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, my eye has been caught by a shrimp breeding game, some lovely places to explore, some bleak places to explore, and a plasma rifle with a surprising number of functions.
A perfect existence in slice-of-life game The Garden Path (coming to Steam):

A veritable Swiss Army plasma gun inSelaco(coming to Steam, with a demo available now), an FPS with traces of immersive sims being made, impressively, in the Doom-based GZDoom engine:
🚨New weapon alert! 🚨Meet the Plasma Rifle! By far our most complex weapon yet.- Turn enemies into gibs.- Overcharge environmental hazards to change or amplify their effects.- Pick up any object in the game world and turn it into a weapon.🧵#gzdoom#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/cGwCDVxGtx
I don’t know what Precursor is, but I fully believe one of the main reasons to have a fancy modern gaming PC is rendering unnecessarily cool clouds:
Well, except performance cost being insane, it has some potential…#Precursor#Gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/e8Ure7HKl0
I do want to be the boss in V.A Proxy (coming to Steam), a metroidvania which namechecksNieras an action inspiration:

Certainly a look from The Hungry Fly (coming to Steam), a game about “a fly on a mission to eat a mysterious rotten creature living in a bath”:

An excessive but interesting experiment in ways to stop your character getting hidden by scenery inAutomation Station(coming to Steam):
Experimenting with ways to prevent trees from obstructing the character. This is kinda cool, but a bit much.#screenshotsaturday#madewithunity#indiedevpic.twitter.com/biuTG9Ygkc
Hot stunts in the yet-untitled plane game from Fat Alien Games, who mentionA Short Hikeand Castle In The Sky as inspirations:
