Hi all, Today is a very sad for me, this morning I started to backup the project as I wanted to upgrade to a new Unity version. It was going well but about half way thru my pc decided to restart. After the restart I thought I'll just copy it all again, but a main proption of my main files where gone, scripts, prefabs basically everything except the loadout scripts and mode scripts.

I've been using a recovery tool today which recovered the project but not al the files, it was the same files as after the restart. Then I done a recovery on the hdd where the old backup was and it recovered all the scripts but where 2 months old. So I thought well 2 months is better than no scipts at all so i opened up in Unity and 999+ red errors, basically everything is corrupted.

I feel so sick atm and can't actually believe what's happened. I was about 2 weeks away from release. Even writing this it's kicking in whats happened.

So I'm sorry to say i'm giving up on this project, 1 years wwork just gone. I do have a version which has 3 wave maps, and weapon range. I will upload this version to a new steam branch which you can play, but I'm unable to update or add anything to it. I want to at least show you what i've been working on and know i'm not messing you about. This was my baby, I was spending every hour working on it. I hope you enjoy the version I will upload. I will take some time away from this and hopefull come back to it after christmas.
