Be careful of strange dudes who want to stick knives in your colon, that's my advice. 
try running this on the hdd/ssd that had your files on it and see if it can recover them, ive used it befoer to recover files i had on a corrupted hdd, didnt recover all of them, but most of themHey guys, BHG here. I just wanted to make a small status update. You may see me online from time to time on Discord, I appreciate everyone's messages and well wishes. I've tried to reply to them all, so if I missed you, then I apologize for that.
So onto the news, as already announced here, my wife nuked pretty much everything. I'm not sure what I said to make her think I wanted everything deleted, but I must've given her the word. The bad news is that all my dufs and assets are gone. Now, I could redownload the assets but the issue is all the dufs that are gone. My characters and my environments are deleted.
I'm not even sure I could recreate all my characters. I can't remember all the different models and sliders that went into creating characters like Glasha, Kimmy, Maz, and Liliah. They took quite a few tweaks to get right, and I'm not even sure where to begin starting over.
I have to have my next (and hopefully last) surgery next week. After that is over, I'll begin looking at what I'm going to do next. Whether that means restarting DN somehow or starting over with something else. I'll make some kind of announcement when I know for sure.
If I do decide to restart development of DN, I'll keep this thread updated from time to time as my development log. If I decide to start something new, I'll let you all know and I'll answer any spoilery story questions that I left lingering.
Anyway, that's all for now. I hope everyone is taking care out there. Don't neglect your health, it may bite you in the ass ;P
You can try a file recovery software had a hdd error last year and my dufs were destroyed but with this old tool i could recover around 190 of 200gb lost files and as long as the files were only deleted not overwritten the recovery chance is around 95%Hey guys, BHG here.

Hell yeah, my dude. We're all getting there in the end, no need to rush it. Whether you manage to recover the files or not is secondary. Best of luck on your upcoming surgery, hit us with an update if you're feeling generous; glad you're okay.Hey guys, BHG here. I just wanted to make a small status update.

Hey BHG, glad to see you are doing better. Your health is the most important thing.Hey guys, BHG here. I just wanted to make a small status update.

Without her I'd be dead for sure. She and I will just call it even.well, time for a new wife
I ran one overnight and I was actually able to get back quite a few dufs! I hadn't used file recovery stuff in forever, I'm surprised at how well it actually worked. I managed to get back like 97% of the characters including Kimmy and Glasha! The ones I couldn't get back were human, and I'm confident I can remake those quite closely.You can try a file recovery software had a hdd error last year and my dufs were destroyed but with this old tool i could recover around 190 of 200gb lost files and as long as the files were only deleted not overwritten the recovery chance is around 95%
I used Getdata recover my files pro which is around 20 years old an still works on win 10 but the scan process can take a while (especially on over 1TB drive sizes cause it has to scan every sector for lost files. only deleted files is mostly faster)
Maybe not so dead nowGlad BHG is ok, but heartbroken to hear this game is dead.
Not yet. Gonna make a new one some time after surgery.Btw, is your Discord back up? Can't find it......
I'M BUSTING!!!!!!Without her I'd be dead for sure. She and I will just call it even.

Most of the environments are still gone, but I can use new ones since MC was about to move anyway. Also, the renpy files aren't there but thankfully my co-writer still has the files.
I think this bodes well for the future of the game!

Sounds like you got a good 'Un glad you're both still around for each other. My wife was diagnosed with cancer last year (free and clear now after intense chemo) and I'd never wish losing a spouse on anyone, just the realization of how close it was for us is sometimes overwhelming.Without her I'd be dead for sure.
