some scribbles for a key art I‘d need for my Steam page. But sadly I think they‘re too static (and you don’t see a characters face, which is always a plus)

and last but not least: 🔄Spin Dungeon🎲

explore and control a not-rubiks cube, while fighting monsters and solving puzzles! Very unique, and based on a prototype by the one and only @obviousdev.bsky.social :D

doodling on an idea for a key art for my game :) want to have something that gets the energy across

this single scene was the main inspiration for the maniac driving in my game 🙏🙏10/10 can recommend Cagliostro

you can play my Master Thesis game "Heart Drive" at my university's yearly exhibition here in Hamburg! ("Rundgang", HAW Hamburg, in the GamesLab) 🎉

-> it's about a group of friends catching giant mechanical fish from the roof of their car, while searching for an ancient machine ghost 🚗🎣 #gamedev

after all this time, stumbled upon the RIVETING example from the Skyrim Book Report!
had @briamgilbert.bsky.social voice in my mind reading this paragraph

small update on the code, now also uses the function, making it a tidbit cleaner
float get_depth(sampler2D sampler, vec2 UVs, float vertex_z) { float depth_r = texture(sampler, UVs).r; float depth_blend = exp((depth_r + vertex_z + depth_offset) * -1.0); return depth_blend; } void fragment() { float one_pixel_x = 1.0 / (screen_pixel_size.x * screen_pixel_size_multiply); float one_pixel_y = 1.0 / (screen_pixel_size.y * screen_pixel_size_multiply); vec2 thickness = vec2(one_pixel_x, one_pixel_y) * outline_thickness; float depth_center = get_depth(DEPTH_TEXTURE, SCREEN_UV, VERTEX.z); float depth_off_up = get_depth(DEPTH_TEXTURE, SCREEN_UV + vec2(0.0, -thickness.y), VERTEX.z); float depth_off_up_left = get_depth(DEPTH_TEXTURE, SCREEN_UV + vec2(-thickness.x, -thickness.y), VERTEX.z); float depth_off_up_right = get_depth(DEPTH_TEXTURE, SCREEN_UV + vec2(thickness.x, -thickness.y), VERTEX.z); //float depth_off_left = get_depth(DEPTH_TEXTURE, SCREEN_UV + vec2(-thickness.x, 0.0), VERTEX.z); //float depth_off_right = get_depth(DEPTH_TEXTURE, SCREEN_UV + vec2(thickness.x, 0.0), VERTEX.z); float outline_up = clamp(depth_off_up - depth_center, 0.0, 1.0); float outline_up_left = clamp(depth_off_up_left - depth_center, 0.0, 1.0); float outline_up_right = clamp(depth_off_up_right - depth_center, 0.0, 1.0); //float outline_left = clamp(depth_off_left - depth_center, 0.0, 1.0); //float outline_right = clamp(depth_off_right - depth_center, 0.0, 1.0); float outline_final = clamp(outline_up + outline_up_left + outline_up_right, 0.0, 1.0); //float outline_final = clamp(outline_up + outline_left + outline_right, 0.0, 1.0); outline_final = smoothstep(smoothstep_range.x, smoothstep_range.y, outline_final); if (debug){ ALBEDO = vec3(outline_final); ALPHA = 1.0; } else { ALBEDO = color.xyz; ALPHA = outline_final * color.w;
