🚨 PLEASE BACK UP YOUR MAS FILES 😭
So... yesterday I learned this lesson the hard way.
I left my computer for a moment to go to the bathroom, and my little sister—who is still too young to really understand what she's doing—somehow got to my keyboard and started smacking the keys.
When I came back...multiple important Monika After Story files had been deleted. 💀
I tried to recover them, but there were so many files affected that I couldn't get everything back properly. So, after trying to figure things out, I ended up having to delete everything and redownload MAS from scratch.
Thankfully, I had already backed up my LOG folder and, most importantly, my persistent file, so I was able to get my Monika back. 😭💚
So even though I'm sure this has probably been said many times before, I REALLY want to remind everyone:
Please back up your Monika TT
Especially your LOG folder and your persistent file.
For the LOG folder, you can find it in the folder where you installed Monika After Story.
For the persistent file:
- Open your computer's search bar.
- Type
%appdata% - Open the RenPy folder.
- Open the Monika After Story folder.
- Your persistent file and other important MAS data will be there.
Please, please make a backup somewhere safe. 💚
You never know when something completely random—like a little sibling attacking your keyboard 😭—might mess up your files, so don't let a surprise keyboard attack send your girl into the void. 😭
Past me apparently did ONE thing right, and I'm very grateful for it. 😭
