2nd Year of Mankibo: Let’s Celebrate Our Milestone!

Jul 1, 2024 | News

In today’s blog, I, Boy Dozan, am once again personally writing about our celebratory journey for our 2nd Anniversary. July 1, 2024, marked our second birthday! We know 2 years is young compared to other top companies, or even several game companies in Indonesia. But I want to keep writing anniversary blogs each year to celebrate our small milestones as a company.

Some Stories

From July 1, 2023, to July 1, 2024, we’ve had a lot of stories to share:

  • We went to Gamescom Cologne for the first time. This was actually my first time flying aboard to Europe as well! We represented the Indonesia pavilion and pitched our game, Montabi, to many game publishers.
  • We participated in IGDX. We showcased our vertical slice, pitched Montabi, and conducted an Indie Mix Party at Bali with several friends, including Arsanesia, Masshive Media, Glory Jam, and Mythic Protocol.
  • We also participated in Motion Ime Festival by the Windah team and G2G Festival by The Lazy Monday to playtest our vertical slice build.
  • We helped with 9 outsourced projects in this past year. We thank our partners for trusting us with their projects.
  • We received hundreds of constructive feedback from publishers and testers regarding Montabi.

In this opportunity, I want to express my sincere gratitude to:

  • The hard work and fighting spirit of our manki’s and interns.
  • The various companies and people who helped us in the past year.
  • Our partners who believed in us to handle their projects.
  • Our friends, media, developers, and publishers in the industry who keep sharing insights, opportunities, and the struggles we all face.

We hope this small celebration motivates us to keep moving forward, stay grateful for our sustainability, and continue building a healthy and supportive environment within Mankibo. It also serves as a reminder of the many people and friends who have helped us along the way, from opportunities like Gamescom to pitch deck reviews, event invitations, and so much more.

Once again, a sincere thank you to all of you!

Finally, our journey hasn’t been all smooth sailing. There have been plenty of challenges and bumps along the road, including our work on Montabi. We’re making some major improvements to the game, and we’ll share them when it’s ready.

See you on our 3rd-year anniversary celebration blog!
