Dev's hdd was 'broken', so he started to rebuild project
It's not sidescroller anymore. It's completely fucking different game. Looks more like section 7 than PE now. Such disappointment.
Having just found the game I have to say I like what I see. Keep up the good work dev. Also we have a ton of side scrollers so this is refreshing.

and my dog ate my homework
But for some reason its something that happens a lot with patreon founded devs. TBH iff i make money with it.. i have a backup-system of any kind.

Where's this from? I am very confused now. He started yet another different project other than Section 7 and PE? That would be hilarious, to say the least, and another reason why I will never support game developers on Patreon. This is not how things work, simply put. You cannot keep milking your supporters and change gears every few months and never finish anything, which is what almost all devs do in there lmao
The majority of supporters gave him the alright to do it. The side scroller slapped in all, but there are plenty of us that wanted his first games style. So with the loss of data we were asked in the discord for opinions and it looks like this is the route being taken.
Personally, I don't mind the change as each time he shifts or a few months pass they get better and better and the games improve quality wise insanely fast. We're pretty much back to his first game with much better models and and a dev with much more experience from what they learned over the last 6 months.
While I'd suggest that everyone decide what is and isn't worth supporting on their own, this is EXACTLY how supporting developers work. It's support, not a buy in to get something in return. You make the decision to support them with no binding contract that obliges the developers to produce results.
If you feel their results aren't up to your standards you simply unsub, but this is how optional support systems work. You aren't paying them to create whatever they're working on, you are supporting them while they work on whatever they're making and whether or not they finish it is up to chance.
This dev has a 15 dollar lifetime goal so if you paid max support for 2 months you would get access to anything they produce at the finish line. Less than a pizza in cost. I could think of worse gambles to take.

So he's going all in with the 3rd person now eh, kinda sucks that the side scrolling one ends but hopefully sooner he'll come back to it if the new one'll be great.

Reminds me of Enlit3D which I loved dearly. There's like 5 uncompleted "games" out there
What the actual fuck. I was starting to root for them damn. Enough negative thoughts just best of luck to them god knows they are gonna need it. Still though what the f man I was starting to lean into the side scrolling bit
I had one hard drive, a couple flash drive backups, and a cloud drive of a lot of my stuff from college. If something is really important, and if possible, you will make a way to have a backup maybe plenty of whatever it is.and my dog ate my homework
But for some reason its something that happens a lot with patreon founded devs. TBH iff i make money with it.. i have a backup-system of any kind.
What happened with the project is a little more complex than a disaster recovery from the HDD failure or a change of direction:
There was an hard failure with the HDD that stored the majority of the game files, a big part of the project was lost and he had to rebuild a considerable portion of that. Now what's interesting is that the assets and animation, being fully 3D, could be brought easily to the fully 3D realm: he's effectively considering "merging" his 2 projects, this one and Section 7, into one the next build will be this hybrid thing, but the situation is evolving pretty much daily.
Than again, what happened was a lack of proper versioning on the dev's side, he owned that and he paused billing cycle until he had a new playable demo on hands...then the whole Discord channel told him to resume it and that those who'd want to wait for the next version could simply unsub until then...
If you wanna know, he's now saving everything to cloud storage to avoid any future issues in that regard.

Unfortunate it had to come this before they started using a reliable backup system. Here's hoping they could merge the assets from both games properly otherwise all that time spent working on this game would've gone to waste.
Oh, trust me, he knows that, he was in an enraged work frenzy for a week after that and rebuilt all the characters, redesigning from the ground up the concept while fixing his shit hardware side and setting up his own versioning system...then I think he slept a few hours...a day later we started see all the new concepts live on 3D...I'm no developer, but I honestly thought that was pretty impressive...
