Eigengrau was released a year ago and now most of its code and design-documents are public and open-source. 🎂 Feel free to take a look if you are interested in any of the systems or gimmicks. 🐬 github.com/MausGames/pr... #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #opensource #EigengrauGame

Bioware's Neverwinter Nights was the main reason I started programming and why I wanted to become a game developer, one of the most important games of my life. I'm crying right now.

Also still working a lot on my game engine, especially for the new project(s). Yesterday I had fun porting the engine and Eigengrau to Linux ARM (Raspberry Pi, Steam Frame). Went really well, most of the work was just setting up the tools and build scripts. 🐧 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #linux

NEW TRAILER!! Crescent Break, a chaotic and action-packed roguelike, is coming out OCT 1st! full of destructible environments, ridiculous chain reactions, and fun weapons and upgrades. made by 2 weirdos with love and care <3 store.steampowered.com/app/4297720/... #trailertuesday #gamedev #indiedev

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. 🪿

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

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

I had some problems adding treasure chest animations, so I just got rid of them. 💥 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
