Phase One has ended!

Written by Zach on October 16, 2008 — 2 Comments

Phase One of the Ruckingenur Challenge has come to an end! If you haven’t emailed me your submission yet, get it to me as soon as possible. I will begin collating the eight entries I received tomorrow after work; we should have a winner within the next few days. In the meantime, start reading up on Lua if you’re interesting in programming a level for Phase Two of the Ruckingenur Challenge.

    For anyone trying to make that awesome graphics effect found in Ruckingenur, I think I’ve figured out how to do it decently in Photoshop CS3. To start with, resize the image to 50%. Then Save For Web as a restrictive color GIF, 28 or so colors, "pattern dither", and resizing up 200%. For an even more dramatic effect, instead of resizing to 50%, resize smaller like 25% or whatever.

    I’ll be releasing official Ruckingenur design specs in the next few days, when I formally release a beta of the editor. This will include information about how to script levels and how to create graphics that compliment the rest of the game.
