“Players deserve better.”

There has never been a better time to carry out our mission. Mainstream games are developed to maximize revenue with little regard to their players. Interrupting play with offers and so-called “fake ads” are things you most likely experienced.

Many of those methods are now labeled as best practices in our industry and rarely challenged.

This is so games can make it in a very competitive market, where revenue from players gets reinvested in buying ads, instead of improving the game for its players.

There is a better way and this is why we founded Tribo.

“We believe that players deserve better and Web3 will bring that change. Digital ownership and open economies are perfect building blocks for us to create breakthrough multiplayer games with true staying power.”

Mika, CEO & Co-founder.

Players often spend large amounts of money on game assets they do not own. However, their investment is rarely valued and rewarded with new experiences.

Towards a better future.

This is where Web3 and Tribo come in. Tribo was founded by a group of industry veterans with extensive experience in building successful F2P games.

Each member of our current team has been in the gaming industry for well over a decade. We have worked at major studios such as King, PopCap, Kopla, Wooga, Flaregames, InnoGames, Square Enix, and Creative Assembly to name a few.

We have worked on Plant vs Zombies 1 & 2, Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Nonstop Knight 1 & 2, Knighthood, Switchcraft and many more.

Now we look to redefine the industry together with our players by developing Web3 games. Web3 supports empowered communities that can contribute to a game’s success. Also sustainable business models can be built on open economies and digital ownership.

“The opportunity is less about the tech and more about new design possibilities and the general expectation that there is a better way. Players are already demanding more from their games. Over the next few years F2P audiences will migrate to player-owned economies and new types of experiences built around them. We want to lead this transition with better game services and more fulfilling experiences.”

Borja, CPO & Co-founder.

We have raised €1,2M in a pre-seed round from well-established investors Play Ventures, Sisu Games Ventures, and Joakim Achrén. This gives us the opportunity to immediately focus on executing our mission in partnership with our community.

The journey ahead is exciting and we want to make sure we do not lose our ways while shaping this new future with you. The possibilities are endless but not all options will fit our goals.

“At this point, we are focused on designing a very strong foundation for the player-driven economy. The goal is not just to make our ecosystem resilient and “infinite”, but also lively and fun. This means designing appealing digital content that is smoothly embedded with the gameplay mechanics. It also means setting up support systems for constraints, goals, and rewards. We need to make sure that fun ways to play are also rewarding ways to play, and that harmful patterns don’t survive.”

Arto, Economy Lead & Co-Founder

There is no shortcut to building the quality of long-lasting multiplayer games we want our fans to enjoy and support. We want to work in the best interest of our players who we consider partners in this mission.

The future of gaming is yours

We want our communities to be partners in our process of creating innovative games.

Gaming communities are what fuel the soul of games through passion and empowerment. They push boundaries beyond anything we could have imagined. In most cases, they keep the flame alive.

Community initiatives that help games become successful are often taken for granted. eSport scenes, content creation, new ways to play games, etc… the list goes on.

We want to team up and revolutionize how games are developed, enjoyed, sustained, and expanded with communities. Together, we can lead the way for current and future generations of gamers.

“There is nothing more exciting and rewarding than seeing a community take a game to new frontiers. This is especially true if you have managed to let go of your control and accepted the fact that the community has achieved something way beyond what we could have ever imagined possible. When this happens, this is when I know we’ve made it. This is when I know we have built a strong community. Web3 principles and technologies are giving us opportunities to facilitate this experience. We are at an exciting chapter of our journey as both developers and gamers. This is not something we should take lightly and for granted. “

Nicolas Nottin — Community Lead

We care about values such as curiosity, diversity, respect, and support. We want to surround ourselves with ambassadors that relate to our journey as early as possible. We have created Flameys for that specific purpose.

Communities keep the flame alive.

To celebrate the company announcement, we have created an exclusive collection of 2000 unique NFTs we call “Flameys”. Flameys are portfolio NFTs aimed at those who have an interest in our mission and future projects.

Our Flameys will be FREE to mint (gas fee not included) in a one-time minting event.

All 2000 unique Flameys will be released during our minting event from October 13th, 2022 at 4:00 PM CET until October 14th, 2022 at 4:00 PM CET. We will also mint 10% of those 2000 Flameys for our treasury to grow our community stronger with activities in the future.

You need a spot on our allowlist to mint a Flamey. We have made the process as simple as possible to keep our community open to everyone who feels connected with our mission.

Join our Discord, verify your account, visit the #allowlist channel and add a valid wallet address between October 10th and October 13th at 2:00 PM CET. More links are available at the bottom of this page.

  • Early access to our games and future activities before everyone else
  • Special “Flamey Founder” roles within our community
  • More access to behind-the-scene content

We will look into expanding this list as Tribo and its community grow.
