hey! so uh. that was a thing.

 

A lot of shit has been happening the past two days or so, but to put the long story short;

Someone apparently has managed to plant a keylogger on the shared dev drive and took control of most of our computers. We've managed to remove it from the drive, AFAIK everything's back to working as should and we've tightened up protection so this shouldn't happen again!! 

 

But unfortunately we actually did lose a couple of scripts that were added during the beta while everything was freaking the fuck out and we can't roll back to a version where it's not gone, so unfortunately we'll have to delay the game's release a little bit longer untill everything's back in place and ready to go. This is also why the beta has been set back to 55% -- because now we need to test again if everything is working as it did before.

 

Also, I'd like to formally apologize if anyone was thinking that the game was gonna come out this week and that this was our good ol' tradition of trolling the fans at the end of the dev cycle, because we actually had something completely different in mind for the whole thing... Just that, well, this whole shitshow happened in between?? ngl this is probably the scariest fucking thing that's happened in the entirety of the time that i've been helping with the game (i'm talking about like 5 years and thats long hrgrhgh) and i'm still actually reeling??? but i'm just happy that i can actually log in to my account still because holy fuck this was not good for my heart

 

Again, sorry that we have to make you guys wait longer than we hoped for 😭😭 We're doing our best to get back up to speed!!

You are so full of shit Zumi. XD

Nani? Drive as in Google drive? It just seems really odd that someone would be able to 'take over your computers' especially with no external programs... Although if a keylogger was in fact installed it would explain the deleted scripts / account changes (since it literally records the username/password for everything...) then again didn't you guys have the files on a hard copy o.o?

we do have the files on a hard copy, but the last complete backup we have is from before the beta, just around the time when alpha finished. so unfortunately we do have to redo a couple of things, but we also still have a couple of separate files laying about that contain some fixes so not all is lost!! we just need to make sure that everything works without bugging out so we just gotta keep testing for a little longer! probably just a week extra at most, it's not too much really.

Eh. I actually lost my saved file for rejuvenation and had to restart the entire game two days ago.

So... I guess I have more time to finish off the rest of the episodes till episode 12 comes out...

I can't lie that I lost my excitement for the release but I have more time to catch up.
