Sadly two weeks ago the external hard drive I used to carry everything related to Abscess was corrupted. While I did take it in to get repaired, there wasn't much I could do to save it. Inside the hard drive were all the blender files of current and future cutscenes waiting to be implement, used and unused music, concept art, sprite sheets, and sadly the entirety of Abscess' project files. There was so many things I could have done to prevent this, such as saving the files to a cloud or backing up files to another drive but you never really expect such a big hard drive to suddenly fail you in its lifetime.
It hurts... I wanted to do so much with Abscess, I had so many characters, ideas, and worlds planned for it because it gave me something to look forward to. Now that it is all gone, I can't help but feel aimless and helpless on how to continue its story. Even now, the current version of Abscess 0.82 is buggy and riddled with spelling mistakes that I was planning on smoothing out for the 0.85 release but never got the chance to. Ultimately I do not fully understand how I want to continue the story, maybe through another game, through art, or even through animations but understand that FishBone and Gurgle still have a future despite grim situation.
I am so deeply sorry for those looking forward to see more within this game. I just hope you can get some enjoyment within its short demo now. Thank you.

SPOILERS: For people who need some help with the current version's codes and secrets:
-The code to the computer terminal within in Oh La Loo park is located on the plastic pipes residing on the wall above the door, the code was 2510.
-The code to the Hell-Door is the order of each clock's stage and its connected number, therefor the code to the door was 54231.
-Bad Moves do not affect the ending to the game but can cause changes to the world. There are currently up to four bad moves you can preform.
