So, I was finally able to change the permissions setting for rm2k and 2k3. What did this do? It ERASED everything I have done on the game since transferring it to this computer 3 months ago or so. All that work gone, finished, dunzo. I am so stressed right now... I'd say that's a good 45% of the demo lost, completely. I'm also worried about the state of Eden Legacy 1.3, although it's just minor bugs that plague it at the moment.

Windows 7 security is ridiculously awful. It saved a version of this game that shouldn't even have existed anymore, and then saved it OVER the full, good copy of the game that I've worked so hard on. Could I have prevented this from happening by backing it up? That was exactly the problem, this happened as a result of my trying to back it up and it not letting me because of the permissions controls.



What happens now?
This is too good a project to discard completely, but I can't bear to remake everything that I've done over the last little while. I'm going to take some time off before getting back to this, even though my notes for it are nowhere to be found either. When I go back to it, I'll make it better. I don't know how, but I will. It's just a shame, I was very proud of everything that I'd done for it... all gone.

Anyways, The re-haul will not use the CBS, and it will have all characters fighting battles instead of just the 2. Of course I'll add some special bells and whistles to the battles to make them unique, which was what I tried to do before with the CBS anyhow. I will also change my chipsets that I'm working with, as they just never meshed as well as I'd hoped. I did the best I could with them, even had a few decent ones that were erased, but nothing amazing. I'll want to change that for the future version.

Finally, the game will be longer than the planned 8 eps (which were only around 20 mins each). It will be a full game.



Anyways... I'm very sorry to the subscribers. It will be a lot longer before this sees the light of day. It will come back, however, someday... but for now I'm going back to the EL series. It's still salvageable.
