Okay, so their's this game I really like (FeralHeart), and its creator ran off with the game's code... Is there any way to get the code back? The game is a complete game, but it really could use some updating, but the rest of the staff/creator team needs the game code to do that... The game was created using Ogre 3D....
((Not sure if this is in the right section or not... Sorry.))

Re: Curiosity
Forget it. There are decompilers out there, but they all suck in one way or another. And in any case, there's no way to get the variable names, comments etc back, so the code would be in pretty much unreadable form.
Yeah, I think this should go to Off Topic section.

Re: Curiosity
So you are a member of the development team for this project http://www.feral-heart.com/ and the situation is that the programmer has abandoned the project and has taken the source code with them?
If that's the case, then you are likely boned. Normally the code would be kept in a private repository that only members of the development team have access to. If it's always been kept on a solitary programmer's PC then that's a recipe for just this sort of disaster.
If you're not a member of their team then why not just ask them if you can join? It seems like their forums are still active so why not ask around there?
