Could or not it’s? Should or not it’s? After two months away, Screenshot Saturday Sundays have returned beneath new administration. Every Saturday, game builders throughout the globe take to Twitter to share extraordinary works-in-progress beneath the hashtag #screenshotsaturday. This week, we’ve received creatures past comprehension, deserted theme parks, and the return of shotgun-propelled desk chairs.
What struck me first about Kamako was its physicality. Artist Balázs Rónyai’s hand-drawn areas have such a robust sense of place – a dim, dry warmth so acquainted I can nearly really feel the load of the panel scraping open.

Described on r/gamedev as “a hand-drawn adventure game about an orphan girl exploring an old, abandoned theme park, and meeting its inhabitants,” Rónyai has been posting pleasant pastel gifs of Kamako on their Twitter since at the very least May 2018. There are dozens of them, a curated collage of a forgotten house that I can’t wait to probe for myself.
While this subsequent critter would possibly seem like the type to hang-out an deserted amusement park, I reckon they’re an actual softie at coronary heart. I’ve been watching Constantin Liétard’s pet abomination develop for a while now. Watching it be taught to stroll, limb after limb after limb after limb after limb. It appears the poor factor’s not fairly scraped collectively social expertise, but.

A 3D programmer at Gameloft by day, Liétard’s been creating smaller game with Temporarily Unnamed Collective (Gearbox allegedly took ire on the group calling themselves Borderline Games. Bit of a stretch, eh lads?). The creepy crawler won’t have a reputation but, however that’s not stopped their creator from reimagining the many-legged monster in goose form. Untitled Goose-from-beyond-the-veil Game, maybe?
Now. I’m not saying that I spend half my weekend shift kicking a stool round an empty workplace. But I’m not not saying that, in the event you get me? Consequently, let’s examine in on inappropriate workplace conduct brawler Last Man Sitting.
spent a lot of the day fixing bugs for Last Man Sitting and tweaking recoil and slide values, in order that shifting round fells rattling good #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/GumXzTKeMK

Pegged as a cubicle-smashing battle royale, final we noticed the devs had spun it off into two-a-side kickabout Last Man Kicking. Two years later, they’re nonetheless pitching that preliminary desk-chair deathmatch, and it’s trying delightfully ridiculous.
Last up, and I’m dishonest a bit. This pretty vertical slice of Grapple Dog was posted final weekend however look, proper. We haven’t achieved certainly one of these in months. Let me off the hook, eh?
Platformers are ten-a-plenty on #screenshotsaturday. But developer Joseph Gribbins has actually nailed a selected Gameboy Advance look. Bright and daring, with a easy mechanic executed flawlessly. There’s a joyous sense of motion, and I’m excited to see how Grapple Dog’s challenges ramp up over time.
Still workin’ on a vertical slice/demo for Grapple Dog. I feel it is beginning to come collectively. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #GrappleDog #GameMaker pic.twitter.com/Qt4dkMxIA3
