Speculating Screenshots (11th April 2015)

April 14th, 2015 Wraithkal Feature

For most, weekends mean two days off work with some much-needed R&R. But for game developers, it’s a time during which they get to show off what they’ve been working on. I am of course referring to Screenshot Saturday, which involves tweeting screenshots with the #ScreenshotSaturday hashtag; some of which I will be critiquing every Tuesday, in Speculating Screenshots.

A lost code? To what, exactly? Also, what’s the deal with those three odd looking characters? Yup, kicking off Screenshot Speculations this week with… questions!

Ah, treehouses. The escape-from-everything place for most kids, and even some adults (but… let’s not go there). In this case it looks more like a getaway for animals of the forest, though?

Ha! If only more games had that feature. Although come to think of it, I guess that would require them be either text adventures, or have the player utilize some sort of microphone while playing. Oh well. Anyway, yay, IF!

This week we announced our NES-inspired game Alwa’s Awakening. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev pic.twitter.com/xL3pRMN4wh

Holy crap, that’s a lot of spiked balls. Game looks good though, even if I’m a tad worried it’ll be another one of them brutally difficult platformers that I’m generally rubbish at. Could still be great though!

It's #screenshotsaturday!!!

#ScreenshotSaturday with a twist of stealth, it seems? At least that’s what comes to mind, whenever I see a top-down perspective and light cones angled like that. Love the style though, stealth or not.

You can destroy a chair in a library ! This is pure madness. Really.#screenshotsaturday #gamedev pic.twitter.com/1HAuwTWJ2u

But can you get away with it? See, that is the question. Librarians tend to be a mean bunch after all, or at least, in my experience. That aside, nice to see another isometric turn-based RPG!

“Face”, eh? I see what you did there. Jokes aside, that better be a boss fight. It better be. It has to be, because… face-off. Alright, I’m done.

Whenever a big AAA title claims it'll "innovate with groundbreaking features", it usually turns out to be a snore-fest; one which simply mimics other games (poorly). This is where my interest indie game interest comes from: pick a random title from a pile of these, and chances are you’ll end up with something genuinely unique - often for well less than $60 too.
