history

Mango Protocol was founded in 2013 by Mariona Valls Porta and Javier Galvez Guerrero. Porta holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and Guerrero has a degree in Telecommunications Engineering and Video Game Development. In late 2013, they teamed up to create their own stories through video games. Porta takes care of all the visual aspects of game creation, while Guerrero takes care of the design and programming.

Together with Jordi Garcia Cuesta they developed two prototypes for the Global Game Jam. In 2014 they developed Causeffect and in 2015 Magnet Arena . For their first commercial game, MechaNika , Guillem Vilamala Serrano contributed music to the game while Adam Giles Levy translated it from Spanish to English. The game was released on July 16, 2015 and was later translated into French, German, and Russian.

In October 2015, Jordi Garcia Cuesta officially joined the team to help develop games. A year later, in October 2016, the team expanded to include Èric Verdalet Arnó as programmer and Carmen Vidal González as animator. Her second game, Agatha Knife, is a prequel of her first game and was released on April 27, 2017.
