Ruckingenur Challenge, Phase Two
Holy crap! It’s time for Phase Two of the Ruckingenur Challenge! If you somehow missed, it the Ruckingenur Challenge is a contest where YOU create a level for the not-yet-but-perhaps-one-day-award-winning Ruckingenur II. Here are the conditions for Phase Two: Create a level using the Ruckingenur Editor. You don’t have to create any artwork, but you [...]
Ruckingenur Editor
When I released Ruckingenur II three months ago, the reaction was pretty epic. One of the most common comments was that there was no level editor; today, I deliver!
And we have a winner!
After much deliberation, a winner has been picked for Phase One of the Ruckingenur Challenge. Congratulations to Fredrik of Sweden! You can view Fredrik’s submission at the end of this post. It was tough picking a winner; while I only received 9 submissions, they were all very diverse and generally well thought out. While some [...]
Ruckingenur Editor, Alpha Release
Yesterday I released an alpha version of the Ruckingenur Editor to people who submitted an entry for Phase One and everyone else who was on my mailing list. While I intended to wait a few days before releasing it publicly, I figure that I might as well release it now; more people trying it out [...]
Phase One has ended!
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 [...]

Ruckingenur Challenge Poll
With exactly one week until entries are due for Phase One of the Ruckingenur Challenge, I’d like to try to get a feeling for how things are going. So far, I’ve only received one entry – is anyone else working on an entry? Did anyone attempt to start an entry but stop before finishing? Is [...]
Ruckingenur II, Level 7
Continuing the countdown, there are only 8 days left until submissions are due for Phase One of the Ruckingenur Challenge. Y’all best get crackin’. Yeah, how about that – an entirely hybrid circuit. The exochip on the left is the brain of the drone controller and dispatches commands to the entire drone network. The exochip [...]
Ruckingenur II, Level 6
Continuing with yesterday’s post, I present level six of Ruckingenur II. Remember – there are only 9 days left until Phase One of the Ruckingenur Challenge is due! After hacking the drone transmitter, the insurgents are able to successfully radio and then ambush a drone, as depicted in a movie that may one day be [...]
Ruckingenur II, Level 5
As of writing, there are only 10 days left in the Ruckingenur Challenge. If you haven’t started your level yet, get to it – I’ve only received one submission so far! If you’re lacking inspiration, here’s a special feature to help your creativity along: the fifth level of Ruckingenur II. As it’s unlikely that I’ll [...]
