Screenshot Saturday Mondays: Fishing rod violence and horrible udders
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 retro-styled adventure games and city-builders, phenomenally cool fishing rod violence, and some sort of horrible sentient milk glands. Check out all these attractive and interesting indie games!
A striking scene in adventure game When You're Not Around:

A look at the building of a more retro-styled adventure game, The Crimson Diamond (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):
Happy #screenshotsaturday! The Crimson Diamond is a mystery adventure game set in Ontario, Canada! Get to know the other guests at Crimson lodge, listen in on their conversations, and look for diamonds! Demo on Steam - Please wishlist! ✨ https://t.co/F8z0Ggwsyq #indiegame pic.twitter.com/pvvPwKeSY4

Hi SSS, I'm working on Metropolis 1998, an upcoming city builder game.
Currently I'm working on making multi-story building creation fun and easy for the players, as well as updating my 2D game to act like it's 3D 😓 pic.twitter.com/XA6LOfdwh3
Technically this isn't tagged as part of Screenshot Saturday but it was posted on Saturday and surely you wouldn't want me to skip posting something this cool:
Hot take i think modernizing tank controls is gonna be a sick game

Climbing walls always feels slightly magical in games, especially if for crime purposes, like in Heist Raccoon:

On this #ScreenshotSaturday, we bring you a dual perspective. Scene Screenshot: Discover a serene landscape with a twist—the subtle imperfection in the background stitching adds authenticity to our game world. Behind the Scenes: Explore the artistic process! #IndieGame pic.twitter.com/7jBD9CGUp1

We're not in Realms Deep today (keep your eyes peeled for spooky season!), but I do have something to show: you can now shoot axes and hatchets out of the air!
The doctor has been learning his own tricks.#gloomwood #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/IhLIDjulZh
Excitable ducks in adventure game/beat 'em up Pho King My Life (coming to Steam):
Why is there a pho king vending machine in the middle of the forest? Why are the ducks excited for it? All questions I don't have answers for.#screenshotsaturday #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/NmWOKCZiPU
