The article of GROW appeared in "Superjuegos Xtreme".
The article of GROW appeared in a Spanish game magazine "Superjuegos
Xtreme".
Well, I couldn't understand it all because of Spanish.
These images include solution for GROW, and I show you image mosaicing
.
ah,is there any solution in this article?
Few times a year it happened that the article of GROW appeared
in some magazines.It is very happy for me, so I decide to leave these
things on my blog.
And now,I have been working on the new one, ＧＲＯＷ ver.1.
Please wait till it would be released.
I try and do things a little differently this time,so it takes
much time;
already 2 months have passed !!
Why I can't work out as caluculated...
This is an image under developement.

how do u complete the choron v0 game tell me plz anyone help me.
I'm spanish, but the magazine use a lot of words that cannot be traduced to english,because they use a coloquial spanish. But the articles say the creator have a lot of imagination,etc etc (but all good)
grow is so cool! i love to play this guy's games.n they involve wiseness and you have to use your mind to find out how to do it. ps... the cheat for the grow game that has the dragons in it are:
House
trees
castle
water
fortress
rock
treasure
stairs
follow this, and you are sure to win!
I'm very happy computer magazines have interest in what you do. Please continue bring us wonderful games as you always do. ^.^ I'm really looking forward for the new grow *.*
About the article: they just read an article about grow games at wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grow_%28game%29) and add a bit more information.
This new game is taking WAY too long. Honestly, how long do you expect us to live without a new game? Can you at least update us with an awe-inspiring screen shot?
Well, GROW v.1 will probably be less complicated than the previous versions, as noted by the 'v.1', as opposed to 'v.3' and 'v.2'. It's perhaps an early development of grow -- making it probably the easiest.
Is ot just me, or does that grow just feature two objects? Or maybe it's just because I can't see it properly...anyway, GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll translate the article for you, it was kind hard to translate and the translation is not perfect, but I think it's good enough.
After a minute of loading time, the screen is filled with an untouched cube surrounded by ten objects (a little man, water, fire, seeds, pottery, etc) and no explanation on what you have to do. The only indication is the word "Grow" sitting in the center of the cube. In any case, it's not hard to discover it's simple working: by placing the different objects in the cube, these begin to interact, causing with each new action that each one of them goes a level up. The objective is to level up each of the objects to its maximum, and find out the right order. Grow Cube plays out, maybe subconsciously, to the maxiumum level of abstraction something that other videogames (Civilization, Age of Empires) have explored to extensively: evolution. That, as the author of Eyemaze intelligently discovered is based on a linear sequence. Linearity, center of many genres and something around which many other genres revolves, such as the puzzle, is an element with which ON manages to create an extravagant and devilishly addictive piece. The saga is followed by Grow 2, Grow 3 and especially Grow RPG, where the role playing components of Grow Cube take form technically and esthetically.
What's turns out to be the most curious aspect, is that the Japanese author is completely separated from the world of videogames. ON is not a programmer, but rather he comes from the world of graphic design, earning a few yens as a web designer: "The funny thing is that I don't play videogames, very little, or nothing. And I don't know any other programmers". There is a lot to think about the fact that, even though he doesn't not belong to the world of videogames, he was capable to exploit so brilliantly one of its central concepts: linearity, which he captures by simplifying it and reducing it o its minimum expression.
Which does not stop Grow Cube from producing a little vertigo, being as how it is a representation of human evolution.

Wow... i just discover your work : really amazing. I spend at least 3 hours on your games.
I think that "Grow cube" is the one i like the most : Beauty of the graphics, interaction of all the element to form a beautiful ending...
I will sure wait for the next opus ^^.
