Which come out looking a little something like this (still needing work to tidy up the model):

I am looking forward to doodling castles and landscapes inTiny Glade(coming to Steam), a game in a similar vein toTownscaper:

I know it’s not the final look but I am really enjoying seeing work-in-progress animations flow through different levels of completion in fighting game Rising Spirit:

This is all about showing off the arrows! We are giving Valentina a lot of versatility to give her a good keep away game. Things will be refined even more to make her arrows fun and easy to shoot all the variations we have planned#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#gamedev#indiegamepic.twitter.com/f1aqi3vtQd— Rising Spirit (@RisingSpiritVG)May 6, 2023

The stumble on these horrible creatures inSamurai Unicornlooks both practical and pretty:

Shooting a VRmin has the potential to trigger a stumble reaction that is different depending on where they were hit. A well-timed stumble could help you get out of tight situation… Or you could just panic and sink a whole clip into one like I did.#screenshotsaturday#lowpolypic.twitter.com/LdT6dUbfge— Samurai Unicorn (@SamUni_PS1)May 6, 2023

Rhythm game and roguelikelike FPS combine in Robobeat (coming to Steam):

I like handcrafted art, and I really like the idea of Home Safety Hotline (coming to Steam), where you work on a phone helpline diagnosing infestations of increasingly supernatural households pests:

Looking at other screenshots and clips, turn-based tactical mecha game Arc Seed (coming to Steam) doesn’t seem shy about its Evangelion influences:

I like the embossed noise and texture in Groceries, “a psychological horror game about leaving your apartment”:

Dinging a bell in Brio ‘em up Tracks (out on Steam for years now) feels important:

I know I post it often but I’m very excited for Echostasis (coming to Steam), with a demo there now), the final game in the trilogy with The Enigma Machine and Mothered:

A stylish load of nonsense in this yet-untitled action game:

I’ve seen a lot of fishing minigames, but don’t remember one like this in Voron (coming to Steam):

Do you think every game is better with fishing mechanics?#screenshotsaturday#madewithunity#BirdUppic.twitter.com/n0Ztfa5YKZ— VORON | wishlist now (check BIO) 👇 (@MerkGamesStudio)May 6, 2023

I am very unhappy seeing this spelunking in Granite Casket:

Hi I’m making Granite Casket, a cave crawling claustrophobic experience about squeezing yourself into all sorts of places. It also now has water to worry about!I want to stay away from supernatural elements to focus on the real fear of caving.pic.twitter.com/n217etlJYt— Desktoy (@DesktoySamuel)May 7, 2023

This week at the intersection of Kitty Corner and Alarming Bug Corner, we have this beast from The Man In The Park 2 (coming to Itch):

Another beast bug comes from co-op sheep herding game Too Many Sheep (coming to Steam), a game idea I’m very into because honestly I could watch flocking animations all day:

When testing a larger flock of sheep, be sure to include the collision area for the floor. Weeeeeeeee!#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#gamedev#failpic.twitter.com/i0dX7NwKXK— Too Many Sheep - Wishlist it today! (@sheepgame)May 6, 2023

And let’s close with just some person from Dog’s World (coming to Steam), “a surreal, menu driven, pseudo-immersive sim without rhyme or reason”:
