August 2024:
Two years since I touched this part here, huh.
This isn't an announcement, but rather something I should have said a while back, but I kept my mouth shut for a reason I'll mention later.
I said this specifically on my private Twitter account, but I think maybe it's time I say it in public too...
It's related mostly to stuff I have cancelled lately that I mentioned few times on Twitter last year and this year, and only said that it's because I lost motivation, but in reality, there was other reason why this was happening.
And reason is because... my external hard drive where I backed up all of my MUGEN content, drawings and such... broke. A chip in it died, caused it to convert from New Volume to RAW Local Disk, making it unable to even open it without freezing the system later loading with an error.
I have tried to fix the hard drive and get all of stuff there back, but it was unsuccessful, and person that was fixing it couldn't get it back to normal without having to format the drive, which would call all of files kept in it to be erased.
Programs for getting files out of broken hard drive didn't work either, as it was all meet with failed attempts to access the files in a hard drive, meaning that everything in it is now stuck, unable to be taken out to somewhere else.
Due to that, a lot of characters, stages and other things I was making up until late January of 2023... is now lost. And it really devastated me, demoting me from working on anything for few days.
Despite that, I pretty much went out to start over with my MUGEN things, getting stuff back I was able to get back either from friends or from files I thankfully saved in my MEGA files.
Reason I didn't said anything about this for a while is because... I honestly felt embarrassed to even go out and tell about it in front of people, especially because I knew some people were going to use that against me to publicly shame me, insult me and such, especially because I didn't thought of actually backing things up, as I never thought about it, nor that it's a possibility it.
I ended up learning a lesson from this to ALWAYS back things up on my devices, especially those that are important to me.
With that, this pretty much that everything I have been showing (some planning to also be released) like Rivals of Aether Donald and Colonel, update on Hallo'weerio!, update on Zander's M.U.G.E.N Mario and Luigi, Santa Cluigi and etc, all of that, is now lost, including private characters I was showing to public like Big Bang Solo, S-Giygas, my own self insert, remake out of BestGamerReview and etc.
All of that is now sadly gone due to my own mistake of not backing things up... however, some of them I'm currently or planning to restart making, some of which have been announced already on Twitter, like a remake out of my Big Bang Solo, restart on Donald Period -Sadist- that I have been trying to keep quiet about until I would have done enough of progress on, and some other things I'm not telling to public yet.
I have to apologize to all of you reading this for keeping quiet about this, especially those that have been looking up to those characters and were hopeful that they're going to be released. I should have went out to tell it publicly about this when it happened, but I instead kept quiet about it for selfish reasons of feeling embarrassed on possibilities from public itself.
Thanks for reading, and have a great day.
