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.

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.

“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.

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 👻

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.

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...

Jack Chapman @shakainc.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

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

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/...
