Tran (Level Designer, Writer, Voice Actor)
• Jacob "Kopter" Andersson (Technical Artist, Animator)
• Brandon McKagan (Level Designer, Composer) ^[2]

The game was published by Team17 in June 2023 for Windows, with a later console release in October 2023 ^[3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual details are missing from the original statement:

• The game's development began in 2016 as a hobby project by a single person before expanding to a four-person team ^[1]
• The project initially started as a way to learn Unreal Engine ^[1]
• The studio is based in Vancouver, Canada ^{[1] [3]}
• The game had multiple development stages, including public demos before its final release ^[1]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

There are two potentially misleading elements in the original statement:

1. Team composition clarity: While the statement mentions "dozens of other people involved," none of the sources verify this claim. The sources consistently emphasize a four-person core team ^{[1] [2]}.

2. Gianni Matragrano's involvement: None of the provided sources confirm or mention Gianni Matragrano's involvement in the project ^{[1] [2] [4]}. This claim cannot be verified based on the available analyses.

This kind of misrepresentation could potentially benefit:

• Marketing efforts trying to present the game as a larger production than it actually was
• Individual claims of involvement that might be difficult to verify
• The studio itself, if trying to appear larger or more established than its actual size
