Hey everyone, I'm Regina, video game artist & art director of Dungeons of Hinterberg. I'll try and share some more art and game stuff on here :)

We recently switched from Slack to matrix.org for all our internal communications. Feels good to rely on an open protocol that makes it easy to also move between platforms and clients! What are you using for day-to-day development chats?

We tried out the Mac version of Gibbon on visionOS's new ultrawide virtual display. Gibbon feels epic on that massive curved screen! 🐒🏞️📺

the % of refunds is much more related to the expectations you set on your storepage than anything else. if you tell people they can expect a one hour game and the game is actually one hour long, refunds tend to stay in the average 5% range. if you falsely advertise your game, refunds skyrocket.

Gibbon will be playable in the Welcome Lounge at the NEXT LEVEL Festival in Dortmund from 14 to 17 November. How cool! At NEXT LEVEL you can expect many exciting program highlights that blur the boundaries between art, technology and gaming. www.next-level.digital/programm/gib...
