You: So, when’s Phenomenon 32 going to be released? Tomorrow? Next week? Next year? Never? Jonas: Well, I was hoping tomorrow. Sky Cat: Don’t be too sure about that. Jonas: Why? It’s done, and I’ve decided that this crashing thing can’t be fixed. It doesn’t happen all the time, anyway. …
Avatar is now officially the most successful movie of all time. Now I just need to finish Phenomenon 32 so that I can write that long article that explains why this is a good thing, and why all the people who scream “racist!” the moment they see the film are …
Once again, I spent many hours today trying to figure out and destroy bugs. For a time I was certain I’d managed to get them all, then I despaired when everything started going to hell, then I apparently managed to get to the point where there is only one random …

Phenomenon 32 is, in a sense, all about Carl Sagan – so here is Carl Sagan’s Apple Pie Recipe. Verena sent me the link, and it brought a smile to my face. (No, it’s not just a recipe.)
Testing, testing, testing. One out of two problems seems to be OK now, though all these errors are so unpredictable that I still feel quite paranoid. The crashing error, oddly enough, seems to occur only when I’m running the game from inside Construct. When I just run the .exe, it …
So, thanks to a tip from our good and wonderful friend Ivo, I have come up with at least a partial answer to what’s going on. One of the two problems appears to actually be due to my computer. The one other is still batshit crazy and random, but at …
