Screenshot Saturday Sundays: Snowboarding simians, neo-noir diners and an precise thriller

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! Our weekly fishing journey by an ocean of game jams, prototypes and keenness tasks. After noticing a selected palette in my screenshot tenure to date, I’ve determined to veto the color orange this week. Had to be accomplished, I’m afraid. Instead, we’ve bought snowboarding simians, time-hopping detectives and an actual blast from the previous.

Kicking issues off… I don’t suppose anybody’s bought a pair quid I can borrow for the arcade?

Modus Interactive is a well-known identify to anybody who frequents the retro indie scare scene, showing on the Haunted PS1 Demo Disk with drug-fuelled cat horror Neko Yume. They’re not solely excited about spooks although – pegged as a “don’t shoot ’em up”, their newest game is a trendy side-scroller about gathering intel and conserving your craft secure from an onslaught of enemy fireplace. It seems to be – and sounds – effortlessly convincing.

For all of the chilly and wind and rain we’ve suffered the previous couple of months, we’ve had a pitiful quantity of snow up north. Still, I’m not satisfied any of Slopecrashers‘ simian snowboarders are wrapped up nicely sufficient to be spraying powder like this.

I’ve an actual tender spot for snowboarding games, even once they’re not pushing a zoo down a chilly hill. I someway by no means ended up taking part in SSX again within the day, thoughts. Instead, my brother and I replayed the identical demo of TransWorld Snowboarding on Xbox, which I’m simply studying was developed by arcade kings Housemarque. Huh!

Byteparrot’s zookeeping-on-ice affair seems to be prefer it’ll focus extra on racing than freeform score-attacks, however it’s scratching the identical itch to get again on the digital slopes.

After all that pleasure, I believe it’s time to sit down again, seize a drink, and watch eight hours move within the blink of an eye fixed. Wait, what?

Neo-noir detective game Shadows Of Doubt is being developed by Cole Jeffries. Not usually the form of factor I’d go for, truthfully, till I caught an earlier #screenshotsaturday publish displaying some phenomenal seat-scooting. Now these are the form of mundane particulars masterpieces are product of. Shadows Of Doubt shall be becoming a member of us at EGX Rezzed in just a few weeks – one to take a look at if, like me, you’re unreasonably excited by a small chair-shuffling animation.

Finally, we’ve bought an actual enigma right here.

This Twitter account has been posting photos of one thing referred to as PRDXCL – together with actually weird, cryptic nonsense – for half a decade, underneath the event from definitely-real human being “P. Michalski”.

The working concept is that that is the subsequent game from Lone Survivor developer Jasper Byrne, regardless of him reportedly canning then-titled “New Game Plus” in 2012. PRDXCL’s social accounts popped up in 2015. They’ve posted a brand new picture of this hazy, 3D-with-sprites styled RPG a scant handful of instances every year, together with actually cryptic nonsense. I truthfully can’t inform if it is a lengthy play or some next-level shitposting.

Another thriller to control, then.
