Every weekend, indie developers show off their current work on Twitter #screenshotsaturday label. And every Monday, I bring you this selection of photos and clips. This week’s picks are a lot less comprehensive than usual as I’m having some issues on Twitter that I’m hoping are tech issues and not policy changes, but I guess we’ll see. Still! My eyes are drawn to some cool and fancy stuff, including Halloweenie cake pieces like an armed squirrel fooling people and lots of red liquid.
Seasonal loot from Squirrel With A Gun (Come to Steam):
We haven’t tormented Remy in a while. Let’s check out some NPC spoofing mechanics on him for Halloween! 🎃🔫🐿#gaming #indiedev #gamedev # UE5 # UnrealEngine5 #indie games # blender3d #grinder # b3d #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday #wishlistwednesday #steam #Halloween pic.twitter.com/PFKrR0oiu4

I’ve always liked to dodge around the battlefield with battle NPCs, and when those NPCs are giant cyborgs? Yes, thanks VA Proxy (Come to Steam):
Big machines are territorial, so try not to get caught up in their turf wars.#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/0yS7IuPJij

Good fog, good explosions and a good crowd in the PvP base defense game currently known under the title Legion Souls:
They arrived at sunset.
Watch our dynamic fog blown away by explosions! 💥🌫#screenshotsaturday #pixel art # #indiedev pic.twitter.com/PM4l1l24ds

Lots of beauty going on here:

You have a few more days to vote whether firing bullets or honking a customizable horn is betterso maybe this from Niamh will help:
When you spend a lot of time testing a new mechanic because it’s fun.
What do you think about this bullet?#gamedev #indiedev #indie games #pixel art #screenshotsaturday #madewithgodot pic.twitter.com/zF3DbJLSXK

An extremely cute mouse house:
I created some modular content for the game and decided to build a little mouse house
Don’t worry the vegetation shown here is only temporary, we have some much better vegetation in the works#screenshotsaturday #gamedev pic.twitter.com/WGCdRagVKK

Into the tech corner, here’s a nice melting effect from the first-person shooter’s Hellscreen (Come to Steam):
Took a LONG time to get the first pass of this melted wall but so far pretty happy with it!#TechArt #ScreenshotSaturday#AmplifyShader#VFX pic.twitter.com/rxBxMcgde9

This roguelikelike fluid simulation reminds me of Noita, and I’m always happy when I think about Noita:
My game currently has water (liquid simulation). #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/5d2JfNVRCm

Speaking of red liquid, I appreciate this look at the bloodline in isolation:
No dark action RPG is without a bit of gore.

Let’s end with a fun little bug:

What else caught your eye this weekend, dear reader?
For those who like to see behind the scenes, I will explain my problem. Usually, I scroll all the way down Latest posts about #ScreenshotSaturday on Twitter, look at everything. Today, that cuts short and refuses to show anything older than a specific tweet posted just before midnight on Saturday. The others in the RPS treehouse were also severed at the time. So I’ve been trying to do my best with Saturday’s Screenshot that I can barely see. Sorry, gang! Hopefully things will be back to normal by the end of next week?
