{{Quote|source=Nikodemus (February 5th 2024)|
I focus primarily on Quality-of-Life changes and bugfixes; my goal is to take all the brilliant design ideas of the others (sometimes including players!) and make them as accessible and smooth as possible. Ocasionally I sneak in some animation and VFX work, because who doesn't want to have a little fun from time to time? But none of the animation bugs are my fault, definitely not... that's uhh, some other guy. /gulp.}}
