people who lost their games

hey guys, i myself have lost my game because of unity bugs and my question is just too know how many others of you also had this happen so go ahead and post away maybe we can make this a long line

If you don't do backups, you're basically asking to lose work eventually. Whether it's Unity, faulty hardware, cosmic rays, or whatever, things do go wrong. There's no excuse for only having one copy of a project. (Personally I've never had Unity cause me to lose any work, and I've been using it 3 years now.)

I agree. just make new versions of your project everytime you add a new element. for example, start out with gameprojectv1.00. Add a player in it, and get it moving. close out unity, rename the project v1.01. Zip it up and store it. Open unity back up and continue adding elements. do this periodically.

A friend of mine's project got corrupted due to Unity instability. That was 4 years ago though. He sent his project in with a bug report, and they were able to repair it for him, as well as fix the underlying bug.

Is that the kind of horror story you were hoping for? :-)

p.s. Seriously though; I'm sorry you lost some work. Unity has treated me well but no matter what environment I'm working in I'm pretty paranoid about making backup copies of the project on a regular basis. If it isn't corruption, it's me making a change that doesn't work, and then not remembering how I broke it.
