I worked on a few games and tools about 10 years ago then lost interest/motivation. They just sat on my computer and as this was 10 years ago, cloud version control wasn't popular and I had none.

I found a copy of my source code on an old disk and backed it up quite recently but most of my assets are missing, only an old version from one project.

I tried searching online and found some dead links - I used to post demos quite frequently on GameDev.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone have any of my stuff lurking around? I think I've always been d000hg here and the two major projects I did were "Archipelago" and "Island Racers".

So annoying :(

Did you put any of them on GameDev.net? Contest or GD Showcase?

Archipelago was a 4E5 entry and I think that's where I rescued it from though it was a much older build.

Back in 2005 I don't think GD gave free storage - nobody did really which is another reason it isn't on my own site - so I don't think it would've been on Showcase. I used DevImg.net a fair bit which is live but seemingly quite broken, cannot navigate it to search for my stuff.
