I do have stuff! A lucky benefit of the fact that I never delete anything. (Only exception being some stuff that was hit by a virus in 2003, but most of the files cleaned up well) I have everything I downloaded from the very first day I went online.
Here's the Sonic SV 2 Demo. I just played it while it was uploading, and y'know, Dawn Hill is nice and doesn't look too bad even now. No denying the engine is buggy though. I managed to trigger one where I hit spikes and got stuck in a loop where it infinitely made the dead Sonic object. :P
That's the only thing I have by you other than that randomly-discovered demo I posted earlier, and SV1 which is on SFGHQ. However, I have a ton of games that were made on the SV2 engine if that's what you're meaning by SV2 titles. I'll start uploading a few.
Update: Here's one of those SV2 titles that I was fond of back in the day. Mobius the Next Revolution: Shadow Returns. Funny that this one actually came to mind a few weeks ago, because it turns out the title screen music is from Jaguar XJ220 on the Sega CD. I burned a copy of that game to try it and ran into the music and thought "Holy crap, that's from Shadow Returns!"
I find this funny. I played lots of fangames as a kid, and they often used music ripped from other games. Now that I go back to expand my gaming horizons, I run into this stuff all the time where I recognize music from a fangame and not the other way around. I remember the first time I played Power Drift in MAME, and I recognized the music from a fangame but wasn't sure what... I went searching for HOURS until I figured out it was from Zoneracer (a pretty neat game in itself!)
Update 2: Here's some stuff that I did in the SV2 engine that I found.
Sonic Zoom. Made around February or March of 2002. I was nine years old at the time and had only started working with TGF/MMF three months earlier. This was actually discontinued because my MMF1.5 trial had run out (after I'd worn through a TGF trial as well). When both ran out, I got desperate and actually, as a result, downloaded my first warez copy of a program. I managed to find a copy of Click and Create and a copy of MMF 1.0 (which wouldn't open the 1.5 files I'd made, so they were inaccessible until I bought a legit copy in 2004) on some shady site. Hell to the yeah!
Sonic KSOFT. Made around May 2002-- I think. The file timestamps say November 2003, but I believe that coincides with when I moved some stuff to a (MASSIVE compared to the 12gb drive I was using on my computer, a P2/450, at the time) 40gb hard drive I bought. I personally remember working on this during my first year fangaming, and that's backed up by a document I wrote a year after fangaming which highlighted this game.
More SV2 engine goodness, but I think it's actually more glitchy this time around. I dunno why. This one took a more Adventure 2 sort of vibe and had both Sonic and Shadow. Interesting to note that the first level is populated with fancharacter sprites that I ripped without permission from every sprite pack I could get my hands on. Thus it has a lot of familiar faces from back in the day!
