Wondering how things have been going with wahkiz' work on the iDope homebrew game?Tough, apparently - the dev reports that a recent hard drive failure had erased coding for this game's versions 0.1 and 0.2, among other important data.

Instead of just giving up, however, wahkiz decided to remake iDope from scratch.

And thus we're happy to report that the game's version 0.3.2 is now available for download, marking this game's first public release. wahkiz further notes that several new features have been added to this Dope Wars port for the iPhone:

* Random Events such as police chases and loan shark chases.
* Hospital facility to treat your illness.
* Ability to pay off loan sharks.
* Take on the world, compete on the charts with the rest of the players of iDope using wkLive.

In case you're wondering, wkLive is an gaming community service that allows you to hook up with other iDope players. You will need wkLive to play iDope, so you may want to create an account first. Enjoy the download!
