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

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 :(
“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.

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