Game
Gigaform 2 [Cancelled]
9 years ago

So, yeah. It's really gone.


About two months ago I added a news update titled ‘It Dies!’ in which I announced that Gigaform 2 was temporarily cancelled due to me being a victim of “Great Laptop Death.” I really don’t have good luck with those things.

First, the good news. I gave away the junk laptop that kept me afloat for the month of September and got myself a nice desktop (Pentium G3240, Nvidia GT 740, 8GB DDR3 1600…twice as powerful as both laptops I owned previously). Now I can get back into developing games, and programs, as I’ve really been in to Visual Studio lately.

The bad news. I tried a little experiment. I took the hard drive out of my dead Asus laptop (the one that had all my Gigaform 2 data on it) and connected it to my desktop (using the extra SATA/power cables), thinking: “well, just because the operating system failed to upgrade doens’t mean all the files were erased.” After tinkering with the BIOS and a couple of other convoluted settings, I managed to find that my laptop’s HDD was indeed recognized by my PC. I could even click on it to open, but, to my surprise, there was not a single file or folder within. I couldn’t even create new folders or drag files to it. In a fit of frustration, I gave up.

I accepted that Gigaform 2 was never going to be recovered, and if I really wanted to finish it, I would have to start over from scratch. I did exactly that about 3 or 4 times with the first Gigaform game, so as you might be able to imagine, just the words “start over” made me cringe. Until I can be bothered to do everything all over again, Gigaform 2 is dead.

The only remnant of this once-ambitious platformer of mine is the test build uploaded only here at GameJolt.

That is all.

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)

OK, this starts to be too tricky puzzle already :D
