After 3 years of hard&fun work "Halls of Torment" will be released on XBOX and PS5 today. Creating the prerendered 2D oldschool look was certainly something different but it was a lot of fun to 'put' the the retro vibe into every single pixel. #godotengine #blender3d

The 'Halls of Torment' outro cinematic. I was responsible for shading, lighting, rendering and compositing of the scenes and I tried to emulate the old 90's video game cinematic aesthetics like dithering, oldschool lensflares and saturated colors. Hope you like it! #blender3d

Ten years ago I started to work on a private game prototype but never finished due to lack of time . The main idea was a black&white horror multiplayer game with two players cooperatively roaming "The House", solving puzzles, communicate but never meet each other ingame. #gamedev #unrealengine

Textures, particles & shaders I made some years ago for 'GoodCompany'. I still love the mood and the look of the different seasons. #gamedev

I'm still excited to have this version of Monkey Island 2 in such a good condition! #RETROGAMING #MonkeyIsland #spoof

At the moment this is just a little visual experiment but something tells me there's some interesting gameplay hiding behind those corridors... #UE5 #screenshotsaturday

I made this shader / asset for our game 'GoodCompany'. It's nearly a completely procedural shader with just one texture for the circles in the middle of the pond. Hope you like it! #gamedev #indiegamedev

I created this 3D-rendering back in 2010 as a hommage to the good old days of DOSgaming. Modeled/rendered with 3dsmax and Vray. Hope you like it! #3dsmax #retrogaming #CGI #DOSGaming 'Back in 1991'
