Screenshot Saturday Mondays: swashbuckling chandelier murder Our weekly look over interesting upcoming indies Feature by Alice O'Connor Associate Editor Published on Aug. 15, 2022 3 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 weekend, my eye was caught by swashbuckling chandelier murder, a bumpy train ride, and lots of good colours. Come see! If your game has violence and chandeliers, I should be able to perform violence using chandeliers. First-person stabber Dad By The Sword (coming to Steam, from the studio behind Death Road To Canada) understands this: Dad-style chandelier swashbuckling like back in the day #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/Ao1pQW7aNl- Rocketcat Games (@rocketcatgames) August 13, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

You can now enjoy a bumpy ride in a šinobus too #Podvarak #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/XWxL7MNYys- IVAN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN (@Nothke) August 13, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

If you're curious about how it all works, the dev explained more in a thread: One more for the procedural animations fans on #screenshotsaturday Cleaned up the code a little and added sprinting.#lowpoly #indiedev #proceduralanimation pic.twitter.com/p5VeIllgG8- All City, Kitty!

I am glad to be uncertain looking at this. #the_22nd_is_serda_f0a178 #indiegame #zolynh #valdram #katushkaband #invisible #невидимка #madewithunreal #altgame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #скриншотсуббота #gamedev The 22nd is Serda. f0a178, indiegame, zolynh, valdram, katushkaband, altgame, indiedev, gamedev pic.twitter.com/ORTCnehJy5- • Zolynh • Valdram (@zolynh) August 13, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

There is now feedback for exactly which part of the body you hit, and you can see how damaged it is as it changes color. ?#screenshotsaturday #unity3d #gamedev pic.twitter.com/vPqf5Zp0Ut- Nikola Todorovic (@sonofslobodan) August 13, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
