Every weekend, indie developers showcase their work in progress on Twitter #screenshotsSaturday label. And every Monday, I offer you a selection of these shots and clips. This week is another shortie because Twitter is broken again and refusing to show any posts from the weekend, which certainly bodes ill for the social media platform. Games are always good. Step into an immersive simulation with a little clever tech trick, a city adventure game on a giant octopus, egg throwing, and more attractive and interesting indie games.
The plug & play dream comes to life in the immersive ETOS simulation:

flamingos get their color from beta-carotene, so would it make sense for flamingos to throw carrots? I don’t know? Did Gamedev break my brain?#screenshotsSaturday #gamemaker #indiedev pic.twitter.com/zGxu8gdliL

Echostasis (coming to Steam, with a demo there and on Itch now) continues to deliver such vibes:
Pardon my absence.
I’ve put all my thoughts into completing the culminating final chapter of my horror trilogy, [ECHOSTASIS]arrives later this year.

I can’t imagine much will go wrong entering eldritch space structures in Lovecraftian’s RPG Spacefighter Underspace (coming to Steam, with a demo on Itch and IndieDB now):
The ancient alien things now speak in ancient aliens. Thought I’d save any kind of scrambled text for real eldritch stuff.#subspace #Game development #unity3d #screenshotsSaturday #indiedev #indie game #madewithunity #indiegamedev #spacegame #space #Game development pic.twitter.com/8jf6KdK21i

Looking at this new feature for Beast Mode: Night Of The Werewolf (available now on Steam), I can’t help but imagine them as sentient and hostile bagpipes. Floating around their bag with a constant ominous tone, the drones clashing like bones, screaming battle cries over the blowtorch…
I’ve spent the last 10 hours working on a new model for the next Beast Mode: Night of the Werewolf update 🙂#IndieGameDev #indie game #screenshotsSaturday pic.twitter.com/CDOIHVww6L
