Remove unused objects from hidden layers, especially high poly objects which will increase startup time. If you want to keep them as a reference move them into a backup scene. Check the files before you upload them. Jan 6. Replay value — Come up with a way that makes your level fun to play again and again!

This project should be something a non technical artist can finish. You can make a level without adding any logic bricks or scripts, the players have their own logic, so you can get by with knowing property names to assign to different level objects — see the wiki for details.

This is not an official Blender Foundation competition, see my contact details below. To get updated YoFrankie files from Subversion see projects. No age limit on participating. Final level must be under mb compressed excluding existing assets. No modifications to the player logic jump height, glide distance etc — bug fixes are an exception.

Your level must be under the same creative commons license as all existing YoFrankie levels. No node based materials just use material-textures for more efficient shaders You can enter more then one level Level cannot have been entered into a previous competition Guidelines Texture dimensions should be one of , , , etc. Uploading There is an open ftp space on blender. It works like this: ftp to: download.

Useful resources for level editing An overview of the game logic used in Yo Frankie! Get the Blender 2. I had to download the official 2. David Mulder: Yo Frankie! As said, Yo Frankie! I cant control only Player1 in two players mode. How fix that? If anyone is still having trouble figuring out how to pick up a sheep, you just need to stand right next to it and attack.

You may need to attack it once to stun it to be able to get close enough to throw it up into the air. The game runs great on my Linux box with 1gig ram, geforce The levels have been beautifully designed and I have really enjoyed wandering around aimlessly marveling at the scenery.

You have breathed new life into the blender game engine and shown us all what amazing potential it has.

Thanks again for all your hard work and effort. HEL, thanks for the kind words, from our side was very exciting of course, and we tried to make the community feel the same at least a bit, sharing the chance to choose a name for the game, make animations, and so on.. Vadim P, there is no textures at all in that screenshot, is all geometry, are you sure you have the textures and everything in the right folder s?

After some unsuccessful test on the site, I quickly downloaded torrent. The split screen and outright great, the interaction of the squirrel monkey and its cool. I started to add in the library of cactus, sacks of apples and wooden barrels, placing objects on a human scale in the levels gives a feeling of gigantism, a squirrel being smaller than a cat barrels apples and other items are huge!

The game runs at 30 frame in level 1, no slow or graphics problem Thank you to you all Gang apricot, when the next episode? Thanks for this beautiful project!

However, the ppc version seems to be working fine and with sound! First: This is an awesome game guys. Second: The Download version Should probably have a readme. Fourth: Is there away to get a list of all the Tutorials that are going to be release? That way I can know what to look forward to either via download or from the DVD?

Game logic Tutorial would be nice too. Got my kit! Yes, I know you can toggle this with the nvidia tool, but how hard would it have been to toggle a single flag inside the game?

For the people with no textures, did you create your own executables from within Blender? If you downloaded the uncompressed torrent, you probably did. For people having trouble figuring some things out, there are simple instructions if you press F1. And a suggestion. For Windows users, why not create a download that is an installation file using the free Inno Setup tool? If you guys have a slow Internet connection or if you just want to get Yo Frankie!

Radeon driver the open source one. Maybe some of my problems can be fixed with your help. Before I get started, I want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done in making a free, open game. Now for the bad news.

First, the game will not run with the open source radeon driver. The game does run, but the only graphics I can see are a gray screen. I can hear the music in the background, but I only see gray.

It worked with fglrx, but not with radeon. I apologize. I figured textures would be lower quality, that geometry would be blockier. But when I set the graphics to low and turned off shaders, I was greeted with an absolutely terrible looking game. I was appalled to find that textures were blurry as can be, certain parts like the dirt and the water seemed to have NO texture, all the lighting was GONE, and so was the sky!

NO SKY! The HUD still looked really good… in starch contrast to the terrible looking 3d! I turned on shaders out of curiosity, and in exchange for dropping my frame rate to absolutely unplayable levels, I found that many of these complaints were fixed! A little bit of that rant is creeping out… Why would people making a free game pour all of their effort into making a game look good only at the highest quality, and then neglect the low-end completely?

But it was like no effort was made to make the game look even halfway decent for the low-end systems. I want to end this on a good note. Maybe even I could do it; I am an aspiring indie developer, but my system is low-end.

Can the Blender Game Engine make low-end games? If it can, then maybe I could do it. There are enough resources that with the time and effort, I could probably learn the BGE and then customize the game myself.

Thank you for reading my wall of text. Again, I apologize if it was kind of scathing. Thanks for your hard work, and good luck with your future endeavors.
