Yesterday i tried to let my pc get repaired this lose "screw". i found it was the wrong word, what i was meaning is the "input" or "output" (not sure which si right here, the one ON the pc) you put the antenna on, so sorry for the confusion. Anyways, i brought my PC to a IT repair store but there they told me its not repairable, at least not if i would know someone who would alsobe good in IT stuff -and- is also able to soldering THAN maybe it could be repaired. He also told me he couldnt put a wlan card into my pc since i dont have enough slots for it so that was also no opinion.

But he also told me that it wouldnt be worth repairing but more using a wlan usb stick or "dongle", which i got myself (a pretty good one) and it works out for me. The damaged output isnt repaired BUT the IT guy told me it woundnt effect the PC in the long run - I asked my friend and he told me the same.

So basicly, my wlan input doesnt work anymore but i got a dongle for it which means i can go online again with my PC woo~

After that, i told my friend to help me installing all the stuff "as it were" viva teamviewer and boom:

BASICLY everything (programwise) is back to normal.

Sure, i will need DAYS (coz of the freaking slow internet) to install my steam games again but so far, the PC runs smooth again. No aftermath of the virus so far - so i guess its for sure gone for good.

Still...

I sure lost some datas and i cant get some of those back, ever.

- Steam gamesaves MIGHT be lost some (at least THOSE which doesnt use cloudsave), have to check after the "days of reinstalling them".

- Programm SETTINGS are lost BUT i think i can work them out again. Mostly GIMP might be a problem to place and put stuff again the way im used to but eh, it should work out fine.

- Some internet bookmarks but i dont even remember the most of them so they were maybe not so important...*shrug* eh...

- Maybe some music but already back on track~

- My base art pictures but here i downloaded the uploaded versions from Newgrounds (the UNcensored ones~) and DA so here i can say at least i got the pictures back but couldnt update them in the future - well i was not up to anyways but still its a lose. Sad but not to hard, "GLADLY" not so hard.

But here is pretty much and is still for me the biggest lose, which are all my created own gamefiles. THOSE are gone forever. Im not able to update some games anymore Like Starvixen or Stiff Digging 2.

As for Stiff digging 2 im sure glitchydust has still all datas saved and i still need to ask him - as for Starvixen, i have to say here again, i dont update it anymore so Version 1.1.0 Is the final version. As i already posted on Gamejolt, i COULD update it with the old file i have but than it would be totally different from the 1.1.0 version we already have, meaning all the pictures, damage output, enemys, sounds and stuff WOULD be totally different. With that in mind, i better called 1.1.0 the final version and MIGHT build a sequal or "similar game" some day but for now, Starvixen version 1.1.0 is the final version coz of the base gamedata & extra datas lose i have.

And here comes now the biggest lose for me:

Ladys and gentlemen... You might know the stuff im working on, my artwork "universe" i call "Anum Chaos" (basicly all my anthro characters "world") has its 15th anniversary this year. Yes.

As for that let me give a little bit of a history lession here (lols). Normaly, Anum Chaos was another idea back than for me for a new game. They are even still some old trailers that i really worked on it just for some shits n giggles.

I sure had a WHOLE story in mind and characters and like (those were to see in the old artwork) but i never had the feeling for it to actually "create a full game" for it. creating a good game is a lot of work not really a lot people know or understand. Back than, i finished a game, a bigger one, right before i pretty much wanted to begin with the new project anum chaos. As for that, i can show you the old title of the game i made before, which was "The king of the rings". I worked on THIS one already, pretty much alone, 2 years.

The game was ok as it is but thats another story - i wanted to jump now on the game for "Anum Chaos" with full force. I created the characters, the story, some other stuff. Hell it was a lot work already back than.

But in the time i worked on the game, i kinda was stuck in the art. I loved the art and improving it. So basicly, i stoped working on the game just to keep on working on the art.

With that in mind, after 15 years, i basicly thought "ok its about time i create at least SOMETHING for my Universe"...

And so i worked on a smaller game the last weeks (well...BEFORE i got this virus...) on a game i called "Dungeon of FEAR".

And well....all i worked on is now lost. ONLY thing which is left is kinda a VERY early versions "demo" or "proof of concept", which you actually can get and try out for yourself down below. Its not much coz it was a VERY EARLY VERSION and was just made coz a friend of mine actually wanted to check it out. So basicly i can say thanks to my friend that he bugged me that much that i can show you guys this small thing. Here said, its a "game file" so i CAN NOT USE IT TO CREATE A GAME WITH OR "KEEP WORKING ON IT". As for that i would need the basefile which is lost forever.

So here you can "check out" the proof of concept yourself:

As for the white screen for the text, its in german (so maybe someone who speaks german can help me trans. it better)

basicly, it works as manual which says what you have to press:

Control with the arrow keys

S to start

R to reset the level (redo the maze generator a new)

1-8 so give a look at the powerups (JUST IN THE HUD, they were not working back than (one reason why the pickaxe isnt working...))

So with all that said, i think if i keep my pc on for some days, leting it download some last programms and the steam games, im pretty much "back to normal".

Still, im sorry that the game i was working on is lost. I wish it wouldnt and it would worked out better but yea...sometimes, something will change your plans i guess....
