Admiring more upcoming indie games

A young girl sat on a cushion paints a painting using a chair as an easel in an illustration from ‘Lotus Bay. A summer on Cape Cod’.

Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week I have more games than usual to share because dang, so many things looked cool.

I don’t really know what I’m looking at in this screenshot from “interplanetary action RPG"Batora: Lost Haven(coming to Steam), which is a good feeling:

Not quite sure what’s happening here in Dynopunk (coming to Steam), a visual novel set in a world where dinosaurs never went extinct, but it’s neat:

A cute look to 4X strategy game Flatlings:

City screens now show the time to complete a production, and expansions can be further away from the city centre as long as they are still connected to it.

After Ghostwire: Tokyo, I am very into glowing wire violence, like this in mythological action RPG Asterigos: Curse Of The Stars (coming to Steam):
