I have a second paid cloud backup solution (which updates every time I save a file, so I can even roll back if I forget to commit for a while). I still use source control, but with a more reputable company. Of course, I still had the most recently working version on my local machine, even so. Sadly, a project I was working on was on the service at the time, and that was my only backup. The story was the hackers made some crazy demands, the company refused, and the hackers deleted *everything* including backups and all.

Maybe some people didn't hear the story, they basically that got hacked, completely owned, and the service was shut down.
UNITY LOCAL SMARTSVN REPOSITORY CODE
I had a project that was hosted on Code Spaces, and it was a paid service. You know, I do agree with the argument that you can't always trust the cloud. Sucks that it did happen, been there back in the 80's a few times before I ever heard of source control. Hopefully the OP has learned his lesson and can think about using version control so it doesn't happen again like that. Unless they just didn't know what source control is.

So I don't have much sympathy when I hear stories like the OP's (not being mean, just being honest). This is not 1983 where we had to back up to another cassette tape and worry about it getting corrupt after awhile and losing work. So I don't agree with the comment above this. GIT - maybe.Įven if I was the only person working on a game, it's still an insanely valuable tool to have.
UNITY LOCAL SMARTSVN REPOSITORY INSTALL
I spent 3 hours with Apple support and eventually had to format the drive and do a clean install of the OS. Then this morning, I deleted some cache file on my macbook and when rebooting. Did a new app preview video and all of the annoying little bits of polish that is time consuming and no fun. stayed up until around 3am on Saturday, for example. I had a long list of little things to fix and decided to do it all last weekend. I'm getting ready to release my second game, Demon's Rise, which is a turn-based strategic RPG.
