Catastrophic Damage
Added 2024-03-14 18:13:46 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
It is with a heavy heart that I've had to suspend Patreon. The reason for this is my PC containing literally everything died last night whilst rendering the last of the Patreon content for the month.
All attempts at restoring the hard drives have all but failed. The only files safe from the corruption is Damian, Tim and Icarus. Everyone else, all the models, the animations, WIP, has all been lost.
I've reached out to those who I commissioned models too or have made me models in the past to see and pray they have the files still on their computers so they can transfer them over again.
Patreon is now suspended until 14/4, no new Patreons will be able to join and no charges will be applied. If you have recently joined in the past 14 days, then obviously there is no future content dropping as I've lost everything, however your tier support will unlock and back date all the way to back to 2019, so you just got 5 years worth of content for a tiny fee so please don't harass for refunds or start hating as I've had that before Patreon is suspended so nothing is going to happen.
I'll obviously keep everyone updated on what happens. I've ordered a new Hard Drive for the PC, but I need time to get my head around everything and ultimately make a choice whether to rebuild or not.
I can't apologise enough for this and I'm angry at myself for always getting distracted when it comes to back ups. Ones I have are years old and the models have been replaced/updated - more than once on a few occasions.
Will keep you updated x
Much love
DJ

oh 100% the new Hard Drive arrived from Amazon today, so it's intergrated, and the recovery program is scanning the old drive and will try and recover what it can to the new one, once that's done I've got a crazy big USB stick that I can save the models too and have that as safe storage :) which is what I shoulda done in the first place, but well we live and learn really

2024-03-15 15:24:41 +0000 UTCSo mini update, I've managed to recover some files but there is a lot of data corruption. I've got the files for most of the boys working, the textures however.. same for sets and things too. New hard drive arrives today from Amazon so I'm going to run the recovery program on the entire drive and see what it chucks out and then rebuild from there ๐๐ thanks everyone for the love and support on here discord and twitter, genuinely been moved and blown away by it all x
