With @brokenrulesgames.bsky.social we were the 72nd external company on Steam. In 2009, when it came out, there were only 396 other games released. Discoverability was no problem as every game got front page treatment.

Uh, what? Looks like we're actually prototyping again! *mind blown*

After 17 years of development, Caves of 1.0 is Out NOW! Live and Drink.

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?

Matrix.org

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...
