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.

I don't want to make assumptions about their backend, but they should just fix it before bumping any size or time limits. That 30 FPS limit is similar ridiculous. 🫠

And that they fix the audio hitch near the end. 🙉

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!

Thank you! I think the colors fit perfectly to this month. 🙂

I hope one day I can add a small level-pack to it. Got so many ideas, but not enough time. 😅

Martin Mauersics @maus-games.at · 13/06/2026

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.

A scene of the colorful shoot 'em up Eigengrau showing the overdraw mode alternative render style, where foreground objects continue being visible outside of the normal game area.

Thanks! Yes, it's the same engine. I'm constantly improving and extending it and even tried to include many of those changes in patches for Eigengrau where possible. The engine is (mostly) open-source and can be found here: github.com/MausGames/co...

Martin Mauersics @maus-games.at · 18/03/2026

Oh, thank you! ❤️ There are better programmers than me, but I'll continue giving my best. 😅

Martin Mauersics @maus-games.at · 18/03/2026

Invested a lot of time in tools recently, but everything is so much faster to create now. I still enjoy rolling with my own game engine, even though it requires a bit more work. 🛠️ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Thank you and good point! I definitely need to tune the timing and make sure it's not too annoying. Biggest concern is the room-to-room transition as it will be the most frequent one, but I think there are still some easy ways to improve it.

Martin Mauersics @maus-games.at · 07/03/2026

Thanks! Hopefully there won't be too many problems later when the rooms contain more stuff. 😅

Martin Mauersics @maus-games.at · 07/03/2026

I think I overdid it a bit with those transitions, but I still really like how they turned out. 🌪️ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

One of the simple improvements was to already update bullets when they spawn based on the current spawn-timer to remove any discontinuities.

Integrated and updated the old bullet-system. Visibility still needs to be improved, but already works quite well. 🚀 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

I don't have a level editor, so I just used GIMP and hot-reloading.
