Below are the individual developers that make up the Videocult team, with the latest major release that they have worked on independently (aside from the contributions of Adult Swim Games) being game version 1.5, the Arena / Difficulty update. Quoted information is taken from the Videocult website and the Rain World game website.
Joar Jakobsson
- Concept, Programming, Art and Design
Joar is a Swedish illustrator and graphic designer who is obsessively interested in every art form there is. Torn between a compulsion to experience the world and a compulsion to never ever leave his desk, Joar especially enjoys game-making; believing it to be one of the most diverse creative mediums out there.

James Primate

Composer for numerous game soundtracks including Junk Jack X and Gnomoria, James is also one half of Chiptune duo Bright Primate and can usually be found making music with hacked Gameboys and such. In his spare time he enjoys pizza, synthesizers and vogon poetry. Hear his game work here.
Allegra "Del" Northern

Lydia Esrig
- Music and Audio, Voice Acting, Testing
Lydia is the other half of aforementioned Chiptune duo Bright Primate - she has written several Rain World songs and contributed to countless. Legend has it that below the many layers of filtering, the neon lizards' hiss is actually a Lydia Primate voice sample.
