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.
Recap of the week: From last monday, a very nice level #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indiedevhour #GameMaker pic.twitter.com/igK9un4A2g
