Speculating Screenshots (7th February 2015)

February 10th, 2015 Wraithkal Feature

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…

Eggnogs! Wait, where’s mine? Probably in one of them massive kegs. If Frogbert and/or Egbert haven’t emptied them already, that is.

But… that’s just one room. Where’s the rest of the house? Where is it?! Maybe we’ll see more of Chloe’s quarters/home next #ScreenshotSaturday? Maybe.

“Die, spider!”? I like the way this one thinks! Death to spiders and other creepy crawlers. Oh right, the game looks pretty cool too, if a tad old-school.

999 hearts? Methinks someone’s cheating. Then again, if the dev can’t cheat in his/her own creation… ya know? Also, that sign above the shop – was the writer intoxicated? Jokes aside, that 2D paper-ish look sure is stylish.

A little bit late, but #screenshotsaturday Next week want to finish big feature. Stay tuned! #gamedev #indiegame pic.twitter.com/yMf53A0XUM

Oho! A train robbery? Where do I sign up? Wait, something tells me the player is actually in charge of defending it against dastardly outlaws, as opposed to a case of plundering. Ah well. Still looks like a good time.

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.
