for the past 3-4 months i have been working on making my own game in Gamemaker Studio 2. i also wanted to make a simple game with basic movement and such, so instead of copy and pasting the code from my already existing game i decided to copy my first game project and use the copy of it for the second game. my first game had lots of stuff i didn't need in my second game, so i deleted stuff i did not need in the second game(copy of first game) but it also deleted that stuff in the first game, so now 80% of my original game is gone and deleted. i tried going through all my files but i can't find the deleted .gml and .yy files, i only see the files i did not delete, i also lost a lot of my sprites.
i am completely devastated and don't know what to do, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help.
note: i did not have the 'enable backups' on in the preferences.
however, when i open my project it says it "can't load these resources", and it lists the names of all my lost files, does that mean they still exist? if they were completely gone wouldn't it say "can't load deleted files" or "these files don't exist?'
i also have a yoyo runner file with a completely playable version of my game (file looks like a white rectangle with the letter "A" on it). is there any way to export the sprites and code from that file?
EDIT: I GOT MY WORK BACK
turns out a few days ago i tried exporting my game but i gave up because it "didn't work".
apparently it did work when i ex[orted it but i didn't realize but anyway i still have that .yyz file and i opened it with gamemaker and everything is here, everything is back!
if i didn't have that file then i probably would have been completely screw
thanks you to everyone who tried to help.
