Screenshot Saturday Mondays: rotoscoping, water, and metroidvanias
Admiring more upcoming indie games
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 time, come admire some rotoscoping, Ponging, and two very different metroidvanias.
I do appreciate a behind-the-scenes peek at rotoscoping:

A bold look to roguelikelike first-person action game Mortal Sin:

I'm not much one for survival games but I do like this forest in Lightyears From Home, a "story-based survival metroidvania":
Here's a first look at our custom temperature system! Right now the system is based on time of day and location and will later be connected to the weather as well, once implemented. #screenshotsaturday #UE5 #madewithunreal #LightyearsFromHome pic.twitter.com/XTVzLTb4c8

A cool boss with big swords in the metroidvania Rusted Moss:
Happy #screenshotsaturday

Giant flying swords!!!!! ^__^
Still working on balancing and designing this boss fight but our artist and programmer (who is the same person!) really nailed the aesthetic. #indiedev #IndieGameDev #indiegames pic.twitter.com/RjLJJdRfH1
Sound on for dramatic dialogue drum beats:
After experimenting with an isometric view, I've moved on to experiment with rhythmic dialogues

Above the waves, a great little life in this boat:

Extremely into whatever these little critters are in this yet-unnammed two-player game:
It's #screenshotsaturday !

Been a while since I posted about this game now, and a few changes have been made.
One of which is that I have settled on a theme I want for the game, which is exploring a world in bug-view#gamedevelopment #gamedev #GameMaker pic.twitter.com/hli2eer1Rh
And some great Ponging from one of the folks behind Shotgun King:
So I guess I'm making a "pong' em up" 🏓✨
