Beep. Bop. Updates. Racer. Critterding. PARPG. OGA.

Sorry.Attempts to rescue old forum files will go on until November 9, 2009, I will update you on that date or earlier. For now, there's a replacement of the FGD planet (let us know if blogs are missing)racerI made two videos [one, two] of the alpha-stage-but-stable sci-fi racing game racer.I also made a video (sorry for frame rate and encoding error) of the 3d-life-form simulator critterding. Not a game, but potentially entertaining ;)Portrait for...

Forum un-down #5

Short version: feel free & safe to use the Forum again. The old posts might or might not be added to the posts we post from now on later.Longer version: there is still hope that the files (and posts) will be restored but of course no guarantee. Having a job doesn't help the server administration spend money on trying to restore the files.However, I was assured, that the posts we write from now on will be preserved, even if the old posts get restored. I told otherwise in a previous post's comment before.I'm sure you are curious about whether...

Forum down #2

Permission to panic given.We didn't lose the databse, but it might be that we lost the files. Unfortunately the messages of the forum are saved as files. Check this out (but don't post) to see how a 'full' forum without messages looks like.So this is the 'message-only backup' I was talking about in previous post.We still might be lucky and the filesystem can be recovered. It's 400GB big and it takes a week to download that, so expect having to wait...Waiting is the magical word here.:(I'm very unhappy about the forum and how not having it around...

Forum down

Due to a filesystem error (apparently) the FreeGameDev forum is down. The post data (MySQL table) is safe and will be likely restored in a day or two. It's not clear yet if file attachments can be restored. We will keep you updated.You can use this phpBB forum as a short-term temporary soluti...
