Our former Screenshot Saturday Sunday writer Nat (who inherited the column from Jay Castello) recently escaped games blogging to become a level designer onA Highland Song(comingto Steam), the next game from80 DaysandHeaven’s Vaultstudio Inkle. Hallo again, Nat!

Some cracking Dark Messiah Of Might & Magic-esque kick-o-trap physics tomfoolery from Perish (headedto Steam):
I don’t believe this cool posing reflects how side-scrolling mecha shoot ‘em up Valfaris: Mecha Therion (headedto Steam) plays, but it is cool:

As much as I try not to post the same games over and over, The Office (final name TBC) continues to look cool and I can’t help myself:

Likewise, I’ve posted occult internet streaming simdarkwebSTREAMERbefore, but I can’t resist when a bug becomes a feature:
the thing about makin weird occult stuff is that when your game glitches, it feels like some terrible intentional arcane curseannnd that’s how we turn bugs into featureslike this glitched text that is def now a thing in the game#screenshotsaturday#gamedev#indiedev#gamingpic.twitter.com/89xnDv8WpG— darkwebSTREAMER🔜gamescom (@darkwebSTREAMER)July 30, 2022

I love how with a shader it’s relatively easy to vary the colors of walls. These walls use the same textures and material, but colors are adjusted depending on the floor#gamedev#indiedev#screenshotsaturday#forestgrove#unity3dpic.twitter.com/foncCpnXIF— Miga Games (@GamesFromMiga)July 29, 2022

Submarine mode acquired, time to swim with nemo 🐠. Need to find a reason why the player doesn’t suffocate underwater, I don’t want to turn him into a fishman. Any cool ideas 😎?#screenshotsaturday#indiegames#gamedev#indiedev#madewithunity#gamedevelopmentpic.twitter.com/luSnfbbd86— Deniz Cetinalp (@416_dc)July 31, 2022

I’m very interested inVenba(comingto Steam), a “narrative cooking game” starring an Indian mum who immigrates to 1980s Canada with her family:
When there’s no recipe, Venba can sometimes recall memories of making the dish with her mother to provide useful hints to the player!#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/vKufdvz7eB— வெண்பா / Venba Game (@venbaGame)July 30, 2022

And finally, some flashy violence from boss rush action-platformerGurei:
(🎧 sound on) A new foe has appeared! The Cyan Kami 神 likes to keep its distance…Mind that assets, specially SFX, are a work in progress!#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#gamedev#indiegame#ゲーム制作pic.twitter.com/MNMfJjfjqW— Gurei 愚霊 🏯 videogame (@LoboSagazStudio)July 30, 2022
