I haven't made anything new for a while

Posted by Skeik - October 27th, 2010


Over the past year I've made a really stupid mistake twice. I kept the most recent copies of my FLA's on a flash drive. Two times I've had a flash drive fail and that set me back quite a bit. All my files were pretty much on those flash drives. Luckily I upload swfs of files, but decompilers didn't like my code so they would give me FLA's with errors. I pretty much had to word backwards reconstructing my games by using really old FLA's, decompiled art and fragmented code that I could recover from my flash drives using some junky software.

I undertook 2 big projects near the beginning of the year, and one is probably never going to be finished (Bow Game) but the other should be done before the end of the year. Another smaller game that I've been working on with ColdReaver should be out before the end of the year too. One fun sized game that I had finished and found a sponsor for called reverse tetris is almost unsalvageable. It would take me a long time to fix it because how of I made it, not to mention I would never be able to fix the bugs that were in the game itself. I wish decompilers would work 100% correctly all of the time but I guess it's my fault in the first place for not adequately backing things up.

So if anyone was wondering I'm still working on things.

good luck bro. maybe you should save your .fla's in multiple places? i save my .fla's on a flash drive and my computer.

Yeah lol I'm keeping about 3 copies of my Flash files on 3 different drives at the moment.

"and one is probably never going to be finished (Bow Game)"
... sorry :(

But it's great that you have two things in the works that should be finished by the end of the year. I'm not sure if I can say the same right now.

Don't feel bad about anything, and get to working on something.

Work on our game fool.

K .

Bow game is awesome.
