I have recently updated the GD archive of PD's as my friends site is no longer availble.

Added or updated:

CloverPD-v2.4.2.2-Android.apk

Community SPD v1.0.apk

DHAlpha's SPD v2.4.0 Mod.apk

Experienced Pixel Dungeon Redone v2.18.2.apk

ismvru's Easier SPD v2.4.2m1.apk

Pixel Towers v0.0.3.apk

Shattered Pixel Dungeon v2.4.2 gold mod.apk

TweakedPD-v2.4.2.0-Android.apk

More than 300 versions of PD.

Please do not download the entire archive or Google will suspend the account and nobody will be able to get anything. Just grab what you need. I stronly urge other PD archivers to add these to their collections and share them. About 75% of these PD's are available from the author's site or Github and I ask you download from those places first.

Although my archive has been posted and available for nearly a year, even after Fandom's recent overhaul they include only a fraction of what is available.

Also, if anyone can contact Dominowood, I'm sure he would like to fill in his missing files, most if not all of which are available in my archive.

Thank you for providing the archive.

Do you have source code for all of these versions? As far as I know, these are all licensed under GPLv3. Under GPLv3, I believe that if you are distributing the binary of a program, you have to be willing to provide the source code to a user upon request. So it would be nice if you included source code with the apks by default.

edit- actually tbh I do not know enough about copyleft / gpl to know if you need to provide source code. Maybe it is just the developer of the fork that needs to provide the source code, not you. idk.

It's nice of you to imply that I'm breaking the law by sharing those files. However, to answer your question, no, I do not have the source codes for all of those games. Most of those games were written by other people and those source codes are available on GitHub. In addition, 00-Evan personally requested that I make those available to the public. Of course, if it's going to be an issue, I will simply shut down that G drive and not share those files with anybody any further. Personally, I find it peculiar that the archive has been available for a year now and nobody has had an issue with it including the lead developers of the games. As for my own Pixel Dungeon mods, of course I have the codes for that. While you're implying threats of legal dispute, you may as well go over to the older archives and complain to those people as well such as Domino wood and Fandom and 00-Evan's own PD archive. I'm sure that the PD community will really appreciate it. I have over 5GB of PD apk's, and a source is typically 10x the output size, which means about 60GB of source code. If YOU want to pay Google for over 65GB of storage and the additional bandwidth as well as copy it all from GitHub, let me know, otherwise, stop trolling.

Do you happen to have a mod named "soviet pd" or "soviet pixel dungeon" ? I had it 4 years ago but it always crashed because the language of my phone (or something like that) iirc the app icon was the symbol with the hammer & sickle thing , i also have been hunting for a pd mod that was inspired in the "journey to the west" tale without luck 😣

Any possibility to torrent this? Gdrive is a bit tricky to keep downloads available.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I do not know of a means to to that at this time. I live in a very remote area with no internet coverage and very poor phone coverage. That means I have neither the stable connection or bandwidth required for torrent. Therefore, I can not host files on my own. Torrent requires a software to act as a server and GDrive does not support torrent. If somebody else wants to host the files and provide a torrent they are welcome to do so. I am open to suggestions.

A torrent would be good. However, I personally use tor browser / tails / whonix for privacy as much as I possibly/practically can, and torrenting and the tor network do not mix well. So I cannot do it myself without compromising my privacy/anonymity (vpns are not good enough to hide from NSA). Maybe if I get to the point where I can do I2P stuff, I could torrent over that, but that would be very far into the future.

I'm not home right now, but I could definitely upload this somewhere.

Awesome, thank you
