Come admire these 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 return to oggle cars on alien worlds and cars in big fights, even more immersive sims, and a game described uncertainly as perhaps “Sekiro with a gun?” or “Killer7souls?” Check out these attractive and interesting indie games!
This city would have blown my mind if it had appeared in the 90s real-time strategy games which inspiredD.O.R.F.(coming to Steam):
Wow, the big city!#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/Z5q5QliibU
While these cities in city-building survival game Synergy (coming to Steam) are more of the 70s, viaMoebius:

Whistling is an extremely good way for guards to bark their presence in an immersive sim likeSpectra:
for#screenshotsaturdayi implemented my first patrolling guards, complete with whistling and grumbling complaints about how they just wish something would happen. bonus points if you recognize the whistle#gamedev#indiedev#indiegame#imsim#immersivesimpic.twitter.com/zdwtF4aWiR
Elsewhere on the immersive sim spectrum, “immersive horror FPS"Athanasia(coming to Steam) seems more System Shock 2-ish to me:
Nope!#screenshotsaturday#indiegamepic.twitter.com/dHaHgqGNol
And can’t you feel immersive sim ancestry in this shocking little kick from retro-futurustic western shooter ExeKiller?
In times of danger, everything becomes a weapon… Just stay vigilant! 🔥#ScreenshotSaturday#Exekiller#Gaming#UnrealEngine#UE5pic.twitter.com/9tMNej6rY8
Oh, but the destructive physics on THIS violence from Epic Hero Game (coming to Steam):
Hi#screenshotsaturdayPhysics based combat improvements.Nice to have a solid foundation to work with.Stay tuned for more physics crazyness in the near future!!! 😃#madewithunity#indiedev#gamedev#unity3d#gamephysics#IndieGameDevpic.twitter.com/iJ5ZNYteiE
Physics are far more constructive in Turnip Mountain (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
🪢 More ropes! 🪢Ropes can now attach to other ropes, as well as other objects in the scene! 🏹#gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#GameMakerpic.twitter.com/HozdtYqE4F
The demo for Samurai Unicorn (coming to Steam) is currently onlyfor Patreon subscribers, but I can certainly enjoy looking at this for free:
This in Megacopter: Blades Of The Goddess (coming to Steam) looks like Desert Strike with a dash of… Galshell? Oh, I’ve just read that the helicopter is sentient and “gains power by feeding on the blood of its enemies”, how lovely:

Interstellar racing in Exo Rally Championship (coming to Steam), the unexpectedly sporty follow-up to exoplanetary explorer Exo One:
Exo Rally Championship, the final frontier of racing.#screenshotsaturday🏎️🪐pic.twitter.com/NPN3DyVwv4
Meanwhile, back on Earth, cars are throwing down in Chaos On Wheels (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

A real kick of speed comes in PS2-style platformer Project: Longtail (a working title, perhaps?):
I do have to say this is my favorite mechanic of the recent additions to Longtail 👀 This will allow for pretty cool movement!#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#indiedev#indiegames#gamer#UnrealEngine#3dplatformerpic.twitter.com/gMd5fUAXZ7
I really like how this feels like 90s FPS elements mixed with perhaps a little visual flair from 90s FMV games:
So, now there’s some new weapons behaviors done. Bullets and impacts still as placeholders, but hey, now the HUD works properly :D#gamedev#indiedev#boomershooter#FPS#gamedevelopment#GodotEngine#Godot4#screenshotsaturday#retrogamepic.twitter.com/tohyAHFLtL
And whatever it ends up being, I’m really enjoying the look of this from the developer behind Godbeast Mk.II:
not quite sure where i’m going with this one.sekiro with a gun? killer7 souls?late#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/z0sy1KFyDs
