Contributor List

Although FTK is primarily a one-man labor, there have been other assistants and helpers on-board.
== Developer (Singular) ==
=== Marecrisium / Kraz ===
Marecrisium (a.k.a. Mare, or formerly/interchangeably Kraz) is the lead developer and everything-er of FTK and FTK2.
====Contributions====
*Marecrisium is the lead designer, lead programmer, lead graphics artist, lead environmental designer, lead concept artist, lead producer, lead music director & composer, lead animator, lead normal artist, lead 3D artist (on some occasions), lead insane person, occasional playtester, and half-motivated individual of both FTK1 and FTK2.
*In short, he made the fucking games.
*He also manages KoishBox and the content regularly released to it, which is created and showcased there before appearing in FTK2 as a preview for players to test.
====Trivia====
* A massive chunk of the references FTK makes are derived from Mare's own interests and appeals, such as music taste, whatever is on Mare's mind at the moment, & certain video games.
** The most frequent references are to his favorite band Nine Inch Nails, though bands such as TOOL are starting to creep up here and there. In general, many music-based references are shout-outs to metal bands Mare enjoys.
*"Marecrisium" is derived from Mare Crisium, a lunar mare (sea) who's name is Latin for "sea of crises". It was picked due to the fact it's translated name is similar to a completely unrelated writing-based universe Mare manages called Crisis in the Cosmos.
*Koishi is, ironically, not one of Mare's favorite Touhou characters. She was picked entirely at random, because at the time making a game entirely about copies of his most preferredMare despises the term "waifu". (Utsuho Reiuji) would have been nightmarish due to the complexity of her design.
**For those curious, his actual top three are Minamitsu Murasa, Toyosatomimi no Miko, and Utsuho Reiuji.
*Mare deals with insomnia and demotivation on a regular basis.
==Major Contributors==
Contributors provide assistance with development such as ideas, playtesting, and suggestions.
===Discrud===
Discrud aka Crud (@ItsDiscrud) is one of Marecrisium's friends , and when it comes to FTK2, his primary insane idea ricocheter tool and "right-hand" (even though Crud does not directly develop FTK2).
====Contributions====
*The idea that Something Malicious should use a pathfinding script
*Spritework
*Bug-hunting & playtesting
*NUMEROUS designs and suggestions
====Trivia====
*After a traumatic experience on FTK1 (he spawned in the hidden Yukari room five times in a row), he's been living in fear of Yukari Yakumo ever since. Marecrisium regularly toyed with this fact until Crud reached a "state of acceptance".
*Any further information about Crud can be found on his Carrd.co.
*Crud may or may not be mentally insane.
*He has a preference for the color purple ourple.
=== Walfie ===
Walfie (@CathelDivinitas) is one of Marecrisium's friends and an occasional helper.
==== Contributions ====
* Original ideas for New Jershi and Nexishi Komeiji, and fuckloads more really
* Spritework
* Occasional bug-hunting, playtesting & suggestions
==== Trivia ====
* He currently has the most submitted Koishis in the game, at 14 (not including 6 Koishis designed).
* Nexishi Komeiji (exclusive to FTK1) and the Opulent-tier Koithel Komeiji (exclusive to FTK2) are based on Nexus Astralys and Cathel Divinitas, two OCs written and created by Walfie. The description for Nexishi (in the FTK1 Trello) was also his pick.
* Walfie is mostly responsible for the myriad of Azur Lane references in FTK2, which somewhat "began" when Roonishi (based on Roon, a favorite of his at the time) was implemented into Port Navalantys.
** The only AL references that Walfie had little-to-no part in are Akoigi (who was conceptualized and drawn by Marecrisium of his own conscious will, in order to spite a friend on a server he was in that greatly despised Akagi) and Shinanoshi (drawn for another person in the above-mentioned server upon request, as Mare was taking suggestions at the time).
* Walfie is the very first person to have obtained the badge "...OR THE SUN WILL NEVER SHINE", completed by 1CCing (in layman's terms, beating the level without dying) the level SL-1: FIRE IN THE SKY. The arduous task took several hours and was mostly broken by Walfie consistently dying to the Koishipiece ambush that occurs in the first half of the level, and Mare later rewarded Walfie with the role "CATHARSIS INOCULUM" on the Musings Productions server.
** Walfie is also the very first person to have obtained "SOME HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL", the badge for 1CCing the level SL-2: DREAMER, DECEIVER. His struggles with the Flesh Tesseract alone single-handedly compelled a rebalance of some of it's attacks. Like above, it was rewarded with a unique "ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION" role on the Discord.
