In this episode of Building Horror, we chat with Jack Chapman, a seasoned level designer, about his journey into indie horror game development. 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.
