Admiring more interesting indies
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. NotE3 was in full swing this weekend but wasn’t the only gawp-o-rama around, with Screenshot Saturday still giving looks at birds, a gothDeus Ex, and a vision of an open-worldSonic the Hedgehogchillout.
Probably the best response toSega’s open-world Sonic Frontiersis Breogan Hackett whipping up an experiment in an open-world Sonic game:

The prettifying process inSolar Ash(with a few more screenshere):
Here’s a few images from my time on Solar Ash. The top images were the greyboxes I was given by our talented designers, and the bottom images are the after I got my grubby mitts on it.#gamedev#screenshotsaturday#UE4pic.twitter.com/GwPjagkudb

This yet-unnamed immersive sim’s flip-phone goth Deus Ex vibe is ridiculous, and the rocketing cans are great:

Honestly the correct response to walking into a room full of geese inA Space For The Unbound:
When life gives you lemons, just accept them. Unless you want swans instead 🦢🦢🦢#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/Ywyxi4Q2oi
A spot of grappling hook rooftop futurecity violence:
Testing out the new environments with some gameplay. Feels nice😊#gamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/41BkcYsX2l
I do like games having fun movement tricks you can pull to liven up cutting about town, like in Nanokin:
It’s another sunny day at Freeport. The ocean, the rides, the lighthouse, it’s all comin’ together as one helluva place to be!#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#indiegamepic.twitter.com/bXisaiFmKG
“How lovely!” I thought, so distracted by Spirit Mancer’s background that I missed all the guns and explosions:
I need to talk with that ship pirately.#screenshotsaturday#madewithunity#indiegames#indiedevpic.twitter.com/6aFDr2FwSW
And some cute new art for farming game/van adventure Lonefarm:
Doing some tests with the visual aspect of Lonefarm, I tried to go from lowpoly to something more stylized. What do you think?#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#IndieGameDev#indiegamepic.twitter.com/5jnB4gVfk0
