Gigaform 2 [Cancelled]
10 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.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
