A lurid pink & red first-person view of driving in Bahnsen Knights.

An intense little teaser for the next game from the studio behind Steel Assault:

Another small teaser of our next game. Our protagonist Angelo blazes across the highway in pursuit of his mark, deftly dodging both the corrupt NYPD and the ruthless Yakuza…#wip#screenshotsaturday#pixelart#ドット絵pic.twitter.com/KM2NyUtCts— Zenovia Interactive (@SteelAssault)May 20, 2023

I didn’t really enjoy the demo of the first Pixel Pulps game, Mothmen 1966, but the visual novel series is certainly striking:

BAHNSEN KNIGHTS is a game about a character who believes that Hell is not located below us, but rather above, and that tornadoes are like spinning angels claiming bodies for the Hellish skies. He makes a cult. And all members of the cult drive a Ford Sierra.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/DoUXkgueup— LCB Game Studio // ░P░I░X░E░L░ ░P░U░L░P░S░ (@lcbgamestudio)May 20, 2023

Applying this sort of electrical arcing effect to horrible tarbeast strands is cool:

While we’re at it, enjoy another terrible stringy beast:

I’m prototyping something. A procedural giant monster on 3 lanky legs. Very early wip. Enjoy the weekend!#Godot4#GodotEngine#screenshotsaturday#indiegames#indiegame#IndieGameDevpic.twitter.com/9YdmH1qJik— devmar (@devinthewater)May 20, 2023

And why do I get the feeling this guy might soon have something horrible to show us? Either that or he’s Venom Snake:

And, I guess Attack On Wendigo has one solution to all those terrible beasts:

I just wanna rip and tear flesh into pieces and I’m so bloody glad that gamedev allows me to make my carnage dreams come true!Attack on Wendigo is gonna come out next saturday!#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#madewithunity#Unity3D#FPS#indiedev#indiegames#indiegamedevpic.twitter.com/Eft7qS5r0q— Skinner Space (@SkinnerSpace)May 20, 2023

To cleanse your palate, a refreshing dive in N64-style platformer Cavern Of Dreams (coming to Steam):

I dig this “walking sim esque stuff [. . .] set in weird post-apocalyptic setting” from a dev whose dayjob is level design on Space Marine 2:

The “free-form, momentum-based platformer” Buzz (coming to Itch) seems a game we’ll need to have in our hands to really understand but I’m curious:

Finally, a game captures the anime violence of Friday night scraps outside the pub on my street:

Not this anime violence though, this has more cool posing than we can summon:

And let’s close on big moves in fighting gameFight.EXE(earlier demo available on Itch):
