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.
Some new adventures of Captain Rogers are coming! Bigger, better and with more ginger mustache! #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/wor3A79faW

Man, that mustache. And that musket-ish gun. Epic.
First mock-up for Space Delver. I'd really prefer a slanted camera angle. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart pic.twitter.com/xfFLSPFTff

Helps to have a nap. Doubt the protagonist will be anytime soon though.
