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.

“Vaporizer Mode”? Sounds dangerous. I LIKE IT!

Honestly, I’d (probably) cheese it too. Totally get where he / she / it is coming from with that.

I agree with approximately a third of that statement.

Scene: Sofya just told a bad joke, and the cat’s acting slightly amused with a “well how about that!” pose. I think.

Something tells me he’s gonna need more than his agent to get out of that one.
