Still no luck finding out what finally happened to Bounce and for that matter also to Virtually Board Snowboarding II, which were - together with Kart Racing - the three launch titles developed "in-house" by #Nokia (by #Kuju actually) as evidenced by the attached magazine scan.

For VBSB2, I know at least from a former Nokia employee that the developers constantly missed milestones, but that does not really explain much. It was certainly not cancelled before July 2003, as the Nokia Academy CD from that month still lists it as a launch game.

Two more planned #Nokia N-Gage launch titles that had prototypes done but never made it past that:

Bounce and Kart Racer (or Kart Racing, depending on the source)

Anyone out there with contacts to former staff members of #Kuju Entertainment? If so, please get in touch with me. I'm especially interested in getting in contact with Adrian B. (no, not Adrian Black 😂 )

Please boost. Thanks. 🙂

"That a single verb might take 505.440 different forms became, for Volapük's detractors, proof of its lunacy."

Bliss' idea that the number symbols are from the abbreviation of their Sanskit names seems to be wrong

but it seems to be our number symbols came originally from India...

I'm still trying to find out more about their shape...

I"m now considering of introducing a new Toki Pona word for expressing the concept "shape, form"

the Estonian word kuju might just do the job ...

Toki Pona epansa

Chains of circular definitions were detected using a computer program. Most were resolved by rewording one of the definitions in the chain, but three were resolved by adding tentative semantic primes (colour, number and shape).
