The spooky season is upon us. Part III

Hey guys it's Kdot here again I would like to bring some news about Ben X through the use of black magic and other questionable means I have managed to recover the lost data for Ben X Slave Quest.

  4. Just a question: Will be Albedo in game? If the answer is Yes, will be as Villain or Girl (via Magic ecc) or as skin for our Ben?

  6. To prevent such catastrophes in the future, you should consider using a cloud-based version control system. Github and Bitbucket are popular Git-based solutions with free accounts (Bitbucket will let you create private code repositories, I'm not sure if Github will). There are many good GUI clients for Git that make it easy to work with for beginners (I recommend SourceTree; GitHub Desktop is also good if you decide to use Github).

    Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/
    GitHub: https://github.com/
    SourceTree: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/
    GitHub Desktop: https://desktop.github.com/

  7. Glad to hear you lucked out, few things suck worse then having drives die. From one dev to another weekly backups are your friend, since you're using renpy which seems to lack built-in source control options I'd suggest buying a thumbdrive for code backups and using a free google drive account for art storage. Google won't give you quite as much space for free as Mega but to my knowledge it has no bandwidth limitations unlike Mega.
