From the Living Room to Wherever This Goes

Right now, Roach Clip Games is a one-person independent game studio being run out of my living room.

This is the current headquarters.

It might not look like much compared to the offices of a big game studio, but this is where Harborage Street is being designed, modeled, built, tested, and brought to life. The same room where I'm working on the game today is where the idea of Roach Clip Games is becoming an actual company.

And honestly? I'm pretty proud of that.

The goal isn't to stay here forever.

As the studio grows, I'd eventually like to move into a small dedicated studio/office space where I can have a proper development environment, display builds, bring in collaborators and playtesters, and have a place that feels like the home of Roach Clip Games.

And there's another part of the long-term plan that I'm particularly excited about:

A Roach Clip Games van.

Eventually, I'd love to have a small mobile setup that we can take to conventions, expos, indie showcases, and gaming events around the country. Something we can load up with PCs, promotional material, merchandise, and playable builds of our games and actually take the studio on the road.

I'd love to be able to show up at a convention hundreds of miles away, set up a little Roach Clip Games booth, and let people play something that started development right here in this living room.

That's obviously a long way off. For now, it's just me, a computer, a living room, and a game that I'm determined to finish.

But that's kind of the point.

Every studio has to start somewhere.

This is where Roach Clip Games starts.

And if everything goes well, someday I'll be able to look back at this picture and say:

"This was the first office."
