Well, long story short,
I got the blue screen of death and I can't even turn on my computer properly... I'm going to try and see if anything's recoverable at a local electronic's shop in my area. I've gotten this in the past on this same computer about two years ago and it didn't have a happy ending then. I don't expect one now.
Worst case scenario, I've lost basically everything on Ionian Corps. The only backup I have of it is so far is back towards the beginning when I was first developing the maps for Stark. So, that's of no use, considering all the progress since then.
The only silver lining in this is that I did email the PSDs, photoshop documents, of the new scenes that were to be featured in the new update to a friend, beforehand, for their opinion on the art. So, those are definitely recoverable. The least I could do is post those up like I would normally for an update release. A week before public release for Gold, 3 days for silver, and then public. I'll also be writing up a narrative of what was to happen in the update along with the original writing that was to go with the CGs. It's the least I could do for you all as a final hurrah for the short and disappointing journey you all joined and supported me on.
Some developer's notes/ Moving forward:
Needless to say, I'm extremely pissed and disappointed. One could say depressed. I don't know if I have bad luck with PCs or something, but the same thing happening to me within a two year gap fucking sucks. I'm not going to ask for any of your guys' pity or sympathy on the matter. You all came to support to me to continue making the project and it's basically a bust at this point. To be quite honest, Ionian Corps. the way that it was, in my opinion, was kind of a mess, which is why I wanted to do the whole revamp. Not to mention my ideas and aspirations for the project might have been out of reach for a beginning developer like me. Maybe this is a sign, I don't fucking know.
Although, I have taken a devastating blow with this, I'll still keep going with lewd art at the least. Which brings me on the my next point. If nothing really is recoverable and I'm left with nothing, then at the least it's a fresh start for me. I do know that I want to continue drawing/painting lewd stuff.
The way things are now, I'll be making my Patreon about my lewd art for the time being over the next few days, if things play out like I think they will.
Just a recap:
- I'm going to several electronic stores to see if anything's recoverable. However, I'm not expecting anything.
- I'll be posting up the new scenes soon that were supposed to be featured like I would normally for a new update.
- If everything is truly gone, I'll be making my Patreon page about my lewd art, until further notice.
To everyone who supported me and the project:
I thank you all greatly and apologize. I didn't know if my art or ideas were worth anything when I first started the project. However, to those of you who decided it was worth your time and money, it was. And that means the world to me. I know it's disappointing that it's possibly, and most likely, all gone so abruptly. I know, I definitely feel it the most. To anyone who has no more reason to support me then please, feel free to cancel your pledges, stop following me on Patreon, and I wish you the best with your future endeavors for lewd content. To those of you who decide to stay, CHEERS! I hope to see you all in the future. I'll be changing the page and getting new shit together for it.
Since, it's the beginning of the month soon, that means it's charging days for Patreon. If anyone gets charged, sees this, and wants a refund over the
next 4-5 days. I'm more than happy to refund you back this month. Just a disclaimer, I've never refunded before, so I'm not familiar with the process.
If anyone knows any creators who's in need of an artist, that'd be interested in me, let me know! Or let them know! At this point, I'm back to being a regular, broke starving artist.
Best to you all,
Jansu
