Computers can be annoying

My boot harddrive just failed, a great pain. No data was lost, I backup regularly and keep most important data on a different drive anyway. Note: I recommend the tool MozBackup, greatly simplifies copying browser details over for FireFox and Thunderbird.

Still, had the expense of a new drive that I could barely afford, and then the time to reinstall Windows, apply updates and re-install everything.

I did though pay the bit extra for a SSD drive, and have tried to configure to maximise drive life. There are a lot of sometimes contradictory suggestions for that, I have done the common ones.

Only just got Flash working again for the game though.

More Status

Just to let people know I am still alive and working on the game.

I have had a bad cold for the last couple of weeks, really annoying and persistent, but I am diabetic and all illnesses just last longer commonly for diabetics.

I am working and supporting the game via the forums, but I admit I have been somewhat low profile recently, answering questions where I can, but not very active in discussions.

I am working on the game but not a huge amount recently, a combination of things. Motivation can be an issue at times, and also I have a couple of other games I have been working on at the Hypnopics Collective and at the TFGame Site. I am trying to not let any particular thing dominate but it takes up my free time (games linked to the right but note registration is required for the forums).

I am seeding the current Slave Maker game release and a beta was posted a while ago for 3.4.03. It is an update only and has bugs

At this stage I am aiming to release an update/new release of SlaveMaker by the end of July (or near to there, health allowing)

Note:
for the other linked games
Tales of the Drunken Cowboy
Overwhored
have both had new versions released in the recent past.
