Admiring more interesting upcoming indies
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 surreal RPG, a squirrel with a gun, a typical tentacle horror, handcrafted spaceships, and plenty more interesting indies.
Just some regular keyboard-mashing in Tentacle Typer, a “Lovecraftian text editor RPG experience” (coming to Steam):
I wondered what it would be like if every letter you typed blasted the nearest thing after you so here I am checking.It’s a lot more fun than I expected.#screenshotsaturday|#unity3d|#gamedevelopmentpic.twitter.com/L0WD4D3Z4L
A fun crafting idea in VR co-op zombie survival game Requisition (coming to Steam):

It’s been two years since we last posted about surreal RPGShe Dreams Elsewhere(coming to Steam) and I’m delighted to see its cool battle art again:

I like the colours of Extra Coin (coming to Steam), an adventure game set inside a social network metaverse cyberspace doodad:
Perfect meals 🍔#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/OISj1SIhYh
I thought I was over wacky animal games years ago but Squirrel With A Gun (coming to Steam) does make me laugh:
Squirrel commits an adorable 😊😘 robbery 🔫🐿#indiedev#gamedev#UE5#UnrealEngine5#indiegame#blender3d#blender#b3d#indiegamedev#screenshotsaturday#wishlistwednesdaypic.twitter.com/FGCaV1gKUE
A bad name but a good-looking approach to inventory stacks from Gacha Garden (coming to Steam), a game about collecting and arranging objects in a pretty garden:
An important lesson from “cozy care game” Kamaeru:

My eyes are too old to follow the action of shmup Dot Bullet (early version available on Itch) but they still appreciate the colours and shapes:

Spore-style shenanigans from evolutionary survival game Adapt (coming to Steam, with a demo up now):

I don’t think this even has a name but I like the look, and the thread shows more of it in action:
#indiedev#madewithunityBeen working on my little gem character here in-between game jams and travel. Here are some updates for#screenshotsaturdayincluding dashing, teleportation, UI additions, and a very early AI controller (with placeholder visuals!). More below.Dashing:pic.twitter.com/bhu1rGMiLN
I appreciate handcrafted art like this from Just Act Natural (out now free-to-play on Steam), a multiplayer party game about trying to hide by blending in with NPCs:
