As evidenced by the lack of posts, things have happened. Awhile back my roommate said she was going to buy a house, which meant breaking our lease and it was all going to happen in the middle of the semester. That meant we had to get everything revved up to move, clean and repair the house we rented, do the move itself, unpack, all with minimal help because my parents are elderly and I hate tasking friends with such tasks. The move took place last friday. Since I'm in my last year of school I decided to just take over a room at my parents house instead of adding to everything with having to search for a new place to live. Well, a myriad of problems has cropped up since then. The internet is a bit sketchy at best, cutting out depending what I'm doing and probably the biggest thing to happen, my hard drive crashed sometime between Tuesday when I went to bed and Wednesday when I woke up. More specifically, the hard drive for the computer I do my dev work on. I have the PC up and running again with a new hard drive, but I haven't been able to recover whats on the crashed one. Typically, I have a pretty good backup system with my file server, but in preparing to move I had left it at my parents house the last time I had visited, which was almost a month earlier. The good news? I didn't really lose much because I didn't have the time to get anything done in that month anyway because of everything else. I still haven't got everything unpacked, and only briefly had my server up when restoring my tower since I don't really have a good place for it at the moment. I'm going to have to find my copy of visual studio again too.
Sooo, Hurray! Shit happens all at once. Back to the grindstone I go.
Just want to let you know that a friend of mine and I have been searching for a DFC remake for quite some time. We are totally in support of you in any way, and are willing to participate/help/test/help fund, whatever you need to get this thing up and running.

Very much looking forward to this... DFC is still one of the best games I ever played. Hopefully life has recovered a bit since you posted this. I am sure there are plenty of people willing and able to help :) maybe get a website up and running to try and get some hype building or funds donated to compensate your time and money! 5$ isn't much these days and can add up!
ReplyDeletekeep the effort moving brother, there are a few in my circle who want to see you succeed. if there is any way we can assist, please dont hesitate to ask. not that i feel i can do much to help.
ReplyDeleteAnother MUD project dead in the water?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should just try re-creating the first Darkness Falls. It would be a much smaller project.
ReplyDeleteCheck the D.F.C. facebook page. There are a lot of players there that can probably assist you in many ways.
