Admiring more 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 I have more games than usual to share because dang, so many things looked cool. Come admire!
An extremely cool scene from a (yet-unnamed?) game the creator describes as a “visual novel” with “a mix of these dioramas and free exploration segments”:

Just some great violence:

I think this is from adventure game Birth (coming to Steam), whichour Ed enjoyedwhen he played it at Not-E3. Either way, it’s cool and horrible and cool:

Some nice cities fromBulwark, a build-o-strategy game from the creator of The Falconeer:

Nice circuitry puzzling in adventure game Mauvaises Herbes:
Hi everyone, some quick news about the puzzle gameplay! 🛠️There are now 4 components to help you tweak the electrical signal, modifying its 𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 (resistance or capacitor), 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 (inductor) & 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 (transistor)⚡️#screenshotsaturday#indiedevpic.twitter.com/0HQ6F5jdvd
I don’t really know what I’m looking at in this screenshot from “interplanetary action RPG"Batora: Lost Haven(coming to Steam), which is a good feeling:
We wanted to instil a sense of awe and wonder when players step into Batora: Lost Haven! Mahdzam is a truly unique environment which we hope you’ll all enjoy exploring when the time comes 🙏Wishlist Batora: Lost Haven now!https://t.co/TI8KcwJ4lw#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/n37vNt9lTm
Loud shoot-o-platforming from Gun Devil (coming to Steam):

Not quite sure what’s happening here in Dynopunk (coming to Steam), a visual novel set in a world where dinosaurs never went extinct, but it’s neat:

A cute look to 4X strategy game Flatlings:
City screens now show the time to complete a production, and expansions can be further away from the city centre as long as they are still connected to it. That builder unit is gonna get some wet feet, though. 😅#Flatlings#screenshotsaturday#indiegamedev#gamedevpic.twitter.com/urTAGjvRn0
After Ghostwire: Tokyo, I am very into glowing wire violence, like this in mythological action RPG Asterigos: Curse Of The Stars (coming to Steam):
I can pull the mobs… literally! 🏋️♀️#Asterigos#indiedev#indiegame#Steam#PS5#Xbox#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/nnrneVAqOo
I really like this prismatic, crystaline, foresty thing in metroidvania Doomblade (coming to Steam):
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction#Metroidvania#ScreenshotSaturday#DOOMBLADE#Unity2D#MadeWithUnitypic.twitter.com/xwiVoyD4O3
And to close, a yet-unnamed gentle sky adventure:
We’ve been working on a new game idea! Build up your plane and soar through the clouds in an adventure game with loose inspiration from ‘A Short Hike’, ‘Castle in the Sky’, and the adventures of Amelia Earhart. What do you think?#screenshotsaturday#gamedevpic.twitter.com/gVVsohSIib
What else caught your eye this weekend, reader dear?
