I just finished my blogposts about my Favourite Bugs Top 7, and number 2 is actually a bug I encountered while developing Proun! And reading about other peoples bugs and problems is always fun, so here's the complete bug top 7 (especially the top 3 is a lot of fun, I think):

My favourite bugs top 7, part 2 (3 to 1)

(No images from Proun in the post, so here is an image from another bug in the list:)

I just wrote a blogpost comparing statistics from our various games, including from Proun. Quite fun to see how my one-man-hobby-project compares to the much bigger games we made at Ronimo! :)

I find this kind of info into indie game production very interesting, thanks for the posts.

New blogpost with stats comparing our games, this time comparing code stats. Interestingly, Proun turns out to be 50% larger than De Blob (which I expected would have been the larger project in terms of code). Awesomenauts is 15 times larger than Proun, but that is much less unexpected... ;)

New blogpost on Proun! I have made a little tool to analyse colour schemes, and explain how colour gamuts work in the post. I have also analysed colour schemes in a bunch of other games.

Very interesting! Colors are still a bit enigmatic to me but I need to do the same kind of research for my game.

Are they still showing that? Nice! It's been half a year since I last saw it, really awesome. Also seen it on another station, I think Den Bosch. :D
