September 9, 2019 \u2013 Hiber AB announced that game industry veteran Matthew Wilson has joined the company\u2019s board of directors. Wilson participated in the company\u2019s recently announced Seed Round through his investment company, Wild Sloths OY.

\u201cHiber is poised to really extend the market for making and playing games to hundreds of millions of new people who are currently limited due to programming, financial, and hardware barriers,\u201d said Matthew Wilson. \u201cThe team is very impressive, and the beta version of the platform has already proved its inherent virality. It\u2019s going to be big.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn just a few weeks since the close of our funding round, we have already brought in additional talented development resources that will accelerate our time to market,\u201d said Michael Yngfors, CEO of Hiber AB. \u201cAdding Matthew to our board is another validation point and his experience and insight are already helping guide the company to greater success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In HiberWorld<\/a>, people don\u2019t need to know how to code in order to become a creator. They just need an idea for a game, and the passion to build it. Anyone can make even more complex games if they have programming skills, but HiberWorld is for everyone, regardless of their skill set. Currently, Hiber has a beta version released, an updated version coming in the next few months, and a roadmap for some pretty jaw-dropping tools that will truly expand the opportunity for creating games and entertainment, while allowing for more complexity as well, all in a browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiber is leveraging the billions of devices where games and entertainment can currently be consumed and enabling creators to target those devices while building their own entertainment experiences to share with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
