My harddrive broke, so probably lost a ton of stuff (never had any such problems before, so i didn't frequently back up stuff. most recently from like v0.12. (was literally about to do a full backup the day it broke)
Though a lot of it are images/assets i can just get back from twitter/public builds)

mostly just lost the coding/writing part i was working on for this update(which was mostly story/design stuff which should be quickly repeatable with current knowledge) and some images/icons etc. which i'll probably do a better job on now.

not quite sure what this means yet, but certainly delays next update. 

If i can't restore some stuff, i guess i'll have the opportunity to go a different direction with many things (like never implement some mechanics that i didn't really end up liking (crafting/energy etc.) and generally focus on polish first)

Sorry for being so careless,
I'll definitely do more backups/use version control for everything in the future

You need to use SSD because its safely

not really. Failure rates are about the same in most use cases.

Big oof. On the real though, if you need a drunk-ass enthusiast to do...IDK, anything...just message me. I'm probably not alone in my desire to help you make the best monstergirl porn game you can.

its already the best monstergirl game, others are too focussed on either art or game but this is just the perfect balance i think

SSD's are only safer in laptops because they have no moving materials and no platter so they are less likely to be damaged when moving your computer or from dropping it. however there is a bigger issue with SSD's that if you have a catastrophic failure it is harder to retrieve the material on the drive. lifetime wise they actually function for about the same time.

Off, I Know how much that hurts. I lost 1,5 tb on july last year. Full with Work,Personal and random stuff. Literally 2 HDD died at the same time. (1 Literally stoped working while the other one got full of bad clusters). I can only wish you good luck!

Get a non-public (or public if you don't care about keeping the code private) git repository anywhere that offers a free one. Use source control religiously. Never lose your data again. It's a hard lesson, but it's important to learn the right thing from it, which is not "make sure you keep a backup now and then", but "keep the entire thing offsite as well as onsite, with history so you can revert mistakes". Real source control is worth the learning curve.

What A Person said, I recently lightly dropped my HDD from the height of where it slides into the slot on my rig, like it fell into its shelf from entry-height, and that did enough damage to slowly start corrupting my system's files until windows 10 stopped working. This is also just human error in my case, but it can happen
