Screenshot Saturday: Sunset Edition
With Dennis banging down the office walls all weekend, what better way to begin our breeze through Screenshot Saturday than with these storm-wracked windmills from Dutch artist Joost Eggermont.

Perhaps it’s the wind outside, but I can practically feel my monitor shaking from the threatening gales of Eggermont’s bold clip. You may recognise the artist’s name fromMooncharmer abstract lunar dance’s. While these harsh, almost monochromatic mills are an apparent break from Eggermont’s past work (viaofficial site), it’s clear he’s been skewing towards more melancholy palettes for some time. I’m excited to pop on my anorak and watch him see this storm through.
At least the weather’s not quite so cruel over onMinute of Islands.
The sun is setting. Will it rise again in the morning? We can only hope.#screenshotsaturdaypic.twitter.com/RwdUGWeKNQ— Minute of Islands (@MinuteofIslands)February 15, 2020

If I had my way, I’d have every game set on a warm autumn’s eve, bold orange sunlight scattering long shadows across the frame.Minute of Islandspopped up on Screenshot Saturday Sundaysunder Jay’s watch, but this time we’re given a more contemplative, exploratory look at Studio Fizbin’s hand-drawn world. The poetic platform-puzzler is still due for a release sometime later this year.
You’ve probably got it now, but quiet sunsets are something of a theme this week. Sticking to those tracks,Norco: Faraway Lightsis selling some utterly striking petrochemical bleakness.

I’ve never been much of a point n' click buff. I did, however, pick upPrimordiafor a long night’s train ride across Finland nearly a decade back. I fell hard for its isolating android tune, andNorcoseems to be hitting so many of those notes in the more grounded marshlands of a smog-fuelled cyberpunk Louisiana. The machines are fantastical, but this is very much a place rooted in real history.
Finally: here’s a duck with a gun.

Scrolling back through Zac Lucarelli’s feed,Duck With A Gunjust looks… fun? Messy, broken fun, for sure, but there’s enough table-flipping, slow motion physics nonsense to give it an identity beyond “what ifthat horrible goosewas packing heat?”.
