Every weekend, indie developers show off current work on Twitter''s #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eyes has been caught by ghosts, a Midwest mall goth, immersive sim object-fiddling, and a whole lot of trendy violence.
Hauntii, a ghostly twin-stick shooter, remains intriguing (coming to Steam):

I can see why early work-in-progress may be successful in Kingdom Hearts fashion, but no, it''s Hot Topic mall goth. I think there''s one subtle but substantial distinction between that aesthetic and Kingdom Hearts, the energy drinks:

I try not to post the same game too often but after last week I encouraged immersive sim Spectra to make its new cigarette machines interactive (and I applauded the RPS commenter''s "poliovaccine" suggestion that cigarettes in immersive sims should be a social currency allowing you to enter conversation with smokers), but it would be irresponsible if I didn''t follow up and point out that yes, the dev has now made them dispense packets:
#screenshotsaturday I decided to bite the bullet and make the cigarette machine sell cigarettes. Costs 75 cents and alternates randomly between extra wides and menthols. Yes, you will be able to smoke them. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #imsim #ue5 pic.twitter.com/Y2yF4X4JTY
In Interior Worlds, I cannot resist all of these items to do so.
I couldn''t stop myself and added a custom interaction system for Interior Worlds.Is there any reason to do it? No- but it looks cool-#indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/UdZoj2Qm1g
FPS Voidborn (coming to Steam) is a skater''s fantasy.

With Godbeast Mk.II (coming to Steam), which has more GIFs to admire if you click on through to the entire tweet, we continue the stylish violence:

Ah, let''s have a last touch of luxury violence, from V.A Proxy (coming to Steam):

Okay, let''s go back to Steam with some mixed dual-wielding from immersive sim-ish sneak-o-shooter Peripeteia:
Marie''s Dual Wield ability. Makes it possible to mix and match any combination of guns (no matter how ridiculous), while also eliminating the ability to reload and grab ledges.Can you guess what the other new implant might be?#indiedev #indiegame pic.twitter.com/575LFTq5D8
I cannot resist water simulation, like in this action-adventure RPG Alakenisland demo pit (out now in Steam Early Access):
With Fluid Simulation #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #madewithunreal pic.twitter.com/9U5vur2UJn, it''s time to get some Waterbending.
Let''s conclude the day with one of the game''s easiest delights, a nice sunset from Theater - The Game (free beta available on Itch):
