My laptop is broke and in a state of disrepair, leaving me with nothing to build this quest on. After losing my computer a few months ago and now losing my laptop, I've lost my motivation for Zelda Classic at the time. I just cannot continue until my life is fixed up.

Because losing a laptop should not be a big problem. It should not be that bad. It's so easy to just buy another one, but I am clearly not managing my life well enough if it actually is that difficult for me.

This goes for my LPs as well, this laptop was everything, without it, there will be no future updates until of course I buy another one, and I just can't afford it.

I was just on the phone with a friend of mine who says I can get my laptop problem repaired. Just like my ex who lost her screen a few weeks back. I broke my screen today. But if its just the screen, I heard you can replace it, I'll see how it affects my budget.

Let's see what happens Cole... Good luck man

Well, after looking into it a bit, I might go as far as to say it is completely gone. Windows don't load well, the computer is slow, and seems to be on death row as far as I know.

As it turns out, my laptop won't even boot up now. Just a black screen when hooked up to an external monitor.

It was running very slowly and I was able to save and back up my most recent update to this quest, which is good, really good, it makes the situation more positive. But this sucks very bad, I don't think I felt this depressed in awhile, I simply haven't done anything all night and I'm not normally like that.

I am hoping tomorrow I can wake up and take this situation more rationally and form a plan to work around this and to figure out how much data I really lost.

But anyways, for those supporting this quest, it's a good sign I was able to back up the files to thumb drive and than to my friend's computers and upload back ups as well.

So in an unfortunate twist of fate, fans may get that beta I cancelled after all. Lol

Wow, that happened to me too, last year. And what was even worse in my case was that I lost my never announced quest that I've been working on. Technology sucks

[TheLegend_njf]

It really does suck, because I really liked my laptop. lol

I was able to back up my quest, but all my saved files for my LPs are gone, which means I'd have to start over those quests from the beginning.

How much did you loose? This really is bad news.

[TheLegend_njf]

I don't know, I know the screen is gone. I gotta get a new screen.

I thought that was the most of my problem until I hooked up an Hdmi cable. Windows would move very slowly. Almost like it would take 5 min per click. (Clearly it took alot of physical damage).

I researched online and the probable cause is that the hard drive is shot.

So even if I did get te computer repaired, chances are I'd have to use a new hard drive.

Mmm, my i'd say check prices (very, VERY well) because sometimes it's better to get a new laptop rather than buying piece by piece, in your case, the monitor and the HD. So yeah... that would be my best shot.

(Or, I can sell ya mine! )

Cheer up buddy, but heck, it really DOES hurt.

[TheLegend_njf]

Well, for the time being, I have been using a friend's laptop. I've even got my account set up on it. But if its possible to fix my laptop, I'd jump at the chance.

[Demonlink]

I wish you good luck my friend. Hope for the best.

Judging by your recent posts and updates, it seems you're still working on this. What's the status with the computer problems? On a side note, I'm really impressed with your cutscene work in the intro video.

EDIT: I didn't see there was a second page. Glad to see you at least have a place to keep working.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I just saw this message.

 

Check out the new demo if you wanna see how this quest is going.
