Admire these interesting and attractive 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-inspired stylings everywhere from JRPGs to platformers, and a demonstration slicing a cat Revengeance-style (do not worry, the cat is fine, it’s not a real cat, it isn’t even meant to be a fake cat, it really is fine). Come admire these interesting and attractive indies!
A staggering stack of guns in roguelikelike shooter Vampire Hunters (coming to Steam):
To hunt vampires, you’ll need guns. Lots of guns. Mow down vampires, demons, and more by stacking your guns into absurd, impossibly awesome builds.#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#indiedev#FPS#Steam#gamedev#gamedevelopment#indiegame#Gameplay#retrogame#Game#roguelikepic.twitter.com/74y3YYtOlB
A tricky shot inSniper Killer(coming to Steam), a game where you play both a sniper on a rampage and the detective hunting them:
WIP work on the carnival level for Sniper Killer! We’re giving the player multiple options on where to take ‘the shot’ from. Some intentionally being more difficult than others. Would you have the skill to take out your target while riding the rollercoaster?#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/0LDw0H46Cw
A good book slam in monster-hunting horror shooterThe Axis Unseen(coming to Steam):
Spent some time this week polishing up the journal in The Axis Unseen.Who likes reading books with snappy polish? I think slamming this book shut is pretty satisfying!It also lowers when you walk, closes if you jump, etc. Hope you like it!#screenshotsaturday#indiedevpic.twitter.com/t6JwnwI70c
An awful lot going on in “multiplayer skate shooter” TrickShot (coming to Steam):
Need to reload ammo? Do an air trick!More Health? Do a grind trick!Shields? Do a ground trick!If you want to stay alive in our game - you better do some skate tricks.🛹#indiedev#indiegame#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/wkAV8OJHCW
Really into this hallway from a yet-unnamed (I think?) game:

Likewise, I don’t know what this is but I adore those wibbly hands (and am always happy to be reminded ofBernband) and that whole look:
On the road to the store !!#screenshotsaturday#gamedevpic.twitter.com/38qmRTfqVJ
Going to ramming speed above the clouds of Jupiter in roguelikelike dogfighterNova Squadron(coming to Steam, with an early demo there now):
I’ve fixed a few bugs involving platforms and ramming logic, and combined with the new ram damage R&D upgrades, this means you can destroy an enemy base…without bullets! (They do still help though)#gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/kCalTV3J9t
A cool intermission screen in roguelikelike brick-breaking shmupAgainst Great Darkness(coming to Steam):
#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#pixelartAdded in some more animations to the map that is displayed between levels.pic.twitter.com/OvXopHuR4g
A Gothic Ferris wheel in The Silent Swan (coming to Steam), a ‘Dear Esther meets Amnesia’ kinda open-world game set in a vast empty city, whichkept me curious when I played the Next Fest demo:

More prettiness here from diorama builder Islands & Trains (coming to Steam, with an early demo there now):
A quick test of adding some bright cliffs to Islands&Trains 👀#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/gUEUeUy6Mr
A striking background in platformer Project Zi:
I made a new background for my game. In the game, this works as a parallax background.#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#gameart#gamedev#indiedev#gaming#IndieGameDev#pixelartpic.twitter.com/Yp3cBghgm1
Neat retro stylings in platformer Rog & Roll (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

And retro-styled survival horror in Ground Zero:
A fight in the streets outside the arcade.A quick look at the counter system and the DNA scanning “Genome Points” system. These points are higher for a cleaner kill and are traded for upgrades.#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#indegames#SurvivalHorror#HorrorGamespic.twitter.com/7PnJMp7JL8
Plus retro-styled JRPG violence from Forge Of The Fae (coming to Steam):
Hi everyone, it’s#screenshotsaturday❣️Today’s lesson: Don’t mess with a lady who owns a giant mechanical gauntlet. 👊😵#pixelart#gamedev#indiedev🔥#ForgeOfTheFaewithlist~ 🔥https://t.co/MoJI2173Nvpic.twitter.com/cciYiIRGGQ
Playful exploration in Wilderless (currently in early access on Steam):
Rollerball Dash | Wilderless 1.8 PreviewI’m integrating the dash button into the mounts. With a rollerball dash mechanism in place, the mech will have the ability to glide seamlessly across sprawling landscapes.#solodev#openworld#procgen#indiegamedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/TGRGCLi6nC
We end with the traditional visit to Kitty Corner, where- oh no.
Played around with sprite splicing this week. Turned out to be a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, since Sprite Renderers don’t seem support this type of modification, but I got some sufficient results.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/MUALtFnqJ6
