Dead Games

You know when people spend 2 years making games and when they release, they don't sell anything, so they stop selling it and throw it all in then bin..

What happens to all those sounds and models and animations they made? Do they just go in the bin?

I guess there's reasons they don't just slap an open license on them and release them for free. Like time, storage, bandwidth, and permission. Maybe they use textures or sounds from a library and can't redistribute?

Well, I was just thinking, what a shame it all gets chucked in the bin, when it'd be nice to be able to use those assets in something like gmod/sbox.

If your game died and you have some cool assets, email me and tell me what you've got and what you want for them.. garrynewman@gmail.com

I've heard that there are few s&box games that have been broken due to api changes that could offer some up

There should be an opensource library full of models, sounds and any assets from games that are free to use for anything. It should be easy to import stuff to it, and export too. I'm not sure if something like that actually exists. There could also be game engines that are free to use as like a template.
