SIO2 Free Open Source 3D Game Engine for iPhone and iPod Touch ~ 2008 Demo

[Darinrules2000]

Where do u get the source

[TheEms100]

Truly amazing, create crappy games and advertise them. Now on iPod!

[TheAngus1980]

Es un MIERDA

[coolzidedown]

the monkey models came from blender lol

[gamebuster800]

*hobby iOS dev rofls at "FAKE!!!!!" replies*

[zawette]

is this a blender engine

[ChesterDoraemon]

you can't be marketing this kind of crap.  don't embarrass yourself

[daftpunkadr]

Blender Monkey.

[EpiphoneGear]

I would have expected somewhat better from a 3D hardware powered engine. But it is decent enough. there is a huge variation in FPS and poly count, suggesting, that the hills arnt not drawn using larger polygons in the distance, and object are not culled by visiblity. Just my thoughts

[gamebuster800]

@EpiphoneGear Not mentioning it's running in the iPhone simulator, which is nowhere near a representation of the actual performance. The iPhone simulator _does not_ simulate the iPhone's performance in _any_ way.

[RandomMoviesStudios]

This is real.. If you got a mac download iPhone SDK you get an iPhone simulator...

unlikely you gonna pay 99 bucks to get it on the app store....

[insertrandomwords]

Considering there was no credit given to Blender 3D for at least using their monkey head ("Suzanne"). I'm assuming you just used their source code and this is BS.

[MindArkProductions]

Thats Not real. The mouse is on the screen,so that proves you just added Video to the picture.

[syth406]

Why does everyone think this is fake?? I bet half of you don't even know that the iPhone/itouch developer's software (Xcode) comes with macs where you can test your iPhone apps on the computers

[rayworthy]

lmfao

this was made on blender 3d!!!XD

[DattebayoPivot]

obviously fake

[anupchowdary]

LOL! Noobs commenting unnecessarily....

[TheLolzKing]

OMG... The mouse is there for ONE reason noobs!! This is an iphone simulator/emulator!! OMG! IPHONE DEVELOPERS USE IT TO NOT CRASH THEIR IPHONES WHEN TRYING IT...

[GamerFreaq]

FAKE

[robloxaddict]

its fake for 1 reason...that is obvious...the mouse....and no hand controlling anything? i mean the person who made this could have been better at hiding these things

[DerangedGames]

@robloxaddict

WTF how is this fake?I think you need to do more research mate before posting stupid comments like that!.

Its a Simulator in XCode which shows you what the game will play like on the IPhone/IPodTouch before purchasing a licence to enbale this to go on a Device!

Stupid!!!!

[TheRetroZombie]

@DerangedGames your an idiot. I'm pretty sure you are able to do this but this video is fake. I can make one myself. This guy recorded a video of him doing crap on his PC then he used some video effects, possible Wax, to put in a video on a picture of a iphone.

[DerangedGames]

@TheRetroZombie DONT BE SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT, UNTIL YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, DONT POST SUCH FUCKING STUPID COMMENTS LIKE THAT!

iTS CALLED AN iPHONE EMULATOR, IT SIMULATES THE IPHONE ON THE PC TO PREIVEW EXACTELY WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THE DEVICE!

WHY THE FUCK OF U A FUCKING ASS HOLE!

DONT KNOW WHAT UR FUCKING TALKING ABOUT!

DUCK HEAD

[TheRetroZombie]

@DerangedGames jeez calm down. Get off the man period. Of course that will look like on a device but has he achieved on doing it on an Iphone? Why don't he just video tape himself doing it?

[zackpack13]

@robloxaddict uh dude this is not fake you want to know how i know this well first he made that with a game maker and he was testing it on his computer because you can do that with a ipodtouch gamemaker did you know that or are you just stupid and when hes done he just download it on his ipodtouch and ya he used the mouse because that what you do i dont think you can use your finger unless you found away to so dont spaz out and say every thing is fake.

[TheRetroZombie]

@zackpack13 your an idiot. I'm pretty sure you are able to do this but this video is fake. I can make one myself. This guy recorded a video of him doing crap on his PC then he used some video effects, possible Wax, to put in a video on a picture of a iphone. And have you ever heard of punctuation? You the stupid one here.

[RandomMoviesStudios]

@TheRetroZombie ehm ehm if you got a mac you can get the iPhone SIMULATOR WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD SDK!!!!!!!!!!!

dont YOU SEE ITS A MAC CURSOR?

[GoldenHeartedTV]

it's not free

[Fakepup]

Fake? The cursor is from Xcode! When we are making our games we don't test it straight on the iphone with iphone controls. First we use whatever input is simpler!

By the way, check out our little game on the app store, SNOWBALL SMASH ;) Made with sio2 and blender3d!

[Adamthedesigner]

haha nice, he bumps into the Blender Monkey heads:)

[derkakid1]

so you wrote the code in c and got the models from blender?

[LoopStan]

Its not "fake" its called an Emulator. It simulates the iphone on the computer. Get over the fact that these things can be real. Also the models could be from blender but that doesn't mean the game is! Get your facts straight

[TheRetroZombie]

well its not my fault that im not a know it all wannabe asshole. you probably thought it was fake too and looked it up and make it look like you knew it all along

[m2mgm]

nope, not everyone is so dumb that they think that was "fake".

[TheRetroZombie]

well you can probably do that but that video is fake. you can clearly see that theres a cursor. and i bet iphones dont have cursors.

[m2mgm]

did you read loopstan's post? that is real. in xcode, where you build ipod apps, there is an iphone simulator. if you can do that on the simulator, you can do it on the ipod.

[TheRetroZombie]

@m2mgm yea but this isn't real. Obviously you can see a cursor on there. Its just a video cropped into a picture of a Iphone.

[TheRetroZombie]

this is fake, there wouldn't be a cursor. and its made from blender game engine!

[justill45]

wow...

[DartFrogFinatic]

It's fake and elvis is still alive right?

Anyway nice job with he game engine... but I would like if a mac version came out soon, then I could actually use it!

[mariocbase]

The page of the free 3D game Engine is : sio2interactive(dot)com

[00Mucki00]

how u make the game??

[leangreenbean333]

I wish this tech demo was on the app store for free :(

[Piglet266]

How do you make that game?

[saysHayden]

lol...

[NitroMani0]

this game is made with blender!

[THEGODOFASKING]

bull crap worst game ever if it comes out

[anarhy09]

lol hello!! earth calling IDIOT!! Its just an engine not a game!! "Free Open Source 3D Game Engine " - goddamit

[KyleHarner101]

that is fake.

[olegklk]

In the video replies above see the game made with this engine - the Ivory Tower.

Surely it's not a very good representation of this engine's abilities but it's made with it.

[jkgambz]

does this engine have levels of detail? have you tried it on the device?

[BadComedyFakeLaughs]

its blender- MONKEYS!!!

[ElCheM0]

it's slow even in the simulator

[d123s404]

I assume that this game is made in blender. If it is, then you shouldn't be able to port it to the iphon, because if you check the platforms that blender is compatable with, you won't see the iphon mentioned.

Also, i don't think that the iphon has a mouse, and i don't see any fingers holding the iphon, which brings us to the conclusion that this game is not being played on an iphon, but is recorded on a pc, then the video was edited to make it look like an iphon game. Nice try though

[Halfpixel]

This is possibly the dumbest comment I've ever seen on YouTube, and that's really saying a lot.

[cichy3000]

oh god... are You so dumb ?? it is emulator... sth like Windows Mobile 6.5 emulator for Visual Studio...

[Noodlebot]

thanks for that

[jaffa25]

And I assume you're joking...

[HalskovApps]

Nope.. you are wrong.

The app is just running in the iPhone Simulator.

[Nimbulan06]

You stupid, stupid person.

[Cyanidepoison1234]

You aren't serious right?

I can't even being to count the ignorant parts.

[Lxan96dr]

wow you really are a fucking retard its the emulator on a mac moron

[jkgambz]

you know there exists something called the iphone simulator, that comes with the iphone SDK? also, why do you jump to the conclusion that this game was made in blender? maybe the models, but that's a different story

[juankrlox]

where can i buy my iphone mouse??? .. I've noticed theat it goes off the screen sometimes!! pretty awsome!!

[vrshowdown]

he forgot to rig his character

[j4ck70t]

is it jesus?

[MonkeyMethod]

no, he didnt manage to do the "water-walk" 1:20

[starclopsofish]

Suzanne! :D

[arronhunt]

monkey heads from 3D blender

[iChronical]

i got a question, is there any program for the iphone which creates a 2d game which you just have to design, not to code?

[JKBenchmarks]

No.

Learn to code :p.

[iChronical]

yeah i thought that :p

[iChronical]

it's no fake guys. OpenGL really exists.

[JKBenchmarks]

Yeah. OpenGL is not as advanced at DX10 or 11, but it is very nice.

[Wiiwhite]

FAKE!!

If it were real he would tell us where to download...

[WadsXDXD]

FAKE!!!!

[MuHAOS]

20-30 FPS for simulator - its very bad!

How much this demo have on DEVICE?

[inrowllings]

turbosquid monkey...

[moffboffjoe]

nope, suzanne from blender 3d

[pogodrummer]

did you use blender for this?

[cairnsy87]

pretty sick did you create this

[bzy4321]

-_- so fake -_- u can c the mouse -_-

[PaulDavidT]

it's a tech demo which the mouse represents the tilt motion of the iPhone or iPod Touch, they must have used the computer to test the engine so u can see the mouse

[ygavesh]

i had the same feeling as bzy4321.

but your reply helped.

thanks.

[postal2600]

Actually, that's the iPhone Simulator, used for developing and testing iPhone applications on Mac

[Ibly31]

The iPhone SDK comes with it. It's so you don't have to get it onto your iPhone EVERY time you want to test it...

[gluppy2]

whats the point of this game?

[KaishiReed]

It's not a game, it's a tech demo. -.-

[rickaby12]

Haha, Blender monkey lol.

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

That was more easy for me to record it directly from the simulator, but check the website the SDK work at 100% on the device.

[illitrate]

i don't get it - there's a mouse icon moving on the screen?? how'd you get a mouse on the iphone? or is this a video of the Simulator?

[Spelofon]

They're running it on the Iphone simulator

[68040E]

looks slow tho??

[ahero4heor]

It's JESUS! LOL

We need an MMORPG for the iPone/iPod Touch!!!

[Weegie247]

LMAO! sorry but the whole lifeless motion of the person is hilarious xD

THOU MONKEY HEAD SHALL NOT IMPEDE ONES MOVEMENT ACROSS THY MAP!?

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

Yeah ;)

Bone animations are on the way ;)

[Russisretard]

what the hell is this shit game?

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

Its not a game just a demo to show functionalities...

[ToBiOh2]

OMG! Thats AWESOME!

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

What is even more awesome... its free and open source go grab your copy of the SDK ;)

[300SpartanX]

@SIO2INTERACTIVE dude do u have a version 4 windows?

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

Yeah, by default SIO2 have a toolchain build around blender in order to export models in the SIO2 format and optimize it to run on the iPhone & iPod Touch, check the SIO2 Interactive website for more information...

[Seraphim2archangel]

i remember that monkey from Blender software..Cool...

COOL

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

Yes, by default I want to provide a "all free" package and available tools in order for you to create games and 3D app. for the iPhone & iPod touch. However with the flexibility of the current file format, exporter for other 3D package can be easily created.

But "out of the box", it is all based on free and open source tools & libraries.

[jessvj]

is it true it is used by blender, curious????

[nugget346]

yes it uses blender to model things end to export.

[jessvj]

so say I use blender game engine 2 make a game I can export and just mess around with it?

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

Hummm not really, its not a port of the game engine on the iPhone, checkout the website as well as the video tutorial to know the limitations. Basically Im using Blender as a 3D game editor for SIO2, where you can link all the resources together etc... check it out!

Cheers,

[jessvj]

oh thx

[jessvj]

one last question can you export this through say an iphonebrowser on a jailbroken ipod touch??????????

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

I don't know but I hope not... instead how do you want to expect decent game on your portable device if the developers cannot even pay their rent and employees???

For the price of the games on the app store (since its pretty cheap like 5$ to 10$) you better pay it in order to encourage the developers to create better game...

Jailbreak is killing the quality of the apps, please encourage the developers instead of stealing what they create for you...

[jessvj]

some of the installer apps are really decent and in our current house hold due to the economy we can't really spend money at stores for even the cheapest things. srry, but I do here that some of the installer apps have converted over to 2.0 and that Crash Bandicoot game looks kool.

[qwerfderf]

looks alot like psp

[Cabroni2]

it will be able for openpandora ?

[yertalert]

does this use the apple iphone sdk? or what?

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

Yup, it is built around the official iPhone SDK, so you'll need an Intel based Mac. to compile & run.

[leandropim]

wow, i was working in a engine too, but i found this, its more interesting.. i downloaded and i´m want to learn it...

i have a md2 loader, with keyframe animations i works awesome, if anybody wants...

congratulations for the project.

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

If you want send me over your code, Im preparing a demo using to demonstracte the "custom loading" functionalities of the SIO2 file format, and Im willing to demonstrate it using an MD2. If your code is good enough I can also integrate it in the core (and give you the creds. as well).

ps: Make sure that the source that you got is on the public domain... Tks!

[8300dvo]

when you adding animation to the model? lol

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

Dude Im still waiting for your source code using GL_MATRIX_PALETTE ;)

[shortperson1026]

This is amazing!

Great job and I'm looking foward to whatever you have in store :)

[Neo917]

so are you going to relies this stufF?

[SIO2INTERACTIVE]

hummmm what do you mean!? I you mean "release" it's already out there... Click on more info at the top of this page and you'll find the link to our website.
