Gamedev Diary 34 - HDD woes, on/off work
At first, I only posted on F95, but basically my HD had a failure that finally made my lazy ass work and change the ol' spinner for an SSD that I already had laying.
What happened: earlier this week, after I turned the computer on, Windows did a Disk Recovery before booting proper. That it happened was a yellow alert in my head, that it took some 20 minutes to finish was the red alert.
Luckily, regarding Help Me, Brave Sir Knight!, I only lost two files, one was one of the boots of the new plate armor, which was trivial to recover thanks to my external backups of the game, the other was my WIP of the new enemy, an orc gal. It was "near finished", but I wasn't too happy with how it was looking, so I can't say it's a big loss. I did lose several other files around the HD, it went from ~330GB free space to ~450GB, so yeah. Luckily (?), a portion of that was from installed games, so no loss there.
With this, I've decided to take it easy, finish transferring whatever still needs to, and go slow. I'm in no hurry, as this game is a side project with zero cash incentive for me to continue, so it's a perfect definition of passion project.
Anyway, I've mostly been playing games after the HD failure, de-stressing is important. Hopefully I'll get back to drawing more stuff the coming week, both a new version of the orc gal, plus a furry monster girl, still thinking between a tiger girl or gnoll.
