I sent a message to Kanna Yoshihiro, an author of Cannonsmash, who was slightly more active than the other, and informed him about the conversion of CVS to Git.

[Trilarion]

Notification of C.Y.O. Adventures is not necessary. No conversion took place. It was a single download/revision anyway.

[Trilarion]

Notification of Deathchase 3D is not necessary. No conversion took place. It was a single download only.

[Trilarion]

I contacted Marc Lehmann, the main author of Deliantra, and asked him if it would be possible to convert the CVS to Git and upload it somewhere, because this would be even better than what I have now.

[Trilarion]

I contacted Wolfgang Silbermayr, author of Freenukum, about the Bzr to Git conversion.

[Trilarion]

I sent a message to Joseph Hewitt, the author of Dungeon Monkey Unlimited, and told him about the SVN to Git conversion. He has some of his games on Github, but not this one.

[Trilarion]

I sent a message to imartinez, an active author of eAdventure, and told him about the SVN to Git conversion.

[Trilarion]

I sent a message to the email adress given on the home page of Gilbert and the Doors, informing them about the conversion of source releases to Git.

[Trilarion]

[Trilarion]

Key Runner doesn't need a notification because anyway there is only a single revision.

[Trilarion]

I sent a message to RB[0], an author of Magic Gardeners Tournament, and told him about the conversion of source releases to Git.

[Trilarion]

[Trilarion]

I sent a message to Brian Wellington, author of XBill, informing him about the conversion of source releases to Git.

[Trilarion]

I cannot inform the current maintainers of xdigger, because I do not have an email of the Debian games group and the owner site of https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/xdigger is https://launchpad.net/~pkg-games-devel and that doesn't help me. At some later time, when I have finally found out how to contact the Debian games group, I might also tell them about xdigger.

[Trilarion]

Stingrolled, Vertigo and XInvaders3D don't need notifications because no conversion took place with only 1-2 source releases each.

[Trilarion]

I wrote a message to Robert Noll, one author of StressFreeZone, via the SF message system, and asked him about the sources, if the SVN is still available somewhere.

[Trilarion]

I sent a message to Gil Megidish, the author of Heart of the Alien, via the SF message system, and informed him about the conversion of CVS to Git.

[Trilarion]

I got a nice reply from Gil Megidish. He plans to move it to GitHub in the next days and add some patches that he collected over the years. I'm absolutely fine with that and will make sure to include it in the corresponding entry once his new repository is live.

[Trilarion]

I got a nice message from Daniele Napolitano in which he stated that the development "stopped mostly due to lack of time and huge graphic engine rewrite needed for GTK3/4 porting" as well as that he doesn't "know about copyright status against of the original Bejeweled!".

MUSOSU doesn't need a notification because there was no conversion with only a single source release.

[Trilarion]

I got a nice reply from Eric Gillespie. He mentions the original developer and ask about the purpose of the conversion. I will reply to him and tell him about the preservation goal.

[Trilarion]

I got a reply from Marc Lehmann, author of Deliantra, where he tells me that CVS still works fine for him. I still would rather have a Git version, but if not, it's fine too.

[Trilarion]

I got a nice reply from Ben Webb saying "Oh, wow, FreecivAC. Haven't worked on that for 15 years or more.". Yes, I basically send messages from the past.
