33 was made by far more than 30 people. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/no-clair-obscur-expedition-33-wasnt-made-by-30-people

So they had like 8 animators hired to help, with animation of characters, and some musicians (for music) and translators for localisation ect. ect.

Yeah its more than 30 people,... but like it's not 200-500 people working on it like with AAA games.

And honestly, I don't blame them for getting some extra help....
they are a tiny studio, that made a wonderful game, pretty cheaply, while teaching themselves how to do certain tasks (learning on the go), and doing multiple roles of things themselves.

There is also QA testers. Audio peoples. Looking closer to over 100 people. Shin'En is a studio of 5 people.
