Admiring upcoming indie games
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 retro-styled adventure games and city-builders, phenomenally cool fishing rod violence, and some sort of horrible sentient milk glands. Check out all these attractive and interesting indie games!
A striking scene in adventure game When You’re Not Around:
#screenshotsaturdaygameplay from my point-and-click game When You’re Not AroundTalking about it in my first devlog here:https://t.co/FucNoEUcZxNew Devlog out next week!#gamedev#pixelart#indiedev#indiegame#pointandclickpic.twitter.com/v4XGXT2uo4
A look at the building of a more retro-styled adventure game,The Crimson Diamond(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
Happy#screenshotsaturday! The Crimson Diamond is a mystery adventure game set in Ontario, Canada! Get to know the other guests at Crimson lodge, listen in on their conversations, and look for diamonds! Demo on Steam - Please wishlist! ✨https://t.co/F8z0Ggwsyq#indiegamepic.twitter.com/pvvPwKeSY4
More retro stylings come from city-building simMetropolis 1998(coming to Steam):
#screenshotsaturdayHi SSS, I’m working on Metropolis 1998, an upcoming city builder game.Currently I’m working on making multi-story building creation fun and easy for the players, as well as updating my 2D game to act like it’s 3D 😓pic.twitter.com/XA6LOfdwh3
Technically this isn’t tagged as part of Screenshot Saturday but it was posted on Saturday and surely you wouldn’t want me to skip posting something this cool:
Hot take i think modernizing tank controls is gonna be a sick game+Re4 asmr inspired reload even though its a fishing rodpic.twitter.com/8uBe43LPtj
Climbing walls always feels slightly magical in games, especially if for crime purposes, like in Heist Raccoon:

The end result is nice in hand-painted puzzle-platformer Unleaving (coming to Steam) but cor, I do prefer the texture of that full original painting:
On this#ScreenshotSaturday, we bring you a dual perspective. Scene Screenshot: Discover a serene landscape with a twist—the subtle imperfection in the background stitching adds authenticity to our game world. Behind the Scenes: Explore the artistic process!#IndieGamepic.twitter.com/7jBD9CGUp1
I wonder if these are the hands drawing the hand-drawn violence of shmupZOE Begone!(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
Finger Boss Fight 👇👇👇#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/X7BjYwswk8
A cool space scene for Ark Of The Kosmoz (coming to Itch, with an alpha demo there now), a “2D Survival-Roguelike that [tries] to mashup with auto battler and some RTS element”:
Somewhat draft/WIP cover art for the game.#screenshotsaturday#pixelart#gamedev#indiedevpic.twitter.com/vfPZa0dEqO
A magical encounter for our wolf inLost In Winter(coming to Steam):

What a lovely garden (and gardener) in (coming to Steam):
Autumn came so quickly! 🧡But that also means it’s finally pumpkin time again🎃#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#cozygames#IndieGameDevpic.twitter.com/zjP0cSbg5o
The great “Thief with guns” immersive simGloomwood(in early access on Steam) knows that parrying projectiles is cool, and even cooler if done using another projectile:
We’re not in Realms Deep today (keep your eyes peeled for spooky season!), but I do have something to show: you can now shoot axes and hatchets out of the air!The doctor has been learning his own tricks.#gloomwood#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/IhLIDjulZh
Excitable ducks in adventure game/beat ‘em up Pho King My Life (coming to Steam):
Why is there a pho king vending machine in the middle of the forest? Why are the ducks excited for it? All questions I don’t have answers for.#screenshotsaturday#GodotEngine#gamedev#indiedevpic.twitter.com/NmWOKCZiPU
Diorama-building sandbox Islands & Trains (coming to Steam) remains a cutie:
Cozy choo choo train 🚂🥰#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/ELs9qptvSy
And I might regret posting this from 2% Milk, “a visual novel card game about biting the Magic Hands that milk you”, but it presently appears to elicit a good kind of horror, maybe:
We are Goopy Games! We are making a visual novel about milking livestock 🥛#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#indiegame#visualnovelpic.twitter.com/sH5rnb8ygb
What else caught your eye this weekend, reader dear?
