For most, weekends means two days off work with some much-needed R&R. But for game developers, it’s also 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. Screenshots which I will be critiquing some of every single Tuesday, in Speculating Screenshots.
Different screenshots from different developers, all working on different games. Some are very much a WIP, while other are from titles rapidly approaching release. These tweets do all have one thing they in common though, which is that they feature actual screenshots (or at the very least, mockups), animated or stills.
Note: Speculating Screenshots will feature ten (maybe even fifteen) picks again starting next week. Simply didn’t have time to gather more for this one, and I’d rather publish it on time than delay it for (potentially) additional screenshots. That said, onto the colorful ‘commentary’…

WIP or not, I like where they’re going with it. Not sure where that is, but… I like it!
