Screenshot Saturday Sundays: Killer phrases, quiet snowboarding and the factor within the desert


Screenshot Saturday Sundays! It’s terrible windy out, so let’s collect across the kitchen desk and see what screenshots, gifs, and clips have been supplied up by the game growth neighborhood over the previous couple of days. This week: there’s one thing within the sands, a quiet winter break, wobbly junkyard airships and murderous vocabulary.

All arms on deck for our first vessel, a vibrant sky-bound cargo from Hyperluminal inventive director Rob Madden.

Madden’s airships are consciously cribbing from Scottish artist Ian McQue. But that’s alright, actually, as a result of McQue’s cobbled-together mechanics had been most likely the perfect little bit of The Signal From Tölva‘s quiet open-world robot romp. Currently, in the works as an unnamed side project, Madden’s ship is steering itself in the direction of being a moderately handsome exploration and supply journey via the skies.

Between a world lockdown on journey and it being the peak of Summer, now’s hardly the time for a ski journey… proper?

I do fairly miss snowboarding, thoughts. It’s been a decade or so since I final hit the slopes, however Au fil de l’eau developer Samson Auroux’s easy slope is already setting my nostalgia racing. It’s good to see a much less arcadey strategy to snowsports, too, choosing the quiet crunch of the snow below your skis as you tentatively path your first route down a brand new hillside.

Mashing keyboards with weapons is nothing new (hey, Typing Of The Dead). But early entry shooter Maximum Action actually, actually desires your enemies to eat their phrases.

The apparent spotlight of the clip is when Szymanski backs out into Windows explorer, opens up a notepad file, and modifications the phrases blasted out of his literary handgun – including a stunning, personalised contact to every kill. After all, why go to the difficulty of engraving your goal’s identify on a bullet when you possibly can blast them with their very own identify?

Finally – should you’ve been listening to my run at Screenshot Saturday Sundays over the previous couple of months, you’ll know nothing will get me excited greater than large buildings in empty areas.

Yahia Zakaria would possibly simply be tooling round with Unity, however I’m desperately curious to see the place this monitor leads. Repeated pylons, huge complexes and a trembling mass watching over all of it – frankly, this scene could be proper at dwelling with the far future tourism of Connor Sherlock’s Walking Simulator A Month Club.
