Heavy notes ofCounter-Strike surfingin course-traversing FPS The Nexus Kernel:
I got Bakery. It’s amazing. It dramatically speeds up lighting courses for me. I finished the lighting for this course and re-did the lighting for a previous course to see how it works.#screenshotsaturday#indiedev#gamedev#indiegame#madewithunity#indieFPSpic.twitter.com/x3fF2lfCH8— Attuka (@AttukaDev)January 7, 2023

I fully agree with the design philosophy behind this yet-unnamed beat ‘em up platformer:

A whack of edginess from adventure game Project_Basement_Dating:
T+191|T+192. Day. Tomorrow we’ll fully build the demo, its going to drop a bit of weight off my shoulder. Still need to write, but feels a lot better to have the full thing instead of bits.😁♥️#Project_Basement_Dating#visualnovel#IndieGameDev#gamedev#RPG#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/TnnRuGcjNC— Many_A_Dead_Mackerels (@Many_A_Dead_XOX)January 7, 2023

A bit of side-on ultraviolence fromAstoria Legends: Red Moon(2020 pre-alpha demo availablethrough its website):

Honestly this is just a trailer, not a screenshot or clip, and probably shouldn’t be included here but I’m pointing out the first trailer forRetroSpace(coming to Steam) because I’ve posted it quite a few times in Screenshot Saturday Mondays. Last time I even said, “I wish this retro space immersive sim would get a name, because I’m posting it a lot so a name would be quite convenient.” Now it has a name: RetroSpace. And now you know.
FINALLY! 😎 Time to reveal:‼️ RETROSPACE ‼️An immersive, disco-punk, horror-fps with a huge emphasis on freedom and exploration!Please follow:@RetroSpaceGameWishlist on Steam soon!#screenshotsaturday#immersivesim#indiedev#horror#fps#retrofps#pcgaming#RetroSpacepic.twitter.com/Uor10HVVA9— Bánk B.

I can’t say I entirely understand what’s going on here in Zefyr: A Thief’s Melody (coming to Steam), but well!
Sailing on my turtle and encounter with a Kraken/Robot.Procedural tentacles are super interesting to code, but the movement is less predictible …Wishlist Zefyr on Steam:https://t.co/dooDs1Berr#indiegame#indiegamedev#screenshotsaturday#madewithunity#indiewatchpic.twitter.com/cZxme4Or8k— Oneiric Worlds (@oneiricworlds)January 7, 2023
