Admiring more interesting 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 automotive horror, great goop technology, flirting with Hercule Poirot, and the most beautiful little cat.

I feel it’s been an eternity since I last sawBeware, the horror game about horrible car chases through dark countryside and villages.

A big fan of this simulation-shattering glitching in Yuha’s Nightmares (coming to Steam).

Sometimes I have strange dreams. To figure out if it’s a nightmare, I try to look at the floor.I can never look at the floor.#screenshotsaturday#IndieGameDev#glitch#indiegamespic.twitter.com/xwdl0WU9Iu

I am delighted thatHyper Demon(the surprise sequel to Devil Daggers) is already inspiring admirers.

⚠Flashing Lights Warning⚠️So I’ve really enjoyed HyperDemon the last couple of days and have wanted to do my own spin on the concept for a long time anyway so here is like 5 days of progress.#screenshotsaturday#gamedev🔊Sound On🔊pic.twitter.com/5Bln71Na4x

Exciting goo physics comparison from a yet-unnamed “2D physics sandbox game with survival/RPG elements”.

The corotated approach to viscosity presents nice buckling for extreme viscosities, as opposed to the old (non-corotated) approach.#gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/UzzykZofYk

Yes, this is the sort of ridiculous projectile I want from a giant unholy revolver in the wild west underworld of Rose And Locket (coming to Steam).

I appreciate the attention to scaffolding in 1970s alt-history immersive simSpectra.

Been working on a fun scaffolding-style neon sign this afternoon- just barely missed#screenshotsaturday!#indiegame#indiedev#gamedev#unrealengine#imsimpic.twitter.com/MHPoCaa1EX

Hercule Poirot: The First Cases (out now on Steam) may have launched a year ago, but I cannot resist this cheeky behind-the-scenes footage the devs have found.

A striking cutscene from adventure game Age Of The Witch.

Working on a cutscene using our weapon of choice,@aseprite! We used a photo of little ol' me (@selenemorrow) next to some bushes as reference. The castle and the water required more imagination!#ScreenshotSaturday#pixelart#ドット絵#indiegamedev#gamedev#indiedev#asepritepic.twitter.com/1iKSV2d9zy

How fortunate that Screenshot Saturday overlaps with Caturday, treating us to behind-the-scenes dev footage of cuties like this helper on zippy FPS Overgun.
