I apologize for swearing in the title, but that’s the only way I can say this. First of all, I accept full blame for this. While deleting a bunch of old files, I accidentally deleted the game file. And my memory is pretty much full, so the only things that were actually backed up were the jumpscare animations and the soundtrack, which means that everything is pretty much gone.

So, this means that while we’re not necessarily back to square 1, we’re back to square 5 or 6. I’m as upset about this as all of you probably are, because programming 25 separate AIs gets very monotonous, and having to do it all over again is not something to look forward to.

As far as the release date of the game, MAYBE we can get a beta version out by the original planned release date, May 7. The programming will be a little easier because I’ve already done it once, but it’s still going to be hard.

Also, I realize that I’ve been switching between “I” and “we” a lot, the reason for that is I am pretty much the only person who ever does anything with the GameJolt page, and I’m also the person in charge of programming the game. When I use the word “I,” I am referring to me alone, and when I say “we,” I’m referring to the group of people working on this game.
