A nice bit of interface in horror investigation gameMy Work Is Not Yet Done(coming to Steam):

Haven’t done a#screenshotsaturdayin what feels like almost a year at this point, but since it’s Saturday, and I’ve actually been working, I’ve touched up the visuals for the S̶t̶e̶a̶l̶t̶h̶ ̶C̶a̶m̶ and created a new interface element for extracting data from it.#gamemakerpic.twitter.com/dcQdOwfc03— Spencer Yan (@spncryn)August 19, 2023

I’m sensing a large Persona influence in the interface for cyberpunk deckbuilder Cyber Cards, and I am okay with that:

Card Borders should exude character.🏮Red Cards slash with Bloody Katanas, while 🌸Pink Cards resonate with Zen serenity.#screenshotsaturday#gamemaker#indiegame#indiedevpic.twitter.com/9HCAwmgG0b— Cyber Cards 🤙 (@CyberCards_)August 20, 2023

I’m an absolute sucker for the movement in cyberpunk first-person shooterSprawl(coming to Steam):

These shotgun jumps will never get old.Fast pace Titanfall like parkour action; SPRAWL is almost here.Wishlist on Steam:https://t.co/NBnmqoueuJJoin our Discord:https://t.co/IEh9XTNJx6#gamedev#madewithunreal#fps#SPRAWL#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/KmFql6euHM— SPRAWL (@SprawlFPS)August 19, 2023

Setting out for a casual stroll on the sea floor in post-Apocalyptic underwater horror gameB.C. Piezophile(coming to Steam):

Meanwhile, above the waves, delivering a cute cargo in post-apocalyptic boat game Thawed Waters (coming to Steam):

What could be sweeter than a puff from the old trusty pipe after valuable furry cargo is finally unloaded?#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#IndieGameDev#pixelartpic.twitter.com/eumBHD2IQc— Crystallin Games - Thawed Waters (@CrystallinGames)August 19, 2023

Horrible, awful, just dreadful violence in Horrid, a mod for GZDoom:

A bit late, but I wanted to finally showcase my latest project, the violent & fever-dreamish experience of “Horrid”#screenshotsaturday#gzdoom#indiedevpic.twitter.com/ZfNWdDwEjP— baconandx (@baconandx)August 20, 2023

Big fan of the lively PS1/Dreamcast style toYellow Taxi Goes Vroom(coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Retro-styled run ‘n’ gunnerIron Meat(coming to Steam, with a demo there now) has some of the most over-the-top item crates (I think that’s what this functionally is?) I’ve ever seen:

A nice bit of violence here:

Twitter’s rubbish video player might mean you miss the opening push (genuinely, I had to download the video from a third-party site to see the vital opening frames myself), but here’s a little shove ‘n’ swipe in a spin-off from Ghostware:

speaking of the spinoff, have a peek at one of its core gameplay loops: Steal To Kill (stylishly)#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/beqdMNVUaB— whoa you made ghostware? so cool… (@Ghostware_)August 19, 2023

Though this video of Ecaroh’s Universe plays just fine and I still have no idea what it is, and I’m perfectly fine with that:

I don’t know what this is either, but I dig the vibe and whoa okaythe dev’s other gamessound all sorts of interesting:

While I don’t usually enjoy Death Star sections, this does look pretty in Akimbot, a game which I think is mostly about a robot jumping about but does have spaceship shooter sections:

Akimbot is a 3D Platformer, and platforming means that it applies to SPACE as well! 👾(It’s not as easy as it looks 😰)#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#indiedev#UE5pic.twitter.com/NAny7MwN7x— Akimbot - Action 3D Platformer (@akimbot_game)August 19, 2023

At a certain point, you’ll need to stage an intervention to stop me constantly posting immersive sim Spectra:

Because I can’t resist a waterfall either, here, I can’t tell if this one in Soulcrest (coming to Kickstarter) is meant to be tragic, erotic, or possibly both:

What else caught your eye this weekend, reader dear?
