Screenshot Saturday Mondays: rotoscoping, water, and metroidvanias Admiring more upcoming indie games Feature by Alice O'Connor Associate Editor Published on June 20, 2022 1 comment 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: Rotoscoping WIPs for my cinematic platformer LUNARK https://t.co/NHTV7eIoif #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #animation pic.twitter.com/7RShoSJkNz- Johan Vinet (@johanvinet) June 19, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Manage cookie settings 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- Lightyears from Home (@LightyearsGame) June 18, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
