I may have found the source of the bug, though I’m not entirely certain. It has something to do with the temporary files that the game uses to track where you’ve been and what you’ve picked up. I have to get some sleep now, but I might be able to figure this out tomorrow morning. [...]

Damn Cats
I’ve managed to find another bug. Trying to figure it out right now. Still very badly hoping to release the game tonight. This one seems more like a previously unnoticed mistake on my part, though I’m really confused by it.

Partial Victory for Sky Cat
I have gotten approximately 6.5 hours of sleep in the last three days. Oddly enough, this is not due to working on the game; but it doesn’t make it easier. So you’ll hopefully excuse me for going to sleep now, and uploading the game tomorrow. Uploading means waiting – and, given that the game is [...]

The Truth About Release Dates
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. And when it does happen, [...]

Avatar wins
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 pretty much racists themselves.

Systems check…
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 crash – the same one [...]

Bug!
Every time I think I’m done, another bug pops up. Or two. The current ones look like they might be fixable. The only one where I’ve given up is the occasional tinny sound – I was certain it was my sound card, but right now I just have no idea. It seemed to be fine [...]

Press Continue
Yesterday was a bit of a disaster. First I was totally overwhelmed by tiredness in the afternoon, and then Verena started feeling really sick. Taking care of my wife kind of took priority over game design at that point. She’s fine now, though, if a little exhausted.

Sorry
Problems again. Nothing to do with the game, though. Real life is getting in the way. No time to write more right now. This is more important.

Unpredictable Events May Occur At Times That Cannot Be Specified
I may release the game tomorrow. I’m phrasing it this way because I don’t want to provoke the Cat that runs the universe. It’s already had too much fun with me. Right now, though, I need to relax. I have spent the last week or so working more than 10 hours a day, fixing bugs [...]
