Screenshot Saturday Mondays: animals cute and deadly Staring at interesting upcoming indie games Feature by Alice O'Connor Associate Editor Published on May 16, 2022 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 several cute and unexpectedly deadly animals, as well a place which is not a place of honor, a Bitcoin hellscape, and of course more grappling hook ultraviolence. At first I thought Dan DeEntremont was simply showing off some pretty fur effects but oh, OH NO! Trying grooms in #UnrealEngine5! Squirrel is still a Blender rig, but Houdini handles the fur. This was extremely challenging, but very fun to explore!#indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine #blender3d #Houdini #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/dyLfZGkH0W- Dan DeEntremont (@QuiteDan) May 15, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Today we're testing out the teleporters in an extremely honorable, great-deeds celebrating, brutalist hellscape. Extremely normal stuff. Enjoy!#indiedev #gamedev #horrorgame pic.twitter.com/kezPKxNaN5- ??????????: 370% FUNDED - COMING SOON! (@90sGraphics) May 8, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
