Screenshot Saturday Mondays: skeleton wrestling and squirrel muggings Admiring more interesting indie games Feature by Alice O'Connor Associate Editor Published on Sept. 26, 2022 7 comments 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 art made of hands, skeleton wrestling, and a squirrel horrifyingly climbing people to rob them. Honestly a perfect version of Metal Gear Solid's frisking in Squirrel With A Gun (coming to Steam). If a squirrel climbed you, would you be in a position to stop it robbing you? Squirrel can now climb humans! Use it to yoink some pocket goodies such as extra magazines. #gaming #indiedev #gamedev #UE5 #UnrealEngine5 #indiegame #blender3d #blender #b3d #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday #wishlistwednesday pic.twitter.com/9Hz0dP35Wb- Squirrel with a Gun (Dan DeEntremont) (@QuiteDan) September 18, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

That said, I do see they have a small new game out right now, which I must check out after finishing this post. One of a set of corridor-drafts lying around in a folder on my computer . . . waiting for a game I suppose.#madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #IndieGameDev pic.twitter.com/Oy8d2ZzP41- Studio Oleomingus (@studiooleomingu) September 24, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Manage cookie settings As a noted appreciator of water, I appreciate Saralie Wagstrom's work on this untitled (I think?) hobby project. I've been working on river and waterfall materials for the game! Also setting up easy ways to make more (we love splines).I find it very soothing to just look at everything in motion#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #IndieGameDev #UnrealEngine pic.twitter.com/COAIuqjpMG- Saralie (@SaralieWagstrom) September 24, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Just made some new potions for our game!Would you drink any of these?#indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/2MxZzuVT5g- Minotaur Princess (@Bunnies4peace) September 24, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

And I still can't think of a better way to express "capture" other than hands... ?#indiegame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/JvYynFNThp- Out of Hands (@PlayOutofHands) September 24, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
