The modeling, animation and level design were done in Blender. Though some of the assets for making the levels and the characters are shared, the gameplay differs between versions.Īs with previous 'open' movie projects, the game is partly designed to promote the open source modeling and animation tool Blender. The Blender Game Engine version of the game is titled 'A Furry Vendetta', while the Crystal Space version is titled 'Furry Funny Frankie'. There are two versions of the game on the DVD, one with the Blender Game Engine, and a version with Crystal Space. Since December 9, 2008, the game is available to download. The game is licensed under either the GNU GPL or LGPL, with all content being licensed under Creative Commons license Attribution 3.0.

Due to technical delays, the actual DVD release date was postponed to November 14. The project started February 1, 2008, and development was completed at the end of July 2008. In the game, players assume the role of Frank, the sugar glider who was the antagonist of the film Big Buck Bunny, or Momo, a monkey created especially for this game. Yo Frankie! runs on any platform that runs Blender and Crystal Space, including Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows.

Like the Blender Institute's previous open film projects, the game is made using free software. It is based on the universe and characters of the free film produced earlier in 2008 by the Blender Institute, Big Buck Bunny. Yo Frankie! is an open source video game made by the Blender Institute, part of the Blender Foundation, originally scheduled for release in August 2008.
