He shares his current project, Roost, which integrates personal experiences and inspirations from classic horror games while exploring themes of the UK’s North-South divide through retro aesthetics. Jack discusses the shift towards shorter, narrative-driven indie games, his collaborative approach using platforms like Fiverr, and the importance of atmosphere in horror. He also highlights the necessity of supporting independent projects, offering insights into his vision for Roost and the indie horror landscape.Follow Jack and progress of ROOST on X https://x.com/ShakaInc and Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/shakainc.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JackChapmanDesignTikTok: roost.game" Created & Hosted by Dan MorrisBuilding Horror Theme by @doom_doodIf you would like to support Building Horror, Fearzine and independent games media, please purchase the magazine or donate via tips or our Ko-Fi Page.
