Speculating Screenshots (1st August 2015)

August 4th, 2015 Wraithkal Feature
Speculating Screenshots (1st August 2015)

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.

Sure… “testing some stuff”. I believe ya. Right.

Looks like quite the in-progress bout there, but I can’t really tell who’s winning?

The gang is ready! #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #mobilegame #picoramagame #gamedesign pic.twitter.com/8VHMgaTZZT

Yeah, ready to get their ass kicked, by the look of things. They are heavily outnumbered after all!

Yay, spirit raising! Wait, “friendly interest”? Oh, THAT kind of spirit raising…

That'll be trails in and working then. #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/C9KfnHuRkI

Note quite pretty. More like, creepy as hell, with those skulls and all. Looks good though.

Seeing the past.. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/GeqI6QLYbE

— Ivan ??️?? (@Nothke) August 1, 2015

And… more weird stuff. Kinda doubt that’s how most people see the past?

Is it #screenshotsaturday yet? Yay! #gamedev #gameplay pic.twitter.com/HdGqJ08xCy

— Open Form Games (@OpenFormGames) August 1, 2015

Am I seeing things, or does that building have ‘Myamoto’ (Miyamoto?) written on it? Huh.

Hard to argue with that kind of logic!

Lost your communicator? Sign language #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart pic.twitter.com/mMLEKSB9Av

Woo! Old-school point ‘n click stuff! Wait, SIGN LANGUAGE?!

Seems to me, she’s already quite invisible?

Violence! Chaos! Destruction! Mayhem! Coins! Co-op!

#screenshotsaturday Who is five-eyes? Is he my ancestor, or our ancestor? #FULLMETALGOD #goodgame pic.twitter.com/oehtJHCssY

— Ken Young (@Kiokotakorps) August 1, 2015

“Five-Eyes”? “Purple Seal”? Ha! Even the developer is confused, it seems.

Well, I like the style, but based on that screenshot… a tad simplistic, no?

Happy #screenshotsaturday 😀 Here are some new Screenshots from #ToTum! This is a work in progress level 😀 #GameDev pic.twitter.com/OrqsjqUc1f

— Insert Imagination (@Team_ii) August 1, 2015

No kidding. So much WIP, that I can’t tell what’s going on! Seriously though, what’s the deal?

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.
