Long time since I posted in #screenshotsaturday, but the day has come, and it brings space dolphins and cosmic whales, it brings astronauts fighting for survival at the edges of the twilight zone.

@razbuten.bsky.social Check out my Roadwarden if you're interested in seeing a modern take of an RPG with a time limit.
A controversial part of the game to be sure, but supports everything about its design.
Will use it again. ; )

A scene from a date in a calm opening in the woods. A floating woman meets a young romantic. It went horribly.

Screenshots from Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. Isometric turn-based tactics gameplay. An XCOM-like HUD shows an initiative order of characters under the player's control with various enemies mixed in, and a security level meter that reacts to the player going loud or choosing to take a more stealth game approach.

Post image Zoomed out map overview of a tactical mission level for Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. Invisible, Inc.-like security devices are scattered across the map along with human and drone guards highlighted in red. The player has 4 squad members highlighted in green and can choose to take a combat, stealth, or mixed approach to completing objectives and getting their squad members to extraction points across the map.

There's a meditating melon-headed figure and the text says: "Melon Head's really well done. It's obviously a bit bizarre but that fits the point & click genre really well. Actually the inventory items are some of the most normal I've encountered, though the characters & story certainly aren't. Solid puzzles, no pixel hunting or broken logic, well-written, good sense of humour. It's a winner. "

Here's praise that Melon Head got from @cshpicone.bsky.social ! ๐Ÿคฉ I especially like the observation that despite the wacky nature of the game the inventory items are very normal, something that completely escaped me in development. Good stuff ๐Ÿซถ

Reminds me of a game of Savage Worlds I ran a long time ago. Was filled with Rakashan, Avian, etc. Cheers for the tip.

Deepest Chamber is excellent! I reviewed it a while back.

y0, everyone shout some cool and preferably unusual settings at me! Not Weird West as I'm already covering that elsewhere and I also want to avoid generic Western Fantasy. Everything else is probably fair game though, what have you got for me?

Man, I love the 80s. Post-80s was kinda the start of globalism - and in turn, the end of culture.
