So I was in a heated argument when I was going to verify my facts before calling someone out for complaining about things without knowing their facts. As it turns out, I didn't know my facts either. When looking at the credits for Spiral Knights in-game, I find that someone new is listed:
Sylvain Royer - Engineer
I don't recall hearing anything about Sylvain joining the dev team, and he's not listed in the developer page on the wiki, nor the crew list on Three Ring's site.
A quick Google search gives us his LinkedIn profile, which says he has been working at OOO since September 2013, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't been listed under the credits for that long.
I guess the questions are:
Who is Sylvain?
When did he join the SK dev team?
Can I hug him?
A thought popped into my head: what if a someone uses a name change ticket to change the name to S. Royer :) Joking btw. Ya got me hav no clue. And yes you can hug him or [ketchup] him if you prefer that.
