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.
That's one tree you don't wanna mess with 🌳👊🏼 #GameDev #IndieDev #ScreenShotSaturday https://t.co/zvQhq4n7d0 pic.twitter.com/DM335w6eY6

I hear ya. Better leaf that guy alone or he’ll snap (you) like a twig!
I don't always code games as my hobby, but when I do, this is my level editor. #toolatefor #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/J4kQC2nkSK

Great place for a hike – if the trees weren’t bathed in purple. So uncanny!
