So, as we are nearing launch of Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, we thought it might be interesting to talk a little bit about the background of how the game came to be. Make yourself cozy, it’s story time!
Gibbons are amazing animals and their plight, as that of many other wildlife animals, is real and incredibly tragic. With this game we hope to raise awareness about these issues. For more information, please visit

We managed to persuade
@Ungapants
of Snipperclips and Tangle Tower fame to work with us on the art direction of the game. We don’t want to toot our own horn (yes we do), but please look at these group of singing frogs. Expect greatness!
Long story short, David was up for the challenge and soon delivered a prototype that got everyone pretty excited. Here’s a shot capture of a build from many moons ago.
While developing Gibbon we learned that
@GibbonProject
and
@gibbonsociety
dedicate enormous efforts, passion and love in getting poached gibbons back into the jungle.

From a playing perspective, the game is about smooth, free form movement that is modeled after brachiation, the unique form of locomotion that gibbons employ to move through the canopies.
Creating a lush & vivid jungle was one of the first visual goals for Gibbon: Beyond the Trees. Here are some early sketches & concept art by art director
