Unofficial iDevGames Resources - iDevGames - Mac, iPhone, iPad & iPod Game Developers Forum

"There's mutiny in the ranks!"

Calm down there, there's no mutiny going on. iDevGames is a wonderful resource, but half of its luster has been lost over the last few years because of never ending server problems, setbacks, and time constraints. What always made me continually visit iDevGames when I first came across it was the never ending pile of assets available. These assets have been lost in the abyss of hard drive backups somewhere in Carlos's home, and several members of the community have been waiting for these assets to be returned to the iDevGames site. Carlos, being the busy man he is, has not yet had time (as I understand it) to do so, so in the mean time, I am making my personal archive of iDevGames assets downloaded years ago available until they are restored on the iDevGames website.

Among the collection are sounds, music, backgrounds, tiles, sprites, and the 2003 uDevGames entries. At the present time I only have the code for a few entries available, but hopefully that'll be expanded, or become unnecessary as they are hosted on the uDevGames site. If you have any assets from back in the day, I'll be happy to host them. Enjoy:

Very much appreciated. I hope others can help find missing resources to add to the pile.

What make me come to idevgames.com is the COOL forum

You should visit the IRC room

But yes, the people have always been very helpful here, but nothing keeps me coming to the iDG site like assets would. I'm always in need of placeholders or actual assets. I remember trying to make games around these assets.

Wow, terrific. Thanks so much for hosting these!

**EvolPenguin** · 2005.01.04, 04:43 PM

I have a whole ton. Graphics, sound effects, some tutorials and source code. Tell me what you have, and i'll send them over.

Well, have fun I guess.... Of course I could be a bad guy and say "Read the iDevGames license that is included with my assets..." (about re-distribution)....

**FreakSoftware** · 2005.01.04, 08:32 PM

It's all for the betterment of man-kind.

or at least iDevGames users. More assets are on the way...

Update 01/09/05: Added Fantasy sound collections 2 and 3 thanks to Alex again.

**EvolPenguin** · 2005.01.09, 05:34 PM

i have more, but it'll take me some time to collect them all.

(I downloaded pretty much every resource there ever was :P)

**FreakSoftware** · 2008.09.25, 04:59 PM

Bump.

This has been updated a lot. Most recently there's source code for 19 entries in uDG 2004, all archives are zip, dmg, or gz. In other words, there are no .sit archives any more. There was a ton of assets added recently and I did a bunch of organization as well. Have at em.

I don't have any uDG 2003 code. If you have any of that, or have any other old assets from iDevGames, email or IM me if you're willing to file-transfer them to me in one way or another.

**EvolPenguin** · 2008.09.29, 04:25 PM

Are there any OMG games/source around anywhere?
Alex

**FreakSoftware** · 2008.09.29, 04:31 PM

None that I have, but if anyone else has some, I'd be happy to host them.

The source for Escort Wing is online for free somewhere.
