Computer in Critical Condition
🕑 Added 2019-12-01 15:00:50 +0000 UTCMy computer is in pretty bad shape right now so it's probably for the best to leave it alone as to not risk any further issues that may impact other parts of the machine and ultimately the progress on the game so far.
I've been using the same rig for a long time now and it's age has definitely started to show, which to be honest, has probably been one of the biggest limitations for me right now. My PC simply can't keep up with how much work is involved in designing a game like this. Not only do animations & programming take a long time to make, but I've had to sit through countless hours of waiting, rebooting, and using software that my computer simply can't run all that well.
There's times where I've sat 30 minutes + trying to get this shit to respond while working on animations or editing a clip and its honestly kind of a miracle it's lasted this long.
Alongside the degradation of it's parts, during my time using this computer all the internal fans have stopped working so I've had to resort to using actual fans outside the computer and open windows to keep my work space cooled as much as possible. This winter has been especially ruthless but the colder it is the easier it has been to keep everything running.
I've been aware of my computer's limitations and problems for awhile but I've tried my best to work with what I have in order to continue saving money for the game/ living and work expenses.
This is a pretty serious situation but things aren't completely lost, I just can't use my current computer anymore or I could risk making things a lot worse. It's salvageable but I really need to be careful.
If this happened maybe like a month or 2 ago I think the situation would have been a little harder to recover from but luckily with help from you guys so far and Cyber Monday/ Black Friday deals I can probably afford to replace my computer... It's beyond something I want to try and repair at this point so I think building a new rig is the safest option, at least that way I just need to transfer what I need over to the new build, hopefully that works smoothly and everything will be okay but buying the type of computer I need to work on the game will be expensive.
I'll keep you updated through phone, but for now I no longer have any way to actively work on the game until this problem is fixed.
TLDR- Computer is broken. Too poor to get a new one but Cyber Monday/ Black Friday sales + You guys = possibility. On phone for now and can't work on the game.
