That's right, DUAL PROTAGONISTS for Boltgun II!

Very honoured to be contributing to this project alongside a bunch of outrageously talented individuals.

Embodying fire and faith, Nyra Veyrath is a skilled and remorseless Celestian within the Sisters of Battle.

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.

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.

“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.

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 ❤️

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.
