Nicolas Hognon · Blog Game projects, small tools, and the setups behind them. https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/ 2026-10-31T00:00:00Z Nicolas Hognon Two-way Google Drive sync on Linux with rclone bisync https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/google-drive-sync/ 2026-10-31T00:00:00Z 2026-10-31T00:00:00Z How I keep a local folder and my Google Drive in sync both ways on Linux with rclone bisync and a systemd timer, and what three incidents taught me about it. ColorQuads devlog #7: 0.6.2, the symbols https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/colorquads-devlog-7/ 2026-09-26T00:00:00Z 2026-09-26T00:00:00Z ColorQuads 0.6.2: runes become the innermost layer of a quad, the Joker an undecided colour, and a turn that cancels a match now shows it. ColorQuads devlog #6: 0.6.1, what you told me https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/colorquads-devlog-6/ 2026-09-15T00:00:00Z 2026-09-15T00:00:00Z Four players told me what they could not read in 0.6.0. ColorQuads 0.6.1 answers four of their six points: palette, match timing, cycle hint, stage announce. ColorQuads devlog #5: Endless is in https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/colorquads-devlog-5/ 2026-09-13T00:00:00Z 2026-09-13T00:00:00Z ColorQuads 0.6.0: Endless, one run on a board that grows from 3×3 to 5×5, runes that show up on the way, and a Joker that now decides once. ColorQuads devlog #4: Things I built and then deleted https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/colorquads-devlog-4/ 2026-08-28T00:00:00Z 2026-08-28T00:00:00Z Three features removed from ColorQuads: a match zone highlight, a drop preview nobody could see, and the first audio pass. One mistake in three costumes. ColorQuads devlog #3: The timer became a line https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/colorquads-devlog-3/ 2026-08-23T00:00:00Z 2026-08-23T00:00:00Z Players waited for the ColorQuads sweep timer instead of playing. Why it became a line crossing the board, and the non-square board bug that followed. ColorQuads devlog #2: Making actions readable https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/colorquads-devlog-2/ 2026-06-29T00:00:00Z 2026-06-29T00:00:00Z ColorQuads gave clear feedback on consequences and almost none on actions. A first juice pass on moving, cycling, dropping and rotating. ColorQuads devlog #1: Where it started, and why it changed https://nicolas.hognon.com/blog/colorquads-devlog-1/ 2026-06-20T00:00:00Z 2026-06-20T00:00:00Z How ColorQuads went from a mouse-driven match-3 to dropping quads from an orbit around a rotating grid, and the playtest that killed drag and drop.
