Does anyone have a complete list of everyone who worked on ZC and what they did? I've been keeping some notes, between what I personally knew way back when, and what I was able to pick up asking a few people. (information listed in quotation marks is a secondhand quote from who I asked.)
Partly I want to know out of curiousity and a sense of respect, and partly I am also thinking about listing all the ZC developers in the end credits of the quest I am making (which has a scripted scrolling end credits text sequence, NES-style). It would be neat to have a section that says "ZELDA CLASSIC STAFF" and just list everybody; after all, plenty of quests list old "Miyahon" and the like thanks to the Zelda 1 credits.
Below is my incomplete, WIP list. It probably contains errors. Any information about who was involved, what they contributed and when (even if they are no longer staff) is welcome.
--- Definitely Staff / Developers
- Phantom Menace (original creator, 1998-2000)
- DarkNation (updated and expanded ZC solo from 2000 until... 2011? Lead Developer until he passed away)
