Screenshot Saturday Mondays: “Sekiro with a gun?”

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, I return to oggle cars on alien worlds and cars in big fights, even more immersive sims, and a game described uncertainly as perhaps “Sekiro with a gun?” or “Killer7 souls?” Check out these attractive and interesting indie games!

This city would have blown my mind if it had appeared in the 90s real-time strategy games which inspired D.O.R.F. (coming to Steam):

Wow, the big city!#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/Z5q5QliibU

While these cities in city-building survival game Synergy (coming to Steam) are more of the 70s, via Moebius:

Whistling is an extremely good way for guards to bark their presence in an immersive sim like Spectra:

for #screenshotsaturday i implemented my first patrolling guards, complete with whistling and grumbling complaints about how they just wish something would happen. bonus points if you recognize the whistle#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #imsim #immersivesim pic.twitter.com/zdwtF4aWiR

Elsewhere on the immersive sim spectrum, “immersive horror FPS” Athanasia (coming to Steam) seems more System Shock 2-ish to me:

Nope! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame pic.twitter.com/dHaHgqGNol

And can’t you feel immersive sim ancestry in this shocking little kick from retro-futurustic western shooter ExeKiller?

In times of danger, everything becomes a weapon… Just stay vigilant! 🔥#ScreenshotSaturday #Exekiller #Gaming #UnrealEngine #UE5 pic.twitter.com/9tMNej6rY8

Oh, but the destructive physics on THIS violence from Epic Hero Game (coming to Steam):

Hi #screenshotsaturday

Physics based combat improvements.

Nice to have a solid foundation to work with.

Stay tuned for more physics crazyness in the near future!!! 😃

Physics are far more constructive in Turnip Mountain (coming to Steam, with a demo there now):

🪢 More ropes! 🪢

Ropes can now attach to other ropes, as well as other objects in the scene! 🏹#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker pic.twitter.com/HozdtYqE4F

The demo for Samurai Unicorn (coming to Steam) is currently only for Patreon subscribers, but I can certainly enjoy looking at this for free:

This in Megacopter: Blades Of The Goddess (coming to Steam) looks like Desert Strike with a dash of… Galshell? Oh, I’ve just read that the helicopter is sentient and “gains power by feeding on the blood of its enemies”, how lovely:

A real kick of speed comes in PS2-style platformer Project: Longtail (a working title, perhaps?):

I do have to say this is my favorite mechanic of the recent additions to Longtail 👀 This will allow for pretty cool movement!#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gamer #UnrealEngine #3dplatformer pic.twitter.com/gMd5fUAXZ7

I really like how this feels like 90s FPS elements mixed with perhaps a little visual flair from 90s FMV games:

So, now there’s some new weapons behaviors done. Bullets and impacts still as placeholders, but hey, now the HUD works properly 😀#gamedev #indiedev #boomershooter #FPS #gamedevelopment #GodotEngine #Godot4 #screenshotsaturday #retrogame pic.twitter.com/tohyAHFLtL

And whatever it ends up being, I’m really enjoying the look of this from the developer behind Godbeast Mk.II:
