Just thought about new animations for Spiral knights while 'brb' in the Clockworks.

Let me start:

If you stand still in the Clockworks, you always are in a 'ready to fight'-stance. Why not change it when you stand still for 10-15 seconds or so that you make a special animation?

Any Slow Sword (Grintovec and Avenger for example): The Knight holds it in both hands in a way to look at his mighty weapon in fashion.

Any Normal Speed Sword (Non-Piercing) (Calibur and Brandish for example): The Knight holds the Sword in both hands ready to parry an attack.

Any Normal Speed Sword (Piercing) (Flourish and Snarble Barb for example): The Knight holds it with his 2 hands stabbing thin air in front of him.

Any fast Sword (Striker for example): The Knight somewhat performes a 'Blade Dance' with his sword.

Any Gun (Autogun and Firotech Alchemer for example): The Knight looks through the guns visor (or just on top of it) and seems to try to aim and land a perfect shot.

Any Bomb (Nitronime and Freezing Vaporizer for example): The Knight removes some dust that got on the bomb and (maybe) almost causes it to detonate.
Also for bombs another 'ready-to-fight' animation: Instead of holding it like a sword the Knight holds it with both Hands.

Thoughts about that? Also 1st post :D

Uh-huh...

Because people normally stand still in the CW for 30 seconds...

Honestly, I don't see why you'd need this. The only way anyone would see it is if you intentionally stood still to see it.

Love it. I don't care if we will rarely see it, it's a lil easter egg, and those are always cool.

animation ?? not that hard at all, just programming it in can get a bit tricky~ so not to alter any existing code, but i can tell you that as far as making a nice lil idle animation, it wouldn't be that hard

Forwarning: For the sake of this post, I'm going to manipulate the usage of everyone else's attitude towards Dev progress for my own benefit. :P

It's not like the Dev's are working on anything else important

I don't think the animations

I don't think the animations should be weapon specific.

As much as that would be nice it would be a lot easier to implement if they were a bit more general.
