That's right, DUAL PROTAGONISTS for Boltgun II! Very honoured to be contributing to this project alongside a bunch of outrageously talented individuals. #BoltgunII

Talkshow shenanigans

A great time on Thursday, headling @cpxmcr.bsky.social's event 'PLATFORM'. It was a privilege to show off ROOST and catch-up with friends new and old. Big thanks to @thatsnogreg.bsky.social and the rest of the great folks at CULTPLEX for continuing to host such a fantastic event in Manchester.

"Good evening. I'm Declan Harker, thank you for joining me. Tonight's episode, we'll be returning to an old case..."

"...and now on BTN, a step into the supernatural."

I might have just conceptualised and prototyped the best character driven Save / Safe Room idea ever.

Delays. Always fuckin' delays.

Finally decided to give Declan some legs

It's been a while. I realised that it's been a year since I first started chucking around ideas & concepts for ROOST. I haven't been able to give the project the time it deserves the last 6 months or so. Hoping to carve out some time soon.

Still thinking about the underwater sequence from the new Mission Impossible. An incredible bit of movie magic.

Halo 2 and 3 vinyls arrived. Of course I forgot my record player is currently busted :(

Time-lapse for those interested!

“I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts.” Finished with this Stellan Skarsgård // Andor study. About 6 hours of struggling and persevering. Art is hard.

Over 7,000 Wishlists on Steam. Thanks for coming along for the journey.

Officially been at @aurochdigital.bsky.social for a year. Was great to be in the studio yesterday and to see this massive Boltgun piece up close and personal.

"Welcome to your happy place." Beyond excited to reveal the official key-art for ROOST - created by the talented Ollie Jones. Check out more of their work here: www.instagram.com/olliemnjones... Wishlist ROOST here: store.steampowered.com/app/3137450/...

...hello?

Officially over 6,000 Wishlists for ROOST. Thanks again for helping spread the word. Making a game in my spare time is effort and progress is slow but we'll get there in the end. Thank you 👻

🎅🎄 All I Want for Christmas is to hit the next milestone 🎅🎄 We're less than 60 Wishlists away from hitting the 6,000 Wishlists for ROOST. I'd love to leave 2024 with that hit. Shares are appreciated as always ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/3137450/...

I made a #horror game dev starter pack! ⚰️ Specifically for solo devs or small teams. Includes people like @pataloon.bsky.social @mikeklubnika.bsky.social @shakainc.bsky.social, etc Suggestions and recommendations very much appreciated. go.bsky.app/SEpmtce

It genuinely takes about 5 minutes of someone showing a passing interest in your game and asking a question or two to make it feel all worth it.

-shows up wearing ceasefire pin -talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs -denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms -takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives -doesnt name drop any celebs forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

Fleshing out an area. Maybe a demo coming...

Always check in with your neighbours. #ps1horror #liminal #retrohorror

There's no charity to be found on this dreary Monday morning.

I get asked a lot about the name ROOST for my game. All I'll say is, there's a little song by @bigblackdelta.bsky.social from 2011 that may have been the main inspiration for it...

art vs artist would people be interested in developer logs of the creation of ROOST? Im flirting with the idea of doing a small vidoc type thing. thoughts? #unreal #ps1 #lowpoly #indiegame #liminal #gamedev #ps1horror #indiehorror #horrorgame

Less than 200 Wishlists to go before we hit the 6k Milestone 🤯 #indiedev #indiehorror #ps1horror

Thanks to everyone who has showed support for ROOST so far. Thanks alot ❤️ #indiehorror #ps1horror #survivalhorror

ROOST has reached 5,000 Wishlists on Steam. Thank you for every bit of help of getting there. Every like, every share, every comment. Every little helps. 👻

👻🚨 Update! 👻🚨 We're biting at the heels of 5,000 Wishlists on Steam. It would mean the world to hit that milestone before the end of the month. Any shares, retweets or Wishlists are massively appreciated. Check out the Steam page 👇 lnkd.in/egqC2ZDE

Four games I've worked on:

Happy THRESHOLD Launch Day to @pataloon.bsky.social From me and Declan, congrats on reaching the finish line after grafting for the past 1.5 years. They'd be no ROOST if not for seeing Julien taking a stab at indie! Go and support it folks. store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/...

I’ve been working on a retro-leaning first-person survival horror game, called Something in the Water. In this first devlog, I dive into the origins of the project and talk about my motivations going forward 🔪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=weYy... #gamedev
