It seems it was never destined to come out in the first place, as it was plagued by hold-ups and problems. The reason for the latest problem, believe it or not, is another bloody PC crash - my new PC as well. I hate Windows, and Microsoft, and.....etc.etc. Anyway, before you say it - Yes!, I did back up the source code, but no, I didn't backup the game data. Typical. Being in a systems admin role, you're always telling people "Make backups, whatever you do make backups!", but you never practise it yourself. Oh well. I have therefore decided to abandon the project (it was only ever a test anyway, but somehow developed into a game), and start work on a new game. The new game should be quite good, but I'll not divulge any details until I have a demo up and running. So, there you have it. I will now backup ALL my data (after all, that's what the private ftp directory is for on the Yaroze server!), and hope someone else learns from my misfortunes. You'll here from me soon!!! Cheers!
