Hi Tamers and Montabi friends,
Huge thank you to everyone who joined the latest playtest, featuring 13 new Montabi! We had so many great discussions in the Montabi Discord, and we’re really happy about that. All the feedback you shared, both in the form and on Discord, is helping us fine-tune the newest Montabi we’re building.
Warm Welcome
A warm welcome as well to everyone who discovered Montabi through Monster Taming Direct and Akupara’s 9th Anniversary Sale! We hope you enjoy the demo, and we’re looking forward to sharing even more with you soon.
We’re also thrilled that Montabi has been selected as a finalist for two awards:
Best Indie Game Finalist at The Game Development World Championship (GDWC)
Top 40 Finalists in SEA Game Awards at Level Up KL (Winners will be announced on Oct 7, wish us luck guys!)
By the way, our team created a special illustration to celebrate the 9th Anniversary of our wonderful publisher, Akupara! We’re really thankful for their hardwork in amplifying the small voices behind Montabi and so many other amazing games. Wishing all the best for Akupara!
We’ve also been working on a Montabi inspired by Chronos, Akupara’s mascot. Meet Chottle and its evolution line!
New Content and Adjustments

What’s Next
October will be a busy month! Here's a little early secret: we're currently preparing a demo update with localization. Hopefully, we can share Montabi with even more players.
We’ll also be attending three offline events this month:
Indonesia Game Expo (IGX): Oct 4-5
Level Up KL: Oct 6-8
Indonesia Game Developer Exchange (IGDX): Oct 9-11
If you’re planning to visit any of these events, feel free to stop by our booth and say hi!
Once again, thank you so much for your support. Until next time, Tamers!
