EDIT: Turns out the data is safe, but Don’t Mine at Night release date will probably be delayed - Source

~~The computer from our favourite animator just went down. He may have lost all his data, including his upcoming Don’t Mine at Night, featuring Button~~

Turned on my computer today to stare at a blank white loading screen. (Yes I have a Mac, you can laugh now.)
Called assistance, told me it’s a callback by Apple since they noticed some of the iMacs sold between October 2009 and July 2011 could have a defective HDD and so they have to be brought in assistance for free substitution.
Point is I don’t know if the HDD has been blocked for this reason or if it’s just a coincidence and it decided to fail today.
I will try to connect my Mac to another computer as an external hard disk with a firewire 600 cable and see if I can access my data and make a backup. If not, I have to hope they can do that in Assistance but it could not be possible.
If so, well, I probably lost all my data. That means every in-progress project plus work and personal data are gone. What a beautiful moment for something like this to happen, right? Not only I had a deadline for Don’t Mine at Night, but I was close to finish one of my best works yet.
Farewell, until new updates on the matter.
PS: If my data will be retrievable, I’ll probably leave Apple and go back to windows by making myself an alienware or some other powerful shit like that just because I feel like to.
If you want to donate something to guarantee better assistance and data retrieving/new computer, you can throw some money at my paypal account jan_ocp@libero.it, but I suggest you to wait for more updates on this matter first.
