Looking at 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, we have cute trainline-building, ghost violence, surreal things both intentional and unintentional, and a cyberpunk New York City.
I like theTownscaper-style block-plopping of diorama-building gameIslands & Trains(comingto Steam):
Building a tiny little island with a tiny little (new) trainstation & some happy little (new birch) trees and bushes that Bob Ross would hopefully be proud of☺️#screenshotsaturday#lowpoly#gamedev#indiedev#WIP#game#madewithunityhttps://t.co/KTPC7AwK3Tpic.twitter.com/6O00WZciN6
Smooth animation in the opening cutscene to adventure game-y puzzle-platformer Long Gone (comingto Steam):
Block-in is done. Just need to detail it and clean it up. Feeling pretty good about it though, I was nervous about getting this one done because of its complexity.#screenshotsaturday#IndieGameDev#Running#LongGoneGame#GameDev#solodev#animation#indieDev#PixelArt#Unitypic.twitter.com/9e4rrD4kz6
Stylish stuff from twin-stick shooter Haunti (currentlyon Kickstarter):
Hi#screenshotsaturdaythese are gameplay clips from my game about ghosts, Hauntii.https://t.co/OYIN8P3jNmThis is a twin-stick shooter adventure where you can ‘haunt’ and control enemies, creatures, statues, and more!#indiedev#indiegames#gamedev#Kickstarterpic.twitter.com/bvw18Lphow
A colourful cyberpunk New York City and some Vangelis vibes in a mysterious new run ‘n’ gun game from the folks who made Steel Assault:

Neural Nest has a cool concept:
NEURAL NEST is a surreal movement shooter set in concrete catacombs, inspired by the works of Tsutomu Nihei. You play as a machine learning-generated creature trying to prove themselves.Demo coming soon…#gamedev#madewithunity#indiedev#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/nr2dEhPbQ8
Some great wallpaper and topsy-turvy exploration in a puzzle game tentatively titled The Office (yeah I don’t see that name surviving):

I like the top-down rain effect in open-world RPG Deadwind (which has a “very old” demoon Itch):
The citizens of Myrefell keep vanishing in the night…#gamedev#indiedev#gamemaker#roguelike#indiegames#rpg#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/V8C6fwws0v
A weeTeam Fortress 2fan joke in Red: Shadow Maggots (comingto Itch), a… TF2 fangame in the style of Raid: Shadow Legends?
Here’s a look at the new Potted Plant enemy in RED: Shadow Maggots!There weren’t a lot of unique enemies in the upcoming demo, so we plan to add more Eltorro64-inspired gag characters to fill the roster!#gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#tf2pic.twitter.com/FNvpGznWM5
A clever girl in survival horror game Primal Omen (comingto Steam):

Roguelikelike platformerAnts Took My Eyeball(comingto Steam)makes murk look good:

And honestly, I am here for this happy little accident in cute critter game Sunfluffs:
I was just trying to optimize some graphics code, how did I end up with this?! 😱#screenshotsaturday#bugpic.twitter.com/4XCuag8w2I
