Was at a graffiti workshop at the Danube Canal with some colleagues. Learned a lot about Vienna graffiti culture and had fun spraying in public for the first time. 🪿

Legal graffiti wall at the Danube Canal with various fresh paintings, most of them depicting a goose. There are many different spray cans in the front.

Reimplemented one of my favourite gimmicks from Eigengrau where you have to activate all the plates to trigger an event, but I think you can transform the mechanic even further. 🎲 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Scene from an unfinished top-down adventure game with various pressure-plates arranged in a test room. The plates display their state through color and a circular mark which changes when walking over them.

Another scene from an unfinished top-down adventure game with more various pressure-plates arranged in a test room. The plates display their value through color and a number of dots which changes when walking over them.

Scene from the shoot 'em up Eigengrau where you have to activate all pressure-plates to disable enemy shields. Pew Pew!

Maybe I should just make another Breakout clone. I think that's the sixth time I've implemented this mechanic and I'm still having fun. 🏓 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Decided to implement a couple of funky alternative render styles in the latest update for Eigengrau. 🌈 store.steampowered.com/app/1624320/... mausgames.itch.io/eigengrau #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #EigengrauGame

A scene of the colorful shoot 'em up Eigengrau showing the pixel shading alternative render style, where foreground objects are pixelated with various degree.

A scene of the colorful shoot 'em up Eigengrau showing the retro shading alternative render style, where everything looks like the classic game Asteroids.

A scene of the colorful shoot 'em up Eigengrau showing the sepia shading alternative render style, where everything uses sepia toning with additional chromatic aberration effects.

Near the top of a mountain built from lots of smooth grey blocks and with many spiky enemies around to avoid. Some of the blocks are colored and highlight the path of the player. Never give up.

A bright cube in a cold and dark world with some cryptic puzzles on its side. What do they mean?

A little ghost-like creature flying around in a bright space, trying to avoid dark adversaries and to reach a hole in the ground to the next floor. Keep going little ghost!
