Speculating Screenshots (27th August 2016)
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.
was going for nice geometric thick lines, but I sorta like the wiggly edges due to my bad math#screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/oYC4iNgmVL

Wiggly wiggly wild cardinal direction.

Must be some kick-ass flashlight he’s packing. Just saying.

Blur. Yup.
Still a bit in progress, but I've got enough to do a #ScreenshotSaturday, at least. #GameArt pic.twitter.com/1gNiqJoMV8

And I thought my shelves were overflowing with books (that I’ll likely never read).

Kicking it old skool. I had a wild hair to do a tri filler this morning (will be used later). #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/QwX34t04ls

Color me crazy, but I’m willing to bet that ‘thing’ on the right… is the antagonist!
