🎂 10 YEARS OF SAIBOT! 🎉

Hello, people! How are you? How did you started 2022? 🤓

In a day like today, but from 2012, we officially started a crazy adventure called Saibot that continues to date. Actually, the very begginning was in 2011 with the conceptualization and prototype of what ended up being our first title Doorways (read more). But it wasn't until March of 2012 that, after I partened with my Uncle and friend Ivan Rusjan, we finally started working as a team. We built the first Saibot "office", which was actually my room along side the bed and at my Mom's department, and we used some old tables as desks that my Grandma gave us ❤️ And from then, a lot of enechdotes and experiences started hapenning. With tons of fails and drop downs, but also with some wins, we were able to keep going to date doing what we love the most: creating our own games and delivering them all over the world 🌎 So I decided to take some time to build and share with you a quick recap of some of the main milestones we have achieved together with you during the last 10 years of Saibot...
