Screenshot Saturday Mondays: Gaming's fanciest interactive toilet?
Admire these indie games off Twitter
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by dramatic skies, a body-surfing game I cannot help but suspect is not actually Starfield, and the fanciest interactive toilet I have ever seen in a video game. Check out these attractive and interesting indies, and many more!
We're told this is Starfield and definitely not Super Buff HD (coming to Steam, with a demo there now) and yet:
Howdy, #screenshotsaturday. Don't have a clip from SUPER BUFF HD this week, so here's some Starfield gameplay. Can't believe Todd finally added bodysurfing to the game.#gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #retroFPS pic.twitter.com/zvW03WXQqx

Interactive toilets are a staple of immersive sims but RetroSpace (coming to Steam) is just taking the piss:
🪩🚽 Yes, we have studied in-depth what public toilets were like in the 70s to provide a fully authentic experience. (very WIP!)

Better with sound!

I'm still not sure what Ryan Corniel's real-time puppet experiments are for (possibly some sort of show?) but until I know they're not for games, I'll keep posting:
I have way too many puppet experiment videos. Here's another one. Mouth tests.... and realizing the head is too heavy. #screenshotsaturday #UnrealEngine #RealTime pic.twitter.com/WH5BE6nRHN

Fantastic physics fun and delightfully destructive violence in Epic Hero Game (coming to Steam):

This never gets old.
If you manage to steal the giant's hat, it will temporarily give you 9001 strength!!!

Adepts Arena also offers geologic violence:
Ok this time It kind of sucks the game is about the Earth element and not about fire, because I want to burn them to ashes.

Tell me what you think of the sound effects and think of a name for them#indiedev #indiegames #gamedevelopment #IndieGameDev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/VzaYhqohzT
I don't know how I feel about a spider having the powers and proportional strength of a Spider-Man in platformer A Webbing Journey (coming to Steam):
Testing my swinging skills in our new canyon area for #screenshotsaturday. What do you think? 🤔#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #spider #swing pic.twitter.com/AguAul56qE

Parkour! And... lightning claws? Curious to see what this prototype might grow into:

This is indeed a pretty swamp in paper-folding puzzler Paper Trail (coming to Steam):
Isn't this the prettiest swamp you've ever seen? 🥺#ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #madewithunity #indiedev #IndieGameDev

I believe that this game (which I've posted before) still doesn't have a name, though I cannot believe that robots would be so rude to your hovershark:
Grabbycrab with arms can grab on to you and toss you off your ride if you are not careful. 🦀#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #IndieGameDev #gamedev #madewithunity pic.twitter.com/vp9oZYlIQV
