Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week is the end of the year for us here at RPS, so this is the last look I’ll bring you until the future arrives. In that spirit, please enjoy this bumper Christmas edition to tide you over until we’re back. Don’t read it in one go under the covers while guzzling chocolate coins, you little scamp.
I believe this striking music video is the intro cutscene for Act 4 of Dreams Of Joy Departed (current version availableon Itch.io). You can also watch the videoon YouTubeand hear the songon Bandcamp:

A nose of 3D Sonic coming off Lightspeed Lina:
A level block for the left side of Citrus Shore I think I’m going to keep! Trying to strike a good balance between platforming and running. Definitely still needs collectables/ enemies here, though.#screenshotsaturday#indiegame#indiedev#gamedevpic.twitter.com/HKTYXdi8Xh— CornflowerBlue (@Cornf_Blue)December 16, 2023

I don’t know enough about two-button fighting gameDojo Masters(coming to Steam) to truly appreciate what’s happening here, but it looks cool:
🥋 While experimenting with Custom Lobbies we found a really goofy Ruleset:❖ 5 Seconds❖ No Stamina❖ Traditional KOsSince First Hit Kills, every interaction is a scramble.We’ve collectively played 500+ matches now 😅#screenshotsaturday#FGC#indiegame#DojoMasterspic.twitter.com/0Psfy4nHx9
Honestly, this from claymation adventure gameVisceratum(coming to Steam) is on the less horny end of the Giger-inspired biomachine spectrum:

I’ve played Deus Ex enough times that apparently the mere sight of crates and a big ship is enough to pique my interest, so thanks for that realisation, Ghostware: Arena Of The Dead (in early access on Steam):
