The elves were about to deliver the last gifts to Santa Claus. Unfortunately, they didn't notice that all the toys got lost into the starry sky... now it is on you to collect all lost presents to save Christmas!

"RUDI" is an open source christmas game. Experience fun and action in a living & graphically stunning world packed with passion and wonder, elves, sweet penguins, eskimo villages and lots of gifts to collect. Travel around the world with Rudi - the presents got lost everywhere. Each gift you collect adds a sleigh to your chain.. don't cross them! Santa will give you some delicious gingerbread cookies for every sleigh at the end of each level, so make sure to collect as many as possible!

Rudi is a game for everyone. Beginners can start promptly, without reading a manual. You will control Rudi with the cursor keys only. If you are a hardcore gamer, you will love it too, as some packets are really well-hidden and require a lot of skill to capture them.

As if that were not enough, we added a complete do-it-yourself game development workshop! Create your own games with the A7 game engine with ease and the help of this well-structured e-book. Learn about the development process, the game mechanics and its tricks. Code examples and pictures will guide you through it and make game development a pleasure.

One level demo fetauring the Northpole will be released on Christmas Eve 2007.

Developed by Christian Behrenberg in association with trisymphony.com. We support the Creatice Commons, therefore we use some music done by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) for the soundtrack. The game source is GPL licensed, the packed game distribution is free and the workshop is licensed under a Creative Commons license.

The game will be released on Christmas Eve 2007. So, further information will be added here. C&C are welcome. Please visit my site: http://www.christian-behrenberg.com

Sounds and looks awesome, first believed the screens were renders - on the second look I noticed alot of bad looking trees though :( *Puts reminder on desktop*


Hehe thanks :)

the bad looking trees were looking better a week ago but we decided to make them look worser but render faster by removing a specific shader for the trees.

Cheers
Christian!

Respekt, gute Arbeit!
:)

It looks very good and I can't wait the release.
I like the way the penguins walk. Very cute.


Awesome, I can't wait till this one is released. Looks like the type of game both of my kids will enjoy.

Love the graphics and the style from what I've seen thus far. Nice little Snake meets a 3D engine game :).

Your penguins rock my face. Great work!


This looks really fun. Like the snake game but with rudolph. :) I think it's awesome that it's free and open source. Plus I've always liked christmas based games. Hats off to you guys!
