Game Music Composition Interview with Rosewater’s Mark Benis – Game & Gadget Podcast 40
I interview Mark Benis, music composer of Rosewater, a point and click adventure game set in the wild west and released in 2024.
#Rosewater hat ein Release-Date (27. März) und einen neuen Trailer. Werde ich höchstwahrscheinlich in der ersten Woche nach Veröffentlichung spielen.
Sei jedem Adventure-Fan ans Herz gelegt. Der Vorgänger, Lamplight City (selbes Alternativuniversum, aber Viktorianisches England statt Western), war großartig, mit dem vielleicht besten Voice-Acting, das ich in Indie-Games dieser Liga kenne. Und die RW Demo hat mich gleich angefixt.
Some shots from El Presidio, "The Mouth of the West."
I commissioned @JuliaMinamata to do the art for some mystic cards in #RosewaterGame. She sent the finals to me today and they look great!
You may know him as Lee Everett in The Walking Dead, the shopkeeper in King's Quest VI, the voice of Hulu, or any number of other roles.
I'm honored to have Dave Fennoy in #RosewaterGame!
The treadmill was a great investment! Decided to go back and redo a couple of walk cycle views for Harley I wasn't satisfied with.
L: Original R: New version
Big difference!
You'll probably recognize Gavin Hammon as Kenny in Telltale's The Walking Dead or as Stan in Tales/Return to Monkey Island.
In #RosewaterGame he plays Gentleman Jake, one of your more...talkative companions.
Legendary voice actors Neil Ross (GI Joe, Transformers) and Cam Clarke (TMNT, MGS) worked together on a western point & click adventure once.
Thirty years later, they’re doing it again! #RosewaterGame #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #pointandclick
Old school adventure fans will probably recognize Leilani Jones-Wilmore as the Voodoo Lady in the Monkey Island games, Malia Gedde in Gabriel Knight, or Cora Miles in The Dig.
In #RosewaterGame she plays Lola Johnson, one of your companions.
Live now with WILD WEST WEDNESDAY!
Join me as I code a companion excursion in Rosewater.
Join me today at 1pm EST for WILD WEST WEDNESDAY! I’ll be coding one of the companion excursions in #RosewaterGame
When it comes time to hunt for food, you can choose your game. Just make sure you can carry enough of it back to the wagon :D

Hit a small milestone this morning: all non-companion NPC voiceover has been imported into #RosewaterGame's first act!
To celebrate, enjoy a sermon!
A Western adventure game needs some cinematic opening titles to get you in the mood! I'm pretty happy with how these are coming along.
Harley is a wr-...well, she writes (and boy does she) but *you* get to choose how she frames her article. That level of interactivity is what I love about adventure games.
(Also props to @MurphySays
for reading these super long lines in one breath)
Really excited to hear more of the conversations in #RosewaterGame coming to life. Here's a short preview:
Thinking about making some short (30 second) companion-specific trailers for #RosewaterGame. Would this be interesting to you if you're looking forward to the game?
Would you want to see them before or after a "normal" trailer is released?
Sometimes you just have to reach for the low-hanging fruit. #RosewaterGame
My upcoming #pointandclick #adventure game is Rosewater, a thrilling treasure hunt in an alternate Wild West!
Join Harley Leger and her ragtag posse as they journey across the frontier in search of a missing fortune.
You can play the fully-voiced demo on Steam and wishlist it, too! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/Rosewater/
