Report article Athena Source Code Lost

An explanation why we haven't had any updates in a while.

Posted by TannerBondy on Jul 22nd, 2009 digg this super bookmark


My PC experienced a hard drive crash that rendered all data corrupted. So I tried some data recovery programs to recover all the data back, but all of those programs failed. So I tried to look for professional help and found a service that appears to be the best for recovering data. Unfortunately they cost roughly around $500-$1000 depending on the priority of the data and seeing as I am trying to spend my money wisely due to the economical problems here in California, I won't be able to do anything about it until I reserve the money for it.

And now we're trying to find one of the latest builds of Athena so that we can fix it up for a release. We will most likely find the last test's build from one of the team members' hard drive. Unfortunately Athena doesn't have linux server support and we can't do anything about it until we recover the source code. Though we'll get some of the content going while we're getting the build back, so expect some updates.

Thanks for supporting Athena

Man that sucks guys, you should have an external hard drive to keep your files on like I do. It would help alot =/. Best of luck getting back up on your feet guys.

Why didn't you upload it to a server? or use SVN for your source code?

Basically my low budget and my horrible paranoia over the safety of the source code.

Hard to get a job with paranoia of your source code being stolen.
