LINUXGAMES

The developers of the open source game project Yo Frankie notified us of a new contest:

To kickstart some new levels for Yo Frankie I have decided to run a six week competition to create new levels for the game. These can then be included in a future release of Yo Frankie, which will include updates for the next Blender release and bugfixes.

The contest runs from January 16^th to February 28th; here are the rules:

• Collaboration is fine, but I’ll only accept an entry from a single person.
• Final level must be under 100mb compressed.
• 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

The project was conceived as a way to validate open source 3D game creation and features third-person perspective platforming. You can read more about Yo Frankie’s design at the project wiki.
