Classic version control:

xexyl,

@grumpygamer this is how id software developed DOOM.

I don’t remember which one of them but they did a very interesting talk about the development process. It’s on YouTube somewhere. Possibly https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eBU34NZhW7I but I can’t verify that right now. Watched it years ago.

@xexyl I'm sure they did. There were no VCS options back then.

@grumpygamer are these still readable? Tried reading some old disks from the early 90‘s last year and some weren’t that good anymore.

@grumpygamer such a SCUMMy way to version control.

@grumpygamer where's Monkey Island Final_Final_V7 though?

Still a thousand times better than GIT and all the ambiguous errors modern source control platforms seem to get themselves into. What's that, a detached head? Bring me some sellotape.

@grumpygamer I realize looking at these that I really miss 3.5" floppies. Generally, those media with carriages... also zip or mini discs. I don't have the same emotional attachment to other media.

Weird.

But also, nice collection!

@grumpygamer I always wrote on the labels upside down, compared with these pictures and so did ally friends. I wonder if this is a case like the toilet paper roll placing, or if it was just me and my friends getting this wrong in high school.

@grumpygamer sharing is caring :blobfoxmeltreach:

@bartholin I don't have the rights to share these. If I did I put put them on Github.

@grumpygamer What was it written in?

grumpygamer,
@grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@paulmelis Game code was SCUMM, engine was C.

@grumpygamer But how many of them are still readable without damaged sectors?

@vger I've kept them in a dry, sealed place, right next to my magnet collection.
