Screenshot Saturday Mondays: RULES OF NATURE!

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, like many weeks, my head is full ofMetal Gear Rising’s RULES OF NATURE. But unlike most weeks, it feels relevant. This week I saw an indie game where you slow-mo slice weapons and armour off robots in a forest and oh, that’s doubly rules of nature right there. Plenty of other attractive and interesting indie games are about too, come have a look!

Before we get to the Rules Of Nature, let’s considerthe other rules of nature. The lesson to take away from Mohrta is surely toleave livestock, crops and machinery alone:

The Gravestalker will slumber peacefully if left undisturbed, but who could resist that adorable face?#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/VIHIU9nk5G

#Drive Rally(coming to Steam) surely is teaching us totake special care on country roads:

“Bug or feature?” I must ask metroidvaniaMainasutto: I’m Not Alone(coming to Steam). Hmm. With this kind of recklessness, I’ll remind you toguard against all risk of fire:

In The Same Boat (coming to Steam) reminds us there’s work in this play, and so we mustenjoy the countryside and respect its life and work:

Finally started implementing the weather system, so here’s a first sneak peak of what happens when you get caught in the storm 🌩️⛵️#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#indiedevpic.twitter.com/Be2kSzVjQT

I’m not sure this counts ashelp to keep all water clean:

I made a few small material tweaks today, such as adding specular dots to enemy slimes and optimizing colors and shadow contrast.#gamedev#indiedev#indiegame#IndieGameDev#unity3d#madewithunity#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/9urQ3SgQ3S

While I do understand thatRobobeat(coming to Steam) is a rhythm shooter, I will still remind tomake no unnecessary noise:

dynamically adds more slow-motion if you play cool#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/8N1zT76iuI

I do understand that a ‘man overboard’ scenario is quite dire but adventure gameThe M/S Cornelia II Incident(coming to Steam) still needs toprotect wildlife, plants and treesand absolutely should not chop down that tree:

#ScreenshotSaturday! I made a ringtone selection feature. Some familiar melody might help trigger a memory perhaps..🎵#solodev#indiegame#adventuregamepic.twitter.com/p7lk1g4KMY

I’m still not sure what Ryan Corniel’s 3D puppetry (controlled with Index controllers) is for, so I’ll cautiously say tokeep your dogs under close control, or dogmen, or whatevers:

I don’t care if your mech can fly,Nightshift Galaxy, I still think you need touse gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls:

Working on our 3rd playable mech’s flight feel. What do you think?#screenshotsaturday#indiegamedev#mechapic.twitter.com/7y9NWIZsKw

Alwaystake your litter home, Sulfur (coming to Steam):

he was giving me the eyenow he’s giving me his eyes#screenshotsaturday#sulfurgamepic.twitter.com/aErNK5PrVk

I suspect metroidvania Being And Becoming (coming to SteamviaKickstarter) is showing us what happens to a society when you don’tfasten all gates:

Please do not mind to what now slithers and swims through here. It is such a tragedy to see such a beautiful dream fall to ruin like this…#metroidvania#pixelart#animation#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#ドット絵#像素艺术#픽셀아트pic.twitter.com/bGLx6nCDcN

I’m not entirely sure what makes this a horror game and I’m not sure I want to find out, so let’s consider it a reminder tokeep to public paths across farmland:

Lastly, never forget the most important rule of nature:Yes! Yes! Split it wide open!

I am making a game by myself where I slash enemies into pieces and kick them away! Please support me!#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#indiedev#indiegame#unitypic.twitter.com/LL0S7XejWF
