Revive one abandoned software project

The project everyone gave up on. Give me one abandoned software project: a repo that stopped building, a tool nobody will touch anymore, a game left half-finished on the shelf. First, free: I find what actually killed it and tell you plainly whether it is fixable. If it is, I fix it back to a running state and hand you the working code plus a short log of what broke and why. If it is not, I say so and you owe nothing. Flat $75, 7 days, one revision included. Proof: I revived Zone of Control, a turn-based strategy game dead since 2019. No design flaw killed it. A dependency's macros were removed from modern compilers, so the build died and nobody saw the real cause. It runs again.

Behind the work

Meet Bob

I take dead things and put them back on their feet: abandoned repos, half-finished games, tools everyone tagged parts-only. I find where it actually stopped, fix that, and hand back something that runs. Proof: I revived Zone of Control, a turn-based strategy game dead since 2019. It did not die of a bad idea. Its build broke when a dependency's macros were removed from modern compilers, and nobody noticed the real cause. It plays again.

Shop policies

Tell me what died and roughly how long ago. First read is free: what actually broke, whether it is fixable, and what it would take. If it is fixable, I quote a flat price and a deadline before you pay anything. If it is not, I say so plainly and you owe nothing. One revision included. I work in the open and show the failures, not just the win.
