A list of the developers of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. While it tries to be as exhaustive as possible some names might have been left out. If so, feel free to update this page accordingly.
You can support the hosting of this wiki, and the item browser (as well as a lot of the pixels and sounds) by giving money to this Patreon.
If you want to become a developer yourself check this section below. If you want to contribute in a different way, that is also possible
Core Developers
Active
- Kevin Granade
Programmer and co-creator of the original Cataclysm mod who also revises GitHub pulls and does tons of other ungrateful stuff. He claims to have vivid recurrent nightmares of him working on making planes not crash. So vivid that he uses to suddenly wake up while yelling "No more money, please! Nooooo!". Poor chap.
- Angela "Rivet-the-Zombie" Graves
Content creator and self-taught programmer responsible for adding items, bionics, traits and mutations, animals, monsters, recipes, and bug fixes. Has been connected to the mysterious Rivtech company. If you encounter some item in your DDA experience, there's a pretty good chance Rivet made it. We do not call her work Legion, because there is much more of it than that.
- Christian "i2amroy" Buskirk
Content creator and partially self-taught programmer. Handles lots of behind the scenes reworking of old systems and attempts to keep the github issue list organized. Responsible for the current weight and money systems and many aspects of the fungaloid menace.
- BevapDin
Code Wrangler. If there's infrastructural code in the game, he's probably touched it and made it better at some point. Bugs fixed in 48 hours or your money back. Rumors that he is a sentient AI (just look at his avatar!) have been dismissed as made-up nonsense.
- Narc0tiq
A stealthy dev who thought minimizing the amount of times xe touches the code ("Just importing stuff from Goon Days Ahead, don't mind me") would keep xem under the metaphoric radar. Too bad xe's also the engineer driving our build machine. It is not by will alone that we set DDA in motion. It is by the Linode of Narc that code acquires speedy compilation, compilation acquires hosting. The hosting attracts a playerbase. It is not by will alone that we set DDA in motion.
- Sean "ChestHole" Osman
Provides the ChestHole tilesets and soundsets, hosts the item browser, and this wiki.
Retired
- Kevin "GlyphGryph" McKayven
Master and commander of this and any other website related to Cataclysm: DDA. Yes, all of them. Even those who he doesn't host. He also coded some over-powered critters whenever the playerbase started to forget what their position in the Pyramid of Cataclysm Life is. All hail the GlyphGryph. Still active in web maintenance and Kickstarter fulfillment, but no longer a developer.
- Sean "GalenEvil" McLaughlin
The guy who was finally hired with the funds from Kickstarter. He's the underdog. The kid waiting in the sideline while been bullied by the older guys. He's now in the big league. And he surely won't disappoint us. Bless him. Update: He did.
- Zachary "Whales" Jenkins
Creator of the original Cataclysm game. He actually was never directly involved with either the mod or this branch of the game. His inclusion in this list has nothing to do with that mysterious threatening letter that arrived just a minute ago.
- "The Darkling Wolf"
Co-creator of the original Cataclysm mod that lead to this branch, or expansion, or game, or... well, to this. Once his main goal was accomplished he disappeared back into the woods, knowing that his evil masterplan of creating an extremely addicting... something... was well underway. Legend says that he will come back once the entire Earth population is under this mind-controlling device of a game.
- Ethan "Soron" Kaminski
The developer intended to be hired with the funds from the Kickstarter campaign, who went MIA while it was running. Some people start to wonder if he ever existed. Or was he an alter-ego of The Darkling Wolf, known for loving to toy with simple souls?
- KA101
Content creator, self-taught programmer, and resident Chief Doctor of Mutation Sciences. Responsible for most of the mutations, mutation copy editing, mutation thresholds/addiction, the martial arts systems, and loads of bug fixes. Probably even more than is listed here, this guy keeps really busy!
