Screenshot Saturday Sundays! Like some form of digital bake-off, game builders throughout the land provide up their best works-in-progress to be scrutinised on a Twitter hashtag. Once extra I – the Mary Berry of screenshot judging – should hand-pick a few of this weekend’s greatest choices. This week: Scandinavian snowdrifts, exceptionally gifted canines, and grossly impractical firearms.
Put in your snowshoes, readers. We’re beginning out with a romp by way of Röki‘s glacial woods.

I’ve seen Röki kicking about for some time, although it’s often framed extra intimately. Up-close photographs of the principle character’s delightfully expressive animations and the like. Headed up by former Guerrilla Games artwork administrators Tom Jones and Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou, builders Polygon Treehouse have managed to create some gorgeous nordic landscapes for his or her journey by way of Scandinavian folklore. Röki is ready to launch on Steam someday later this yr.
Don’t take off these gloves simply but. Claudio Norori and his canines are taking us for a quiet experience by way of Arctico.

I’ve undoubtedly talked about it in passing on the positioning (and exhausted my associates by repeating the story over the past seven years), however I spent a protracted winter coaching sled canines manner again. For two months in Norway, then one other two months within the far north of Finland, I volunteered with two totally different trainers – taking sixty Greenland racing canines across the forests north of Oslo, earlier than dealing with over ninety Siberian and Alaskan Huskies as we took vacationers across the wilderness round Levi.
Hard work, positive, but when it was a quiet day we’d be free to take a number of the extra excitable Huskies out on a 5km loop ourselves. Claudio Norori’s game could be a bit additional north, however that sundown vista over a frozen wilderness threw me proper again – even when I don’t count on he’s too involved with emulating the tedious work of chipping frozen shit out of kennels. Arctico is at present in early entry over on Steam, although it appears to be like like Norori desires it to launch in full very quickly.
Sorry, uh. Where have been we?

He may not be a superb racing mutt, however this canine’s nonetheless a dang good boy. Immediately, Gameboy Advance-styled motion platformer Goodboy Galaxy is killing it with the small particulars. Look at his wee tongue wagging! Look at that bounce and squash as he jumps!
Developers hot_pengu and exelotl are constructing from a prototype developed for Ludum Dare final December. It does a couple of attention-grabbing issues with disempowering the participant by way of varied loops, and is definitely price a poke over on Itch.
Closing us out this week: that’s, uh, definitely one technique to clear a room of uninvited company.

Real speak, I put this right here as a result of it jogged my memory fantastically of these TF2 joke weapons kicking round YouTube – particularly, the Force-Hundred-Nature. Arthur Zeferino’s one way or the other gone one higher in Fish Person Shooter. The manner everybody within the room drops lifeless, I’ve gotta think about the participant’s sporting some kinda hundred-barrelled hula hoop ’spherical their waist.
Bang, bang.
