Are there any projects you were more excited to work on that others?

• Is the PvP project done or can we expect more PvP content in the near future?

• Looking through the game file, I saw a file under Consumables that "stressed desserts"... food, that is. But the "food" file was empty. Are there plans for the implementation of edibles in Spiral Knights?

• Which of Spiral Knight's large features has been your favorite to work on?

• Where did 'Gyre-Of-Guile' come from?

• You're a 'Senior' engineer. Mark (Curio) is the 'Lead' engineer. How do your jobs relate? Does one of you answer to the other?

• To JUnit Test Case, or not to JUnit Test Case? That is the question.

• Do you advocate brute force in your code, or are you good at the whole OO thing?

• Java (the computer programmer's software friend)? Or Java (the computer programmer's caffeine friend)?

• Some people tell me, "Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots!" when I frequently propose large changes to the game on the Arsenal podcast. What do you think is a good pace for major game-changing updates (like PvP and the Guild Update)?

• Are there any special 'easter eggs' or 'sufficiently confusing features' (to paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke) in the game, such as special sounds, weapons, or events? I ask because one time, I was playing in a level and thought I saw something, even though I was playing solo. "Was it a bar or a bat I saw?" "Was it a bat I saw?" "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" "Was it a rat I saw?" "Was it Eliot’s toilet I saw?" "Tuna roll or a nut?"

• Some say that the knights attacked first. Some say that the gremlins did. I'm a knight. "Revered now, I live on. O did I do no evil, I wonder, ever?"
...ok these are getting bad. I'll stop.

Senior Engineer....hmmmm....

Are you old?
Like really really old?
Like people dont believe you when you say, "I do computer coding as a career"?

-Should we expect Cosmetics for weapons and shields similar to how costumes cover up armors?

-Should we expect our costumes being enabled in PVP?

-Should we expect dual wielding swords and guns in the future, maybe even double shields?

-Should we expect on improvements on other items like Icebreaker set, Flamebreaker set, Swiftstrike Buckler, etc. What i mean is are they gonig to have 4 to 5 star versions?

thanks for this opportunity, keep up the goodjob. cheers.

Have you ever built a Dispenser?

Do you like working with OOO?

How does one edit the game to add new game things? Do you use source code or a level editor?

Was Sk made from Scratch? Or a pre-existing engine?

How hard is it to fix bugs? Where do you go?

Is the source code just one program or seperates?

Also, how do you find bugs in the game?

Describe yourself and each of your co-workers in 1 word.

Will the impostoclaus ever come back? And if he does, Will he hand out recolored boxes to all the little good alts?

1) Did you get the "Guile" part from Street Fighter, or something else?

2) What was the most "fun" thing you've worked on?

3) Do you guys have any idea for more bosses in the future, whether it be near or far?

4) What did you have to do to become an engineer for OOO, or were they just looking and you suited the job?

5) (If this is fine asking) Do you guys have any ideas for new gear?

6) How long does it take to A) code up something, and B), make a piece of armor or whatever?

7) Would you consider yourself more of a PvP person, or Clockwork person? If PvP, Lockdown or Blast Network?

8) Was it a car or a cat I saw? (<--- Palindromic Question)

I'm speaking on behalf of all the bushes of Spiral Knights. Ok, Here goes...

Ahem.
When will you give us bushes some attacks and running animations? Or just turn us into jelly like creatures and function the same way. We need to be able to defend ourselves too y'know.

Have you ever thought of making Spiral Knights more class based, or rather diversifying equipment in order to fit different play styles?

For instance, there could be an armor set designed around shield bearing and health buffs while giving penalties to attack, in order for people to build into more of a Tank character that can absorb most of the damage, similar to the Defender class in Lockdown. Or perhaps a medic type character to fit the vitasuit, who could transfer their health to people from long range while gradually regaining their own, or possibly allowing knights to use the gremlin wand with a light attack that heals a minor amount to a person in range and a charge attack that creates a healing circle. Or even taking the Recon class from lockdown and putting it into PvE with an armor set that boosts the stealth capabilities of it. It seems like there are a lot of untapped play style possibilities in the game, and it'd be pretty interesting to see you guys work on new ideas and new gear in order to fit how people like to play.

Is there any way you could aid the crystal market in order to make it affordable to newer players? I understand why you would choose not to, as it encourages people to spend money on the game, but it seems like doing nothing to help the market at the ridiculous price it's stayed at for this whole year really discourages new players. I try to get people back into it, but they instinctively lose interest when they see the market price is still so absurd. It seems much better for business to make it more affordable, thus giving more people a reason to play, especially newer players who are still trying the game out.

What happens if Curio threw an tantrum at ye because of what ye did was wrong? :o

If you were a muffin, what flavor would you be???

Are bombs and guns going to be come more balanced to swords?

Which boss are you working on?
Are you making the OCH buyable with CE?

Will you make the Skylark available to go into? Maybe behind the area of Haven?
Will Nick Popovich's Imposto Cube Profile picture be available to the public? (Not an exact copy though, being the Lead Designer has it's privileges ;D)
The players who played before the crash when you could get 2 free accesories get them via mail, it's only fair. xD
Thanks, Aboudeh

Not sure if I should be asking you but... are normal damage weapons going to be buffed? For example, my beloved Wild Hunting Blade? ;_;

What's your blood type?

On a scale from 1 to pie, how much do you like pie?
How long have you worked for the Spiral Knights team?
Do you like pie?
If you had the option to /poke, /hug, or /runawayscreaming from Eurydice, what would you do? =]

Thanks and have a great day!

1. Rank system. The current rank hierarchy (GM, Officer, Veterans, etc) is very old (it is here since I started playing). With the GH update and the introduction of Guild Treasury, the access to the Treasury with respect to ranks is causing security concerns. e.g. Veterans, which many guilds I know uses to decorate venerable members, can now both invest and spend the reserve in the Treasury. Problem arises when these venerable members, while have made contribution to the guild in the past or are exceptional fighters, they may not be equally sound when comes to managing the guild's finance. Do you believe this conflict of interest is intentional or overlooked by design?
2. Ethics of developers. Do you believe in ethical practice in software development? If so, do you believe developers should be hold accountable for features that they design and implemented? I have this idea to be able to "tip" the developers who implement outstanding features. The current SK model doesn't allow that. Would you consider this your next "big" project?
3. Nick. Are you the person who will be in charge if Nick is no longer with Three Rings?

EDIT: To Eury. Can you extend the period for questioning a bit longer? 1 week seems a bit short and I have been away for exactly that period of time.

Raid, my friends use to play spiral knights and hated it because of energy prices, then after a while, when I found out about expansions and new features for guild halls, I told my friends and they started playing, so thank thank THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

What's the highest-poly model in SK?
And how do you get the Royal Jelly to animate so smoothly?

1. why is the stun bug so hard to fix?

2. Is there any purpose of a shaking block below the lockdown maps right when you come out of the locker room line? (ill post screenshots or video if needed)

3. what are your favourite games beside of this fabulous game.

4. why isn't spiral knights a multi-threaded aplication?
