In programming communities, we saw a lot of things happen to projects, going from being cancelled for various reasons, as well as suffering data losses or both before completion. However, I was wondering if any else of you have ever seen projects actually get finished, but still never see the day (or only do so temporarily)? Such as:

-Projects that gets finished entirely, but are lost in data losses and then never recreated
-Projects that gets finished, but never actually get released to the public for whatever reasons
-Finished projects that gets released to the public, but eventually becomes unavailable anywhere

In my case, I can only think of the following:

-Donjon: Finished in November 2001, but lost in massive data loss a few months later before it ever made it to public.

-Illusiat 4: Finished in January 2002, but knew the same fate as Donjon, along with Illusiat 1, 2, 3 and 2002. Illusiat 1, 2, 3 and 2002, however, do not count, because the first 3 were later re-created from scratch and 2002 never got to reach completion.

-Illusiat 11: Kin Master Quest: Finished in 2006, released one year afterward on Omni and Ticalc.org, but after Omni demise in 2008, followed by my ticalc profile takedown request afterward, my backup of Illusiat 11: Kin Master Quest appeared to be missing. All my other files were fine, though.

-Massacre (pseudo-3D BASIC FPS): Finished in mid-2002, lost in 2004 computer hard drive format and 2002 calc game floppy disk found to be damaged.

-Ultra Snake: Finished in mid-2002, lost a few days after in data loss similar to the Illusiat 1-2-3-4-2002/Donjon one. Afterward, I said Goodbye to MirageOS until Gemini came out...

-And of course anything that was only released on Casio-Scene and Earthforge-based Casio sites (maybe someone can specify any game there if they know any?)

-Drug Wars: Although that one do not really count, but still comes closes to the Illusiat 11 KMQ fate was Drug Wars in 2001. After the TI CD recall, that game was removed from Ticalc.org archives then it became next to impossible to find. To my knowledge, only one single site, GoldFiles, still hosts it anymore, and they got two versionsEDIT: It appears Goldfiles no longer exist . Omni was gonna host it in 2010 before the closing of the RPG section to new uploads, but for some reasons it was either not included in the final upload batch or the staff took it down afterward.

What about you? Did that also ever happen to any of your notable projects?

Hm dj isnt your ticalc profile going to come back in april 2013?if so wont it have the ones lost yhat were on ticalc? posted from an android device

All those games are on Omnimaga, except Illusiat 11 KMQ. Illusiat 11 KMQ was on the old Omni website, though: http://z9.invisionfree.com/omnimaga/index.php?showtopic=1639

Also my profile coming back is of course unless a certain group of people from various places don't go on a new anti-Omni rampage (or Omni-controlling) again like what happened in 2006-07 and 2010-11 , but even then I might still at least put the big games back in

I wish that ticalc showed both the original posting date and the last updated date for each file, because currently it's misleading. When an old time community member comes back from a 15 years-long hiatus only to update his old readme for new contact info, you no longer know how old the file actually is, unless he wrote the original date in the readme or try the game (assuming the year is included in it).

May I just add The Game? We all lose it, right? •troll off•

I recently lost many prototypes, like cellular automata, roger tests, or 3-player game, for science, you monsters! (Don't fiddle the prizm "Please SD card insert" screen, the nor flash won't like you)

Yup! Full reset...

School escape is still at planète Casio, because 2011 contest

School Escape seems quite nasty lol. On the other hand, at least it doesn't clear the calc RAM if you lose.
