Our Team

Jason, Dan, and Craig grew up across the street from each other in the California Bay Area. They grew up making and playing games together, and their shared childhood experiences have come to shape their style and rock-solid cohesiveness as Cicada Games.


Jason Newman
Game Design, Art, Programming, Marketing


Jason has a wide variety of experiences that allow him to fill any role. He has degrees in graphic design and computer science, and has worked in various fields from traditional printing to video editing. He has been making games for Dan and Craig to enjoy since childhood.

Dan Collver
Producer, QA, Marketing


Dan is the glue that holds the machine together, a jack of all trades, and a world record holding speedrunner to boot! This experience has granted him a superhuman level of patience, an eye for detail, and a certain imperviousness that is required for indie game development.

Craig Collver
Music, Sound Design

Craig has been making music for Jason’s projects for over 10 years. His music has, without fail, garnered hugely positive attention for our games. He has a particular talent for creating thematic music that fits any setting, driving home the themes and player experiences that are so important to us.
