Screenshot Saturday Mondays: sandworms, fish, and a cat, fishing

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, we quite a lot of wet things, from ships and waterfalls to fish and a cat, fishing. Check 'em out!

Hoverboarding and grapple-hooking and big monsters continue to look wild in Withersworn (coming to Steam):

I don't understand how this is producing honey in Streamwalker Tribes, an "anime hero collection game designed for streamers to play together with their audiences", but it is pretty:

Looks like it's time to harvest this honey 🍯#pixelart #ドット絵 #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/cJ6Rq1cjvk

Bold poses before the violence starts in mecha shoot 'em up sequel Valfaris: Mecha Therion (coming to Steam):

Did some more Intro works this past week.

I'm game for devs planning for sequence-breaking, like this in NES-style platformer Prison City (coming to Steam):

Happy #screenshotsaturday!

This is a bit unconventional, but I'm working on deliberate sequence breaks for people who are skilled with certain un-explained and unrequired mechanics in Prison City!#gamedev

Prison City is part of Next Fest, so I'll throw a link in the replies! pic.twitter.com/X5Pe8D3in1

A neat work-in-progress animation for "boss rush platformer" Gurei (coming to Steam):

(WIP) A little update from our new Boss... Try not to drown in these powerful waves! 🌊🌊

Give us early support by wishlisting Gurei on Steam: https://t.co/5VDvWvgslm 🦊#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #ゲーム制作 pic.twitter.com/kVBNZTvKVQ

A colourful fishing friend in the metroidvania Faerie Afterlight (coming to Steam):

Even in the Darkness, Lumina’s creatures endure.

Those are big swords in Mortal Sin (coming to Steam):

Redid the final boss and final area to be a better match for the player's power. In the end, not even big swords can save you from your sinful ways!#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #unity3d #mortalsin pic.twitter.com/r0bJleL8i7

While I appreciate the freedom to go fast in all places at all times, this feels like nuisance behaviour in "platform-adventure game" Monospaced Lovers (coming to Steam). What if you bump into a neighbour! What if your whooshing tears tiles off their roof! Rude:

You don't HAVE to zoom through town. But I mean, we won't stop you.#screenshotsaturday | #madewithunity | #gamedev | #indiedev | #indiegames | #indiegame pic.twitter.com/i6LDLvCX2s

I hope there's a secret behind this pretty waterfall in Divining Rods (work-in-progress version available free from Itch.io):

Water falls even for?#screenshotsaturday #studentgamedev #UnrealEngine #fish pic.twitter.com/aWq4O8de1R

I respect this in climbing game New Heights, and I hate it to death:

I went up this wall in real life. Now it's in a game, New Heights. Would you dare to try it?#indiegame #screenshotsaturday #climbing #simulator#gamedev #freyr pic.twitter.com/eyYFtJHxzv

Yup, shadow-hopping game Schim continues to look super cute:

And to close, I do believe it's important to learn from your mistakes, but I absolutely recognise it can be funny to repeat them:
