Hi! Dylan, the lead dev, speaking here for context. I've tried to compile a list of every tool and piece of work I've used in Dark Moon's development along with links to said tools and mods where applicable.
Inspiration
Dark Moon began as a personal modpack. I took Elden Ring: Reforged, Clever's Moveset Modpack, and a handful of other tweaks and began to try to merge. After some success I started making my own tweaks on top of the merge and realized, hey, maybe I should do this more seriously?
In the interim I decided I should demo some more overhauls before deciding on Reforged as a base. I fell in love with Elden Ring: Shattered almost immediately! I DM'd water_bear, its creator, and after receiving a reply with his blessing, I started work on what would become Dark Moon.
Shattered has since been pulled from Nexus as water_bear is focusing on other things. Dark Moon is also now basically indistinguishable from Shattered, standing alone as its own thing. That was my goal from the start.
That all being said, here's the credits for Dark Moon as it stands. If I missed someone or something please contact me on Discord or elsewhere so I can correct this! Also worth noting that a lot of the tools listed here have contributors linked that also deserve credit.
