I found some projects which might help:

https://github.com/xesf/dgds-viewer - The aim of this project is to provide resource viewer of the various games developed by Dynamix using their Dynamix Game Development System engine.

https://github.com/SkaZzMaSTaH/Dynamix-GDS-Extractor - Volume file extractor for Dynamix, Inc. games created using the GDS engine.

https://github.com/SkaZzMaSTaH/Dynamix-FNT-Editor - Font editor for Dynamix, Inc. games created using the GDS engine.

https://github.com/SkaZzMaSTaH/Dynamix-SDS-Text-Editor - Text editor for Dynamix, Inc. game SDS files created using the GDS engine.

I did some work on DGDS at a time when i had just discovered PyConstruct. The DGDS fondness for counted lists make it a good match for GDS/SDS/TDS files

SkaZzMaSTaH is a Spanish speaker and his programs' dialogs and labels are in Spanish. His repos are incomplete with missing classes and resources. I downloaded his sources and fixed the missing items. I derived the missing classes and though not perfect, I translated strings into English (GoogleTranslate) and recreated the missing resources. They compile and build usable EXEs.

I'll put up a page for my fixes when I get a bit of time. I did not touch the viewer as it is in JS and my skills in JS are very limited. However it would be great to have a viewer for Dynamix games on par with that of SV.
