An apology letter from our artist Socrates
Hello Lascavia Studio Fans.
Something devastating happened during this weekend. Me, Socrates, accidentally broke my ipad. It suffer liquid damage and fall damage at the same time. I couldn't turn it back on again. When I bring it to my local Apple Store, I was told all of my data is gone due to water damage. I guess this is a canon event for a lot of artist.
That means everything that i forgot to backup, is gone. That's almost 5 years worth of art. including future game update arts that I haven't export yet, previous art i made that I haven't shared with you all yet, concepts art and background arts. Everything, gone just like that. I am not a pessimistic person but this strike me hard asf and I am very devastated.
For the game's future, Dex already have the update material for next update (V13). For Patreon, I have also planned the post for February already so csm arts are also safe. However, everything other than that is mostly gone. Please understand if the upcoming updates take a lot of time to produce. (Emma Frost cgs, Moana and Chel cgs also went to the abyss with this accident.) I'll need time to remake a lot of material, what might be a good news to you all is I plan to remake Gwen's sprites and KDH sprites. I'll have to discuss with Dex what I'm gonna draw next.
Luckily I have apple care, but repairing still cost A LOT. I am glad that my apple pencil survive. But I spend almost all the money I owned on this accident. I might have to start accepting commission request again.
I am still in my depression stage. But right now, I am in dire need of your support. You can comment under this post, you can subscribe to our Patreon, or just simply download the game and look at the art. I'll be very thankful for all of you. And if you are disappointed, I get that, and I am really really sorry!!!! I think this is a lesson that teach me always backup my arts.
Sincerely
Socrates

Mistakes happen. You move on, you live, you learn. You do your best and that's all you can do. Not sure I agree with asking your artist to prostrate like this, but I hope for the best. If Socrates needs help, find me online and I'll try to share his links, etc.
See if you can take it to a data repair shop; they might be able to extract at least some of the images
Totally understand, that sucks.
Daaamn that sucks. Really sorry to hear about the loss of all those plans. 🫂
