Old Projects

Old Projects is a compact archive of experimental games and prototypes preserved as-is so players can explore rough, creative builds rather than polished releases. This collection gathers short, jam-style experiences and abandoned prototypes—mostly made between 2016 and 2018—with a couple of later attempts included, offering a snapshot of early-stage mechanics, odd ideas, and playful experimentation. Fans of indie development and newcomers who want to study game design or sample quick, quirky gameplay will find inspiration here, but note these titles are kept for preservation and are not meant to receive ongoing updates or active support.

Development Team

The creator behind Old Projects uploaded these builds primarily to preserve them after removing them from their main portfolio; many were created between 2016 and 2018 and represent a period of experimentation. The developer has asked users not to request updates, and also offers a simple bit of advice to makers: just make small things, participate in jams, and learn from each project rather than chasing perfection.

Version Information

The collection has been adjusted over time with additional items added to the archive, but most content remains faithful to the original, older builds. Expect a catalogue dominated by 2016–2018 material with a couple of later abandoned projects included as part of the preservation effort.
