Sooo... my computer broke.
🕑 Added 2018-10-16 10:01:00 +0000 UTC As you can see from the picture above, my MacBook Pro’s logic board and graphic card are pretty overcooked. The boy’s 7 years old, and I’ve been definitely milking its chips for all they were worth. It’s now time to get a new computer.THE BAD
- Well, obviously, much of the money I had saved to commission some art for Fabula Ultima will go towards purchasing the new PC. This will be a Desktop PC, no longer a laptop.
- The pacing of content updates here on patreon will slow down a bit as I gather the components and assemble the computer. This will take a while, and I will probably go back to being fully operative only in November (since the Lucca Comics & Games convention will take a large portion of my time and efforts).
THE GOOD (believe it or not, there's quite a bit of these!)
- While it is currently 100% non-operative (I am writing this from my mother's laptop), my computer was kind enough to stay awake for the time needed to do a full backup of my latest work and font library. This means no data was lost. This is quite the relief.
- I was already planning on getting a desktop PC in the future, so I guess all that's changed is that "the future is now" :P
- The plan is for my new PC to allow for streaming and the likes, which was currently unfeasible on my MacBook. This means I'll be able to broaden the variety of contents offered by this Patreon.
- Last but not least, while I won't have access to InDesign for a while, I was still able to retrieve everything and will figure out a way to share content with you during these weeks. It won't look pretty (probably gonna use Google Drive), but at least you'll be able to get it.
I think it will mostly be creatures and stuff like that. I really want you guys to be able to play this as soon as possible!
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

I feel for you! As IT guy, I know how sad is to say goodbye to a good PC friend 😁.

Also heck yeah for the planeshifting spirit dragon of doom.

Glad to hear that this wasn't a complete disaster for you, Emanuele. There's a German saying for that: "Glück im Unglück" ("Fortune within Misfortune"). I've really been enjoying the frequent Fabula Ultima updates, but I definitely agree you should take your time and sort all the technology stuff out first. Also looking forward to some streams - design streams maybe? Love to learn how other designers go about their work.
