17 JUNE 2020:
Supposedly the "average" lifespan of a laptop is about 3 years and I unfortunately got to experience that firsthand when my Windows laptop died while on a business trip. RIP Asus gaming laptop!
Thank God I was wise enough to back up all of my important files about a week or two prior, so this should have minimal impact on the development of Scrapship.
In the meantime, I still have a Mac Mini 2018 -- but it doesn't have the development tools I use. So while I wait for my new ***desktop*** to arrive in about a month I've been honing my Blender skills and other things pertaining to game development.
So have no fear fellow gamedevs and players, Scrapship is still in production, it's just temporarily delayed.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out my Instagram (@40wattstudio) to see what other projects I'm working on.
