I often find research is the most fun part of doing something, especially if it involves a camping trip:

I still really appreciate the committment to cool yet technically achievable-ish animations in Thirsty Suitors (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

Some of you have grumbled about devs using Screenshot Saturday for videos, not screenshots, so let’s counterbalance a little with load of screenies from Inkle’s next game,A Highland Song(coming to Steam):
