A big 'thank you!' to everyone who participated in the podcast Q&A questions thread. I've just locked the thread to give us time to pore over your twelve pages(!) of questions.
A number of your questions cover technical as well as design issues, so we've shuffled our Q&A panel around to provide better coverage for more technical matters. Instead of our original lineup of Designers Mod Kimau and Mod ThatJim, we've roped Lead Developer Mod Cyphus into taking Mod Kimau's place, and he's looking forward to commenting on the technical aspects of your questions.
Now that all the questions are in, it'll take us a short while to record and edit the podcast. Stay tuned to 8realms.com in the coming weeks and we'll let you know when it's ready. :-)
