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.
  • 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. He also acts as outsourced tech support on the public server.
  • Cid: A Pokémon spriter in Phazyxel's absence, he helps with overworlds, icons, and backsprites.
  • The Black Phoenix: Creates custom cries for many of the forms in the game, both canon Regional Variants and custom forms and Mega Evolutions.

Inactive Staff

  • Phazyxel: Also known as Ziggy. He was a spriter for the project, having designed a few regional variants and edited the overworlds, backsprites, and menu icons for several others. He is currently not spriting due to artistic burnout.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • 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.
  • WerewolfMonkey: An artist on hand to help with drawing official art for the Regional Variants and Mega Evolutions.
