Blog Reset Due to Hard Drive Failure

As I'm working hard on the next Blêktre expansion, I had a sad surprise yesterday morning.

Scaleway — Blêktre’s server host — had a hard drive failure, and I had to move the game to a new machine. This wasn’t too worrying since I have daily backups (a similar incident happened three months ago), and this time, nothing was lost except a day of work—and a bit of faith.

I’ve switched to an OVH server since hardware failures seem frequent with Scaleway. We’ll see if this other low-cost provider does better. At least now Blêktre have more RAM and bandwidth! 

Unfortunately, I wasn’t as careful with the blog, so I’ve lost all my posts, which is a real bummer.

From now on, I’ll simply write my devlog on Blogger. It's not flashy or indie, but it’s safer—and I just don’t have the mental space to worry about those details anymore.

So, here we go again.

I can’t wait to share more about the upcoming Blêktre expansion. I probably should have released Blêktre 2081 in early access, but what’s done is done. That said, the game still has to evolve into its final form, and I’m not stopping now.

I hope to see you there. I could really use a bit of energy, so don’t hesitate to try the demo, wishlist the game, and share any thoughts, ideas, or frustrations you have. It really helps!

Love,
Charles
