What is the story behind starting this company?
Moonmana was founded in 2008 by two young and devoted people passionate about games - Artyom Shpytiak and me, Iana Tkachenko. It was a dream come true. As in perfect synergy, we combined our efforts, experience, and knowledge and built a successful company that has been developing high-quality games for more than 14 years.
By the time Artyom decided to establish Moonmana, he had been an experienced software developer, but game development was his true passion. So he started his journey as an indie developer creating games on his own and then founded a company that is still growing. Moonmana’s first successful game was our own IP Pirates of Everseas which earned $2 million. That was the turning point for the company.
Artyom is in charge of the company’s strategy and production departments, while my responsibility is the company's growth and customer success.

What is your company’s business model – in-house team or third-party vendors/outsourcing?
Moonmana works according to the business models of outsourcing and outstaffing.
Outsourcing is a type of game development where a client hires another company for the development of certain tasks or the whole project scope: from planning to development and testing.
Outstaffing means hiring experienced professionals to work on the project under management of the client side.
Moonmana has offices in Poland and Spain. Our distributed team works from 7 countries: Spain, Poland, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Overall, we have 70+ talented full-time employees.
