Every weekend, indie devs show off their current work on Twitter’s #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by retro-inspired stylings everywhere from JRPGs to platformers, and a demonstration slicing a cat Revengeance-style (do not worry, the cat is fine, it’s not a real cat, it isn’t even meant to be a fake cat, it really is fine). Come admire these interesting and attractive indies!
A staggering stack of guns in roguelike shooter Vampire Hunters (coming to Steam):
To hunt vampires, you’ll need guns. Lots of guns. Mow down vampires, demons, and more by stacking your guns into absurd, impossibly awesome builds.#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #FPS #Steam #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #Gameplay #retrogame #Game #roguelike pic.twitter.com/74y3YYtOlB

A tricky shot in Sniper Killer (coming to Steam), a game where you play both a sniper on a rampage and the detective hunting them:
WIP work on the carnival level for Sniper Killer! We’re giving the player multiple options on where to take ‘the shot’ from. Some intentionally being more difficult than others. Would you have the skill to take out your target while riding the rollercoaster?#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/0LDw0H46Cw

A good book slam in monster-hunting horror shooter The Axis Unseen (coming to Steam):
Spent some time this week polishing up the journal in The Axis Unseen.
Who likes reading books with snappy polish? I think slamming this book shut is pretty satisfying!
It also lowers when you walk, closes if you jump, etc. Hope you like it!#screenshotsaturday #indiedev pic.twitter.com/t6JwnwI70c

Likewise, I don’t know what this is but I adore those wibbly hands (and am always happy to be reminded of Bernband) and that whole look:

Going to ramming speed above the clouds of Jupiter in roguelike dogfighter Nova Squadron (coming to Steamwith an early demo there now):
I’ve fixed a few bugs involving platforms and ramming logic, and combined with the new ram damage R&D upgrades, this means you can destroy an enemy base…without bullets! (They do still help though)#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/kCalTV3J9t

A Gothic Ferris wheel in The Silent Swan (coming to Steam), a ‘Dear Esther meets Amnesia’ kinda open-world game set in a vast empty city, which kept me curious when I played the Next Fest demo:
Happy #ScreenshotSaturday!

And retro-styled survival horror in Ground Zero:
A fight in the streets outside the arcade.
A quick look at the counter system and the DNA scanning “Genome Points” system. These points are higher for a cleaner kill and are traded for upgrades.#indiedev #screenshotsaturday #indegames #SurvivalHorror #HorrorGames pic.twitter.com/7PnJMp7JL8

Playful exploration in Wilderless (currently in early access on Steam):
Rollerball Dash | Wilderless 1.8 Preview
I’m integrating the dash button into the mounts. With a rollerball dash mechanism in place, the mech will have the ability to glide seamlessly across sprawling landscapes.#solodev #openworld #procgen #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/TGRGCLi6nC

We end with the traditional visit to Kitty Corner, where- oh no.
Played around with sprite splicing this week. Turned out to be a bit more difficult than I thought it would be, since Sprite Renderers don’t seem to support this type of modification, but I got some sufficient results.#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/MUALtFnqJ6
