Ragnarok Raven
Ragnarok Raven (informally the Sardonyx Team) is the official name for the development team of Pokémon Sardonyx: Raised to Win. It is composed primarily of old friends and alumni from the now-defunct Pokémon Acanthite fangame project. As such, while this is the first real project for the team, most of them have at least minimal experience in making a Pokémon fangame.
Active Development Team
- Keileon: Also known as Kuda. The co-lead developer of the project, she handles most of the graphics for the game (both ingame and promotional) and is primarily a concept artist, spriter, and mapper. She also manages the website, wiki, Discord server, and Twitter account for the game.
- Lord X-Giga-X: Typically known as Giga and more rarely as L2XG. The other co-lead developer, he handles events and scripts for the project, as well as implementation of mechanics and sprite/map fixes. While both he and Keileon direct the story, Lord X-Giga-X is the one who generally comes up with the specifics. He provides official update posts for the Relic Castle thread.
- Nebulon Ranger: Also known, among other names, as Dark. He is the lead composer for the project and hosts the wiki.
- Phazyxel: Also known as Ziggy. He is a spriter for the project, having designed a few regional variants and edited the overworlds, backsprites, and menu icons for several others.
- Sinder: Originally put on the team as a tile artist, Sinder ended up being more of a programmer and is responsible for making the launcher and patcher for the game.
- Komodo Dragontaile: A trainer spriter for the team. So far he has only made Zoltan's updated trainer sprite.
- Cid: A Pokémon spriter in Phazyxel's absence, he helps with overworlds, icons, and backsprites.
Inactive Staff
- Kicock: He was a composer for the game. He voluntarily left the team due to unfortunate circumstances after creating a few tracks for the game.
- BatterymanAAA: Also known as Triple-A. He was a spriter for the project and designed several regional variants along with their overworlds. Unexpectedly vanished and shows no signs of returning.
- Byrdboi: He was a composer who had to step back due to real life getting in the way. However, he composed several WIP tracks and is allowing Ragnarok Raven to use them as needed.
Supporting Team
- Timbernator: A friend of the developers, she is a supporting promotional artist and has also provided volume balancing for certain music tracks. She is considered "on call" when needed.
- 5P4CEKA7: Also known more commonly as Spacekat. He is a promotional artist and has provided some official art for the project.
- DapperDelta: Known in shorthand as Delta. She is a concept artist for human character art.
- Fangking Omega: Also known as Captain Library and the former lead developer of Pokémon Acanthite. He is on hand primarily for consultation and providing resources when needed.
- Nebby: On hand to assist with editing the wiki so that the developers may focus on the game itself.
