Daily Devlog #2

Wassup my peoples!

Hope y'all are having a nice day, I know I ain't.
Sadly no update release for today, long story short everything went wrong.

Yesterday, before writing the first daily devlog, I deleted all the unity scenes (which are basically game maps) and left just one, so i could re-make it and then make copies of it and change them.

After like 8 hours of work, i was happy with all the new  changes i made. Wrote the devlog, and i went for sleep. Today, i exported a test build of the new version and holy f****ng s**t. Turns out the scene that i left behind for making the new map was the sandbox scene. I had deleted the normal game scenes and only had a scene that had no scripts or objects to make the game work in it whatsoever. So now i had lost almost all of my project except the map and the cart model and a script here and there. There was no list of items, no win screen, no pause screen.

BUT! I actually had the bone% speedrun scene accidentally saved in another folder and lo and behold, the bone% scene still had everything. I copied everything from the bone% scene into the normal game scene and everything worked (after re-creating the win screen and the items list, which won't be the same ever again lol)

So that was at around 6 PM. After a couple hours of a power nap i returned to find-

I had left unity running for a couple hours, and unity was recording all the gameplay (that's a feature that's on by default for testing and debug reasons) and storing it in the cache.

Sleepy me then decided it would be a nice idea to close it and re-open it. Then i clicked save and exit.

Part 2 of the mayhem:

Since I did click save and exit, it saved everything. All the 4 or so hours of data started getting written to disk and my RAM.
My PC was completely frozen, and I had two options. Wait  for it to finish exporting 30 gigabytes of data (into a very slow hard drive) or stop it and lose the past 5 hours of changes. After waiting for about 5 minutes and things getting worse, I ended it.

So now here we are! With a new semi-blank slate!
I basically didn't lose anything just that I didn't add anything today, So no panic, game's comin along nicely and it will come out in this week!
(also had minor mouse issues but those seem resolved for the time being)

On a brighter note- Today we reached the peak ever amount of views and downloads a day! 105 views and 40 downloads!
Big thank you to streamers Senpai Hinotama and The Incarnate, they been keeping me sane during hours of non-stop coding and let me advertise my game, so if you wanna be a nice guy, go and visit them on twitch, that'd make both me and them really happy. Also a big shoutout to the guys over at the youtube channel The Game Peasants for the first ever video of SHOPPING gameplay, so if you wanna be a nice guy, go and visit them on youtube.

Anyway, that's it  for today. Hope to see you here tommorow, have a good one!
