About the author
I'm Juuso. I bake games. Indie style.
I started coding games when I was a small kid with access to Commodore 64.
I started this blog in the end of 2005, the same time when I started my own game dev studio (where I work part night time). Since launch, this blog has seen over one million visits from people all over the world. More about me can be found here

Great picture, made me lol anyway. Those 21 points were neat btw (of course I know them all already ;-p). Game launched last night to GameClub members and is doing very well. I’ll post properly about it tomorrow when non-members can download the demo.
I think that Frog is just awesome :)
Congraz on the launch and stealing my blog post ;)
I have that same motif on the wall by my desk at work, although is not the same illustration. Working as a game designer, and now a game producer, it has kind of been my main work motto. When the going get’s tough, as it often does, I just look at that image and is inspired by it. I found it a fun coincidence that you posted that same image on your game producer blog. Perhaps it should be standardized as an inspiration to game producers?

What did I steal? Or do you mean hijack? Sorry anyway for whatever it was.
I was just kidding. ;)
Yes, meant hijack.
