Screenshot Saturday Mondays: a fluorescent tube into your immersively simulated face
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, we have immersive sims spraying perfume and hurling fluorscent tube bulbs, motorbike murders, and several journeys with animal friends. Plus, I've been away a few weeks for various reasons, so this Monday I have a little catch-up on some bits and pieces I made notes of last month. Look!
The big question I have of perfume spritzers in alt-history 1970s immersive sim Spectra is: can I use them to blind unwitting enemies?
perfume spritzer vending machines. Dare i implement deep immersive smell-based detection mechanics? only time will tell.....#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #imsim #immersivesim pic.twitter.com/CBKE0ayk8r

Working hard on making the game sound as good as possible 🎧
When in slow motion there are more sounds like bullets flying through the air and shells hitting the ground

A ridiculously skillful display of kendama violence from an animator on Thirsty Suitors (coming to Steam):
This is one attack where I actually did the motion IRL first and then made the animation almost exactly as is.#thirstysuitors #screenshotsaturday #kendama #chainwhip pic.twitter.com/YhWe38ZrQ3

Did you know most rectangular lights have a broken fluorescent bulb you can use as a weapon?
If you think enemies are too tough, take advantage of the environment! Experiment!https://t.co/ycPBQKrFLA#screenshotsaturday #indiegames #immersivesim pic.twitter.com/mL3srPGea6
