Speculating Screenshots (25th April 2015)

April 28th, 2015 Wraithkal Feature
Speculating Screenshots (25th April 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. So without further ado…

Tali-what-now? Somehow I don’t think that’s an officia– hey look, a grinning wall-skull!

Kinda looks like the cat’s trying to tell her something, doesn’t it? Chances are it wants to say “get out of this creepy lab while you still can!”. Or not.

Oh, much better! #letscookjam #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/fWtGl8GLNc

FOOD! Cheese, slices of bread, strawberries… who’d have thought a game could look so delicious? Not entirely sure what’s going on though, but still – food!

Highway to the dangerzone! Or something. Nice looking plane, that one. Shame it’s about to get blasted by an incoming missile…

Show of hands, who doesn’t love giant tetraminos, really? Hard to tell what he’s making at this point though, but c’mon, tetraminos! And Pentominos! TETRIS! YEAH!

I now have dark levels and teleporters. 🙂 #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/GYSMu0mML4

Kinda reminds me of an old arcade game, albeit with creepy lighting effects and big-headed characters. In a good way, if that’s possible.

….and you start to become something else… #screenshotsaturday #thedreamking #multiplayer #metroidvania pic.twitter.com/1tP2FZnqFC

Not gonna lie. This one had me at multiplayer metroidvania. That was all I needed. Also, exactly what is that ‘something else’, eh? What indeed.

I smell a stealth game in the making, and a potentially great one at that. I mean, if not for stealthiness, what else could that sound indicator/bar in the upper right corner be, after all? Exactly.

Wow. That looks much too complex for me, but… nice nonetheless. A mirror-based laser puzzler, perhaps?

I’m just gonna assume the ‘snake’ is not that huge dark gray thing. Assume and pray, as that would be both crazy and difficult to control. Then again…

Hey look, cloud gaming! Cloud fighting? Well, aerial combat in any case, and darn stylish at that.

I see conveyor belts and slopes, but where’s the prota– ah, must be that tiny little fella. Wait, noise modulating?

Ice stage done, next stage: hot! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #RigidForceAlpha pic.twitter.com/5hYswKZkg1

Rigid Force Alpha (@com8com1)
Yay, more side-scrolling action, and with a forecast saying it’ll be… hot! That thing in the lower left corner better not be number of lives available though. I mean, 98?!

A gameplay screenshot to end our #screenshotsaturday teasers. Thanks for joining us today. More next week, promise. pic.twitter.com/m4Dov9WeAR

Where the heck did that guy crash? Or rather, on which planet, and how is he still alive given the state of his ship? So many questions needing answers!

Nothing quite like a massive explosion to wrap up this week’s Speculating Screenshots, eh? Oh and tank you very much for reading (get it?).

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.
