Where it came from
Legacy of the Wilds exists because of Survive the Wild, by Sam Tupy. That was the game most of us played first, and it is the reason this one has the shape it has.
This is not that game and does not pretend to be. The debt is real all the same, and it belongs written down rather than left unsaid.
Everyone else
Maps get built, sounds get recorded, translations get written, and bugs get found by people whose names are not on the list above. Every one of those changed the game for everybody who plays it.
