Screenshot Saturday Mondays: Vehicular violence, gentle journeys, and an impossible cat
Every weekend, indie devs show off 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 car combat, some pretty walks, a physics-defying cat, a squishy mech, and so much more. Come admire these attractive and interesting indie games!
With a little kitten as my new flatmate, I can confirm this is quite accurate:
Here's an update on the villain's lair. His pet cat remains the most chaotic force in the game. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #IndieGameDev #gamedev #madewithunity pic.twitter.com/VfCkiVOE3l

We've been hard at work with the VFX for our upcoming horror metroidvania. Rain, puddles and fog working to really animate the 2D art. #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev pic.twitter.com/Ioa1aGpURP

Hi guys, my husband and I have been working on a game that is inspired by classic anime films.
Which one is your favorite? 😊#screenshotsaturday #indiegames pic.twitter.com/HtZ0ybkO0t
I should point out, lest you assume, the dev says this journey's look isn't AI-generated:
I'm making a game where you drive trains and transit in a painterly art style, more to come #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/jq5vKYrD9G

The Ghost Trio is a powerful enemy that flings teacups and saucers at any who get too close.#TamarakTrail #indiedev #2danimation #gamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/yU83D5rGU0

Ghost Hand is on Steam, please Wish list it.
working on this Camera System, it is good for making trailers. pic.twitter.com/sxmzorhPyp
I don't feel nostalgia for a lot of the style and Internet culture that 500 Caliber Contractz is referencing, but someone reading this will absolutely flip their lid:
This post dedicated to all those gamers who keep asking me if I know what thing thing is

A lovely lush lounge dome in immersive sim RetroSpace (coming to Steam):
Early glimpse at a small rest area with a nice glass dome and some lush flora. Still a lot of work to do, the lighting is rudimentary, and we want to animate the plants as well, but it already has a nice feel to it. #screenshotsaturday #immersivesim #horror #indiegame #scifi pic.twitter.com/fkT4TtPzNS

Almost forgot to do #screenshotsaturday for SENTRY! This time showing a little building, some shooting and ending with some venting. Sorry, spoilers 😅 #madewithunity pic.twitter.com/Yn5EirmcMz

I'm really excited to show you the things I've been working on for the last few weeks, finally the game is taking the shape I dreamed of for it. #gameplay #videogames #gamedesign #indiedev #indiegames #lowpoly #b3d #scrapbound #madewithunity#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/jngozKYfJZ

Watch out! 🌊 This level has a swaying ship in the sea, which adds intersting element to the gameplay. The balls🏀roll from side to side and it makes it harder to pick them up. Each court has some unique gameplay elements to keep it fresh. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/h1YVAeBWlw
