Unbelievable.

So, I was in the midst of working on the game and suddenly, my computer crashed. No big deal, I had saved recently. So after the restart I start up Adrift again and... my game is suddenly password protected. The game I had never password protected. I tried my regular passwords, thinking maybe I had set it and forgotten but, nope. No luck. And when I try to open the game with the runner, it says "this is not an ADRIFT game" so my guess is it's corrupted & totally shot.

I'm totally stumped at what to do, I can't think of any way to break the password protection or bypass it in some way. It's not like the game was 95% finished and I lost EVERYTHING but still! A few weeks worth of progress is gone. Not really sure on how I'll continue forward, having to redo all of the basics, character and room descriptions, etc really saps the motivation.

Progress Update

I've started working more on The Gym game, after reading the feedback that seemed to be what most people were interested in so I'll invest my time into that.  I'm going to try to post weekly progress blogs to keep people updated and to hold myself more accountable for actually working on the thing!

So what I've got so far:
  • Map layout completed and all rooms sketched in
  • All characters created and described
  • Basic plot sketched out
Doesn't seem like much, and it isn't but It's a start.
