Screenshot Saturday Sundays! We’ve handed the midpoint of the 12 months, readers, and whereas I’m positive this hellish 2020 nonetheless has loads of rubbish to throw our approach, we will at all times depend on this weekly dose of game dev screenshots to maintain our spirits excessive every Sunday. This week: Dodging hoovers, a sickening forest, the cutest cyberpunk and crimes in opposition to style.
We’re beginning out this week’s assortment with a little bit of illness. I do know, I do know, we’re all feeling the quarantine blues, however that hasn’t stopped our beaky pal right here from breaking into the woods.

For a sizzling second there I believed that was a cowboy, staring out on the frontier like some kind of evenly toon-shaded Arthur Morgan. But because the digicam dollies forwards, we see the plague masks, and the entire scene takes on a refined, extra sickening hue. The Serpent Rogue, a bleak little open-world that sees you navigating a diseased world filled with magical beasties to concoct a treatment for plague-ridden villagers.
I’ll admit to understanding little or no about style, what with my wardrobe consisting of some denims and a handful of black printed Uniqlo tees. But I can’t think about blasting strangers with a stitching equipment will brighten up their type.
Blast style criminals filled with pins and needles with the Tailormade!

Fashion Police Squad is a retro sprite FPS within the vein of your Dooms or Duke Nukems. But as a substitute of gunning down demons or cracking sensible over the corpses of aliens, you’re a paramilitary fashionista by the identify of Sergeant Des, cleansing the streets of horrific type crimes like day-glow tees or socks with sandals. I’m undecided what sort of authorized framework permits for this kind of rampant assault of pedestrians with leather-based belts, dye carbines and rocket-propelled wardrobes, thoughts – nor am I sure the jail industrial advanced is bettered by changing cells with catwalks.
You can throw sock gnomes at strangers, although, which actually makes this complete “videogames” lark worthwhile. Fashion Police Squad remains to be in improvement, however you may keep watch over it over on Steam.

I’ve put Pocket Wheels on this week’s lineup largely as a fond callback to “rats” maps of shooters previous. You know, those the place you’d be leaping and capturing across the insides of a PC or some child’s bed room, your burly spaceman shrunk to the scale of an ant. Pocket Wheels has that very same seem however with vehicles, letting you faux for only a second that you just’re Stuart Little drivin’ his wee R.C. sportscar away from Hugh Laurie, chased as a substitute by hellish hockey puck decided to brush the flooring of impurities.
Closing us out this week – While not a game per-say, I do hope Krzysztof Maziarz decides to flesh this beautiful diorama out into one thing playable.
Ok, that is the final one experiment.#madewithunity #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I’m instantly reminded of Oskar Stålberg’s Townscaper, a procedural building toy I’ve been watching like a hawk for months. Polish artist Maziarz’s little scene is a 3D reimagining of his earlier cyberpunk mockup illustration (pictured in header), portray a Stålberg-esque tower in pleasant rust and corrugated panelling.
Maziarz does seem to dabble within the occasional jam game, and I’d like to see how far he takes these pleasant dioramas.
