I go on Twitter so you don’t have to
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. This week, my eye has been caught by handcrafted art, intense fighting game violence, cosy management, and heaps more attractive and interesting indie games. Check these out!
While I didn’t dig the first game in the Pixel Pulp series, I have always like their look andChristian Donlan’s review of Bahnsen Knightsdoes have me thinking I’ll try out the next one, which is apparently off to Alaska:
What we’ve revealed so far about our new Pixel Pulp:1⃣ It’s a slasher!2⃣ Alaska!#screenshotsaturday#pixelartpic.twitter.com/0r8NGSzva9
A great look to puzzling visual novelYour House(coming to Steam):
“As she speeds along on her motorcycle, the wind dances through her hair, whispering tales of freedom and making her feel alive against the vast canvas of the road”#Screenshotsaturday#Puzzlegame#gamedevpic.twitter.com/1ls6UWx5Vl
Perfectly normal scenes inObject Ward(coming to Steam), “a visual novel about the various misadventures of a man who sees everyone with an inanimate object for a head”:
What an irredeemable monster… 😱Can YOU handle Priscilla?#Screenshotsaturday#visualnovel#indiegamepic.twitter.com/AW3mMbMDW5
A cute look toPaper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open(coming to Steam, with a demo there now), a Malaysian dev’s coming-of-age story starring a young girl who can see spirits:
🥺☝️Uncle, nak paddle pop satu (Uncle, one paddle pop please)Which ice cream was your go to from the ice cream motor? 🔔🎶🍦#madeinmalaysia#indiegame#nostalgic#gameart#steam#UnrealEngine#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/TVASvrfcMO
Dojo Masters(coming to Steam) continues to look mighty intense for a fighting game with two-button controls:
There are now only 6 major features left to add to Dojo Masters🎉We’re almost in the home stretch!#screenshotsaturday#FGC#indiegame#DojoMasterspic.twitter.com/5dX62QbS3d
Exploring planets and gathering materials inMiro(coming to Steam) sounds a bit like a low-fi, focused No Man’s Sky, maybe, sorta, ish:
A couple acreenshots for MIRO, work in progress with@trevix.You can wishlist on@Steam#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/rsLrSqTgdN
I’m not quite sure what’s happening in Ocean Mirror (coming to Steam) but I like the look and am always interested in a game leaning harder into its core idea:
That’s what we are doing for#oceanmirror. Currently rejiggering both art style and game design to be laser focused on the flip mechanic. Somewhat ugly duckling phase for both tho XD#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/PeaSjcYjkS
Ooh I like the idea of entering a spooky layer of reality shaped by the map you’re drawing in Engraving (coming to Steam):
Last week I added the “Other side” - The player can dive into that nether and uses the drawn map as a navigation there. But you should stay in the area you drawn… 💀Link to the Steam Page in the comment, wishlists would rock!🤩#GodotEngine#horrorgame#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/AlMpUbF5gq
Cor:
“My morning prayers are hollow and unenthusiastic, words like a congregation around a cross with no Christ.” Music by@horgrunt#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#indiedevpic.twitter.com/1dnVTpiS1v
I like this handmade look:
A loooot to do still but here’s where I’m at right now#screenshotsaturday#MadeWithGodot#gamedevpic.twitter.com/jtVAGhTdF0
A neat style to this mysterious yet-unnamed game:
It’s#screenshotsaturdayagain and here I am uploading from the first zone in my game again cause the last one i did in portrait mode. 🙃#pixelart#jrpg#gamedevproblemspic.twitter.com/jZ8VBo2H8Q
Just some fella in retro RPG Skald: Against the Black Priory (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
Iä! Iä! Behold the Herald! THE DRAGON IS AWAKENING!#ScreenshotSaturdayfor “#Skald: Against the Black” Priory a retro RPG coming soon! Link to demo below!#PixelArt#GameDevpic.twitter.com/6YZZRNCsYc
Microscopic RTS Empires Of The Undergrowth (in early access on Steam) is one of those games to make me think “I hope Nate knows about this”:
The queen of the largest termite species, Macrotermes bellicosus, is rendered immobile by her girth.She lays eggs almost constantly, with her mate by her side.Meet her in the upcoming final chapter of Empires of the Undergrowth!#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#MadeWithUnrealpic.twitter.com/VKvTMSeK0M
Gentle vibes to single-street management game Minami Lane (coming to Steam):
