SurfsUp & SurvivalScape on Steam

After a rough couple months SurfsUp is back to being positively reviewed on Steam! Thanks to the incredible community that has continued to play our game and I'm excited for what's to come.

The most motivating wallpaper in my rotating slideshow, it always inspires me every time I see it

Did a technical assessment for a job interview today that took 3 hours to complete 😩. Burnt out, but my application is ready to be viewed on Monday.

Ouch, the 🔻 downvotes were much higher than I was expecting.

Surprised to see so many people mention the 'lack of content' for a prototype I threw together in just a couple of days. But at least that means they want more

Thank you, I appreciate the support. I was able to recover most of the projects but two freeze Unity during launch 🤷

Projects lost:
mFPS - Multiplayer Shooter
uAutoBattler - Multiplayer Autobattler
Galaxy Shooter - Space ship flight combat

I'm now decompiling my own released binaries to recover lost projects.

I uploaded all my projects to #Unity Devops in January before reformatting from #linuxmint to #cachyos

I thought it'd be safer to keep it in "the cloud" then locally. No idea how their storage is calculated or how it kept changing without me touching it

Tomorrow I have a @unity.com based interview and I'm updating all my projects to prepare. This year, I moved them all from local Git to Unity DevOps.

None of my projects are in my organization.
I find this unread e-mail.
All my work is gone.

It's SO IMPORTANT to get your ideas written down in a content plan or Game Design Document. It helps you understand timelines, dial in scope, and plan ahead. Here's the outline for my first game. Even a "simple/basic game" idea can have major scope creep, some of this never made the final build 🔪
