I lost the source code of the game! D: - what happened next will surprise you!

I’m still not sure how this happened, but the fact is that I really lost the source code for thi game, even though it was recently revamped it to showcase in the portfolio. I thought that the source code was in Unity‘s cloud code-thing. But no ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I downloaded the project and I found some Unity stuff + empty /Assets folder.

I panicked (a bit).

I checked in all the repositories I have (github, bitbucket, gitlab), but I couldn’t find it!. Maybe the code was only locally… but I didn’t have the same computers I had when working on it:

  • My previous Mac died dramatically (weird screen flickering). So I formatted it a few times to try to fix —> nothing to be found there.
  • My previous linux desktop pc was gone, I sold/gave it away.
  • Nothing to be found in my current computers (Mac for working, or Windows for gaming).

My last hope was to check in some old hard drives I have. And yes! It was in the hard drive from my previous windows computer \o/. It seems to be a version before the revamp, so I’ll need to deal with an annoying Unity migration again… but it’s something :D.
