Tux! ⸺ Search for Sardinia

A few years ago I shared a 3D model of Tux I created using Blender, mentioning how it could one day become a game…
Well, over the last year and a half I’ve made quite some progress with this game project, and I figured it’s time to provide you with a little update. By now, Tux can run around, slide on his belly, wall-jump, collect sardines and find items to use, among other things.

Bounce

You can find the source code on GitLab, and the CI artifacts built there are also available through itch.io. I hope you’ll have fun playing, and maybe even add some levels using Edddy. Be sure to share them here or aboard the Colourship if you do!

Red herring

The GIF reminded me of an old videogame based on the Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog cartoons, it’s called Sheep, Dog 'n Wolf. :wolf: :sheep: :duck:

I loved SDnW. Great graphics too, so thanks. :slight_smile:

Much features have been added to Tux! (and its level editor) over the past year. The game now has 5 different hats and 6 levels. I’m currently working on adding character customisation, which is almost ready for release.

After that it’s time to add battle mode. Btw, for people running Arch-based distros, there’s AUR packages available of both the game and the editor.

Tux needs to be able to wear tux as a hat (itd be funny)

Well, like the caps in Super Mario 64, all hats in Tux! are functional: They provide certain items/abilities that are only available as long as the hat is worn. So as part of character customisation, I consider hats to be out of the question. Hats have to do something, beyond just being funny.
