Yesterday, i finished working on my game for the day, saved a snapshot of it and closed the tab. Today, i came back to the project being missing, for some reason. Thank god i always make backups of my stuff, but this just straight up absurd because i did not even do anything weird to my game. I hope bugs like these get fixed as soon as possible. ---

This could actually be a bug/feature of your browser! Many browsers will automatically clear the cache, which is where local MakeCode games are stored. There is unfortunately no way to fix it (It’s not in MakeCode’s control) so the best defense is to store backup files– I’m glad you had a backup! ---

I use makecode in Edge though, so i don’t think that would be the case. Oh well.
