Yesterday was a great and unexpected day in the history of Lost Alpha. We won the MOTY 2012 Players Choice in "Best Upcoming" category. To express our gratitude, We would like to grab the opportunity to congratulate to all mod developers and fans on ModDB. Everyone is a winner!
We - the developers - do face many problems, having to fight with our families, to find a little free-time for our game; with our friends, to make them understand why we can't join them in the pub on Friday night; with our own eyes when we realize we haven't slept much, and we have to work in the morning; with our brains, because in most cases the most buggiest parts are always those, which we think they aren't.
In the end, we need to fight with the game, the engine, and thousands of scripts to make it work somehow. However, it wouldn't be much fun without you! If you wouldn't be here with us, if you wouldn't tell your opinion... of course, we have to admit, we couldn't make it to the top 5 ever without your votes! So be proud of yourself too, because we won this prize altogether.
Let's change topic. We had a contest here a few days ago, called "Where is it?". In short, we posted a screen, then players had to find out where it was captured, posting a similar screenshot. The winner of each round, in return, could tell us where to capture the next screen. In the end, we held 4 rounds, and promised to let the 4 winners do collaborate with us by choosing any part of the game (except for the beginning and ending) from which we would record a short video. The winners selected Pripyat Undergrounds, so we tried to make a short showcase of the map, without spoiling the whole area. It's really huge and easy to get lost, you will like it! The video was planned to be 30 seconds only, but it turned out a bit longer, hopefully won't be a problem :)
Don't forget, this is not the regular "happy new year" video, we will do that in January, 2013. Stay tuned!
Finally, we would like to wish you happy holidays, and a fruitful & successful new year with all your dreams coming true! See you in the Zone, Stalker!

it was phunky, after trying many methods, but couldnt browse my old hdd, I decided to reinstall win7 on it without formatting the whole disk. guess what? even if I didnt set it to format the disk, it did it. So I had to use some data recovery tool yet again, this time I decided to use getdataback, which actually helped a lot. All my music project files among with the sound samples and plugins were restored, but still I lost ca. 140gb of garbage, which I fear to think of what it was (mainly music, some series, and lots of garbage which I usually download, but never check). Anyway, I got scared, so I'm gonna buy an external hdd just for making backups :)
TBH I can not believe you never backed stuff up.
You should have everything important on 3 different drives to be safe.
I learned the hard way as well. ;)
Yeah, I back up using two drives and cloud storage. But good to see you got lucky.
I know what you feel man, losing my music projects is one of my worst fears. That's why I got a flash drive for that stuff.
Better late then never :)
Serious, try http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html.
But if it is about anything other than saving your S.T.A.L.K.E.R. save games or something, go to another website.
Sorry, i was to blind to see who posted it |-). I hope nothing of value is lost. But Knoppix still is a good way to go.
Linux.
LOL. How will he develop and test a Windows game using SDK which only works on Windows?
I meant use Linux to rescue the data, i use it a lot. Mostly Knoppix.
