Screenshot Saturday Mondays: a spooky pandemic and handcrafted art
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 so very much! Come check out immersive sim piano-playing, hand-drawn and stop-motion art, alien horror and pandemic horror, dogfighting planes, and loads more!
Cute handcrafted scenes in stop-motion language-learning adventure game Language Adventure:
Happy #screenshotsaturday! Here's four of them form Language Adventure!

A strong mood in Curfew (coming to Itch.io), a horror game "set on a surreal floating British island during a mysterious pandemic":
I promised myself to break the cycle of starting and not finishing projects. CURFEW is the result of that promise. A game I truly care about.

I look forward to playing the one tune I know off the top of my head (the main ditty from The Big Breakfast's theme song) on this piano:
Coming in hot with a late submission for #screenshotsaturday! Today's work is a fully functional piano- I figure displaying the note information to the player means that music inputs are fair game to be used in.....places😉 #indiegame #gamedev #imsim #indiedev #immersivesim pic.twitter.com/zf0fv4aZ6e

And why not just a splash more water, from The Journey Of AutUmn (coming to Steam), a hand-painted adventure game about an android exploring an alien planet:
It is #screenshotsaturday
We are making good progress with "The Journey of AutUmn". 🚀
Currently we are play testing the third chapter. 😊#indiedev #gamedeveloper #IndieGameDev #scifi #pointandclick #adventuregame #madewithvisionaire @SpieleIndie pic.twitter.com/tzoVoCQNL8
I like this little detail in treasure-hunting "action adventure RPG" Bridgebourn, which has a good look in general:
Forget "cape physics" feature creep. I added "breathe rate" that goes higher after physical activity#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/SpunLI0Q0n

Forest scene to test my B&W nighttime fog and lighting in my alien game The White Owl. I'm aiming to create something similar to Rendlesham Forest, the location of the UK's equivalent of the Roswell incident.#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #madewithunity #unity3d #ufotwitter pic.twitter.com/tuTVdA3d2r

This is a curious one:
We are working on our first commercial video game, a pacifist, story driven sci-fi puzzle adventure set in a distant future. Here are two screenshots for #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #UnrealEngine5 #videogames #indiegames #indiedev #scifi pic.twitter.com/vTtHh1M3zF

Coming in the next update: The Developer Museum.
An interactive credits level where you can look around, read about who did what, see things like cut content and maybe find some easter eggs?
