    It's being saved for when it's needed. Like superman. You don't call superman for just anything.

    Patience; Such a treasured gif should be used only at exactly the correct time.

    It's like a secret weapon, its power can be used once, and only once. I believe we will know when the time is right and no other hope is left.

    A weapon is right!

    I always thought being an artist is an amazing thing. You can do amazing things that influence minds and perception of others in ways that is hard to compare. whoever animated that gif can permanently etch in our mind an association(good or bad) to Nicholas that can hardly compare to any think that he could return.... What could he possibly do in retaliation? code in easter egg conversations between citizens in CE who talk about how David is a wimp in the Pit? Funny to be sure, but just not the same effect. That .gif gets released and it becomes the main item on my desktop... despite the strange glances and questions it will earn me from people who see it.

    Well, Nicholas could write code that changes the file name from NicholasRipsOutHair to DavidRipsOutHair

    Really enjoying the progress seen here. The ghost walls are great, and random sleeping in factories is hilarious.

    I have a *genuine* question, one that's been on my mind a short while. It's going to sound a little harsh and/or cynical, but please bear with it.

    What I'd like to know is whether Clockwork Empires will be fun? As in are you guys going for something with jokes, references, animations, etc. that make you laugh alongside the gameplay, or is it going to be more like, say, Anno and Civilization (neither of which can be described as "fun") where it's engaging and drives you to create bigger and better things?

    Or is it a bit of both?

    We're trying to play it a bit more serious than Dredmor, but we're not getting away from the funny bits entirely. The humor is definitely darker though: we want you to feel bad about laughing at the horrible things that are happening to your people.

    This kind of game just doesn't work if you don't have emotional investment in characters, and if the tone is too light that's really hard to do.

    I see, I see. So it will be, essentially, a fun game. Assuming you're some kind of sick, twisted, demonic fiend (i.e. human)?

    Thanks for that reply. I know it was an odd - perhaps almost insulting - question.
