Every weekend, indie TV shows off current work on Twitter''s #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I provide you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eyes has been tucked by ghosts, a Midwest mall goth, immersive sim object-fiddling, and a lot of sophisticated violence.
Hauntii, a ghostly twin-stick shooter, is still a fan of Steam:

I might see why early work-in-progress has Kingdom Hearts style, but no, it''s Hot Topic mall goth. I think there''s a subtle but significant distinction between that aesthetic and Kingdom Hearts, the energy drinks:

I''m not suggesting the same game often, but after last week I encouraged immersive sim Spectra to make its new cigarette machines interactive (and I was very pleased with the suggestion from RPS commenter "poliovaccine" that cigarettes in immersive sims should be a social currency allowing you to enter conversation with smokers), and it would be irresponsible if I didn''t follow up and point out that yes, the developer has now made them dispense packets:
I decided to bite the bullet and make the cigarette machine actually 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
I cannot resist all of these objects to fiddle with in the Interior Worlds, as said before.
I couldn''t stop myself and added an interaction system for Interior Worlds. Is any of it necessary? No- but it looks cool-#indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/UdZoj2Qm1g
FPS Voidborn, a Skeleton-parrying, looks absolutely my bag:

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

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

Okay, let''s get some mixed dual-wielding from immersive sim-ish sneak-o-shooter Peripeteia (coming to Steam) too:
Marie''s Dual Wield abilities is perfect for any gun mix (no matter how ridiculous), sacrificing the ability to reload and grab ledges.Can you guess what the other new implant might be? #indiedev #indiegame pic.twitter.com/575LFTq5D8
Like in this action-adventure RPG Alakenisland demo pit (out now in Steam Early Access) I cannot resist water simulation:
With fluid simulation #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #madewithunreal pic.twitter.com/9U5vur2UJn, you''ll have time to do some Waterbending.
Let''s finish with one of the game''s easiest pleasures, a nice sunset from Theater - The Game (free beta available on Itch):
