When I prepared uploading "Pinkie Jump" earlier, I discovered something important:


futzi01's work is not on Google Cache anymore. Visiting the cached pages only results in an error message by Google.
In case anyone is worried, this has nothing to do with futzi01 not approving of his work getting re-uploaded or him trying to prevent that his games can still get played or anything of that sort.
The way Google Cache works,Google regularly crawls existing web sites and updates the information in the cache with the infos it finds. It usually does this every day, or every few days if the website does not get updated very often anymore. But, if a website has been deleted, the crawlers Google uses crawl the deleted website anyway, which means, the information in Google Cache gets overwritten with the infos of the deleted site, resulting in the site disappearing from Google Cache as well.
Google Cache stores sites for up to a month by default, but if a deleted site gets crawled, they are immediately wiped from the Cache. This is what happened a few days ago with futzi01's work as I had to discover today.
Not very efficient for archiving sites, but Google is also not an archive, it is a search engine, so it keeps only relevant sites that still exist around. In hindsight, this was to expect at some point.
The Google Cache links have been removed from the descriptions of the uploads already and I notified about the changes, but I want to let you know about this in a journal entry as well.
But, even though Google has not cached his games and animations anymore, futzi01's work can still be viewed/played via the WaybackMachine, whose links are still included in the descriptions and will remain there.
I will also put this whole archive here into the WaybackMachine, including all the uploads (and you can do so, too, if you want!), once everything is here, so, there's no reason to worry about anything.
futzi01's great contributions will always be preserved in one way or another. I will upload more of his stuff very soon!

Here comes the second update, futzi01's animation "Pinkie Pie jumping", which he created for his game "Pinkie Jump":

The game itself will be uploaded tomorrow! Also, as you will notice when reading the original description, the source file futzi01 offered got deleted from his Dropbox account. If you happen to have it downloaded from him, please let me know and send me the file, I will re-upload it and add it then!

I also made a little update to the description of "Canterlot Defender":

First, I didn't include the mentions of the Android and iOS version from futzi01's original description, because his stash could not be recovered, but I found the Android version somewhere else, so I updated the description now and added the rest, alongside with the link where the Android version of "Canterlot Defender" can be found.
This makes the description of "Canterlot Defender" complete now!

Hello and welcome to the futzi01-Pony-Archive! After two all-nighters, more than 24 hours of gathering everything and only three hours of sleep, the archive for all the works of futzi01, the brony fandom's busiest pony flash game maker, is ready to get started!
The first two uploads, of futzi01's first two pony games "Dash" and "Canterlot Defender", are already here:

More will come as the time goes on! I want to upload one or two pieces every day, to fill this archive quickly and to bring back futzi01's work as fast as possible.
Look out for updates in the coming days and weeks!
