Project Afterlife

We're a small team of 4 developers working on something we believe matters: preserving online games that have been shut down.

What is Project Afterlife?

When an online game's servers go dark, everything disappears — the worlds, the communities, the stories. Project Afterlife aims to change that in two ways:

1. Private server restoration — We reverse-engineer and rebuild game servers so people can play these titles again.
2. Interactive documentaries — For each restored game, we create a chapter-based documentary on our website featuring the game's history, its rise and fall, gameplay breakdowns, and community stories — all narrated by human voice actors in audiobook format.

Our first two games:

Both will get fully restored private servers and their own interactive documentaries — narrated chapters covering their creation, golden era, decline, shutdown, and resurrection.

Funding model

This is a 100% donation-funded initiative. No ads, no paywalls, no premium tiers. Patreon for recurring support, Ko-fi for one-time contributions. Full transparency on fund allocation.

Current status

We're in active development. The web platform is being built on our own self-hosted infrastructure. We're working on the server restoration and documentary content for both FusionFall and Drift City simultaneously.

If you played either of these games — or if you've ever lost an online game you loved — we'd appreciate your feedback and support.

More updates coming soon.

We've all been there. A game you sunk hundreds of hours into announces it's closing. The servers go offline. And just like that, an entire world vanishes.

Project Afterlife is a preservation initiative by a team of 4 developers. Our mission:

• Restore discontinued online games by rebuilding their servers — free to play.
• Document their history through interactive web documentaries — narrated by real people, with images, video, and audio you can listen to like a podcast.

First two games:

We're restoring both. Playable servers + full interactive documentaries telling their stories from birth to death to resurrection.

Key details:

• Completely free. Funded by voluntary donations only.
• Multilingual (English + Spanish).
• We cover all genres — if it was online and it's gone, it's a candidate.
• Each game gets a full documentary experience, not just a wiki page.

If you ever wished you could log into FusionFall one more time, or drift through those neon streets again — stay tuned.

FusionFall was special. A real MMO set in the Cartoon Network universe, with actual depth, real quests, and a community that genuinely cared. When it shut down in 2013, a lot of us lost something meaningful.

We're a team of 4 developers building Project Afterlife — a game preservation initiative. FusionFall is one of our first two titles (alongside Drift City).

What we're doing:

• Restoring a private server so you can explore the world again
• Creating a full interactive documentary on our website — chapters covering FusionFall's creation, the Cartoon Network vision behind it, the community that formed, how the game evolved, why it shut down, and how we're bringing it back
• All narrated by human voice actors in audiobook format — you can read along or just listen

We're funded entirely by donations. No ads, no paywalls.

We'd love to hear from this community. What are your strongest memories of FusionFall? What moments should we make sure to cover in the documentary?

Updates coming soon.

Somos un equipo de 4 programadores trabajando en algo que creemos importante: preservar juegos online que han sido cerrados.

¿Qué es Project Afterlife?

Cuando los servidores de un juego online se apagan, todo desaparece: los mundos, las comunidades, las historias. Project Afterlife busca cambiar eso de dos formas:

1. Restauración de servidores privados — Reconstruimos los servidores del juego para que la gente pueda volver a jugar.
2. Documentales interactivos — Para cada juego restaurado, creamos un documental por capítulos en nuestra web: la historia del juego, su auge y caída, análisis de gameplay y relatos de la comunidad. Todo narrado por personas reales en formato audiolibro.

Nuestros dos primeros juegos:

Ambos tendrán servidores privados restaurados y su propio documental interactivo — capítulos narrados cubriendo su creación, era dorada, declive, cierre y resurrección.

Financiación

Iniciativa 100% financiada por donaciones. Sin anuncios, sin muros de pago. Patreon para apoyo recurrente, Ko-fi para donaciones puntuales. Transparencia total.

Estado actual

Estamos en desarrollo activo. La plataforma web se está construyendo en nuestra propia infraestructura. Trabajamos en la restauración de servidores y el contenido documental de FusionFall y Drift City simultáneamente.

Si jugaste a alguno de estos juegos — o si alguna vez perdiste un juego online que amabas — agradecemos tu feedback y apoyo.

Más novedades pronto.
