Why You Should Back Up...

  • Sated
  • 12/22/2010 12:51 PM
Even though I have a new computer (which is why I've been playing so much Starcraft II and Football Manager 2011 instead of making this game), I still use my old laptop when I'm working on Riot Grrrl. I do this because I use MS Paint to create the graphics for this game and the new MS Paint has an annoying habit of changing the colour depth of PNGs when you save them, which causes many a problem if you're using RPGMaker 2003.

Unfortunately, my laptop has decided to start the very slow process of dying, which would've meant I'd have lost the whole of this game if I wasn't backing it up properly... but I was backing it up properly, so I'll just continue development on my new computer using Paint.NET or something to get around the problems I have with the new edition of MS Paint.

Anyway, the lesson here is basically this:

Back up your projects! :)

I was about to rant at you about how you should back up every night when you're finished working on it, but this is a "it helps" message, not a "damn I lose" message. Good!
