Photoshop action to create an arcade stone background

Today I was playing a bit with Photoshop to create a stone background for a one-week game I am developing for the experiment.

I wanted something random, with a style that reminds old style arcades.

I found this tutorial and I modified it to fit to my needs.

Then I developed an action to optimize and speed up the entire process.

This is the result of the action, obviously always random.

Stone action for Photoshop

It’s not a state-of-the-art action but is what I need, and you can custom some level styles to use it in a profitable way.

Download the action and give it a try

    That’s a pretty nice effect, I might want to use it in one of my games.

    It doesn’t work for me, if i use the settings for the stained glass effect it just turns all black.
