[DSG] Depths is gone.

Gone, gone, gone, gone.

The flash drive backup happened to have disappeared a few days before my laptop just. fucking. died. Tried to fix it. It's fried and has something to do with severe physical damage. The memory is gone. So… that's that.

Guess I HAVE TO START ALL OVER.

But that's ok. With everything I've learned and planned out for once, I'll be able to approach it in a completely new way. Besides, Now I can program it from the ground up and I was thinking of basically making al the graphics 2x bigger. Why not? The 3D will be at its best, and the levels all will flow together. I finally have everything planned out and I have a solid story. It turns out, most of the old file would have to be thrown out anyway, so no huge loss.

Sucks tho, huh.

I miss it :'(

Sad day.

Maybe it's just a cover up. It's all just a conspiracy. He never really worked on depths. Everything has been fake. DEPTHS IS A LIE!

Should've given us that .gmk demo.

Sucks though, hopefully you can power through.

Good luck. Also, Dropbox and other online backup, use it.

Are they? Because I sense some potential issues with shared folders that way.

That's nice, but still presents the issue of what happens when multiple people reconnect while all having edited one file. Though I guess the same is to be said about people who save simultaneously, too. So I guess the lesson here is….

Be fucking careful.

next time use dropbox as an online backup. i use a briefcase to update my files from my computer to the dropbox folder, and it automatically updates to the site when i update the briefcase. and now im noticing others with this suggestion

Also, you realize that this game could make some serious buck? Its better than most inde games online and on xbl arcade. Has that much potential. I mean, if i were you, i would get on it and make a name for myself.

Dropbox isn't stupid…

When multiple people edit the same file, it generates a .conflict file instead. I've seen teams of 10 people working on programming projects using Dropbox as their version control system, so it must work (Why didn't they use something like Git or SVN? 'They didn't want to learn something new', sigh)

Surely you could at least decompile the last executable you distributed. It would still be a massive setback, but better than nothing.
