Miraibo GO producer discusses the game, its development, and more
Q1. Tell us about Miraibo GO, its gameplay, and its premise to introduce our readers to the title.
Kasam: Miraibo GO is an open-world survival game that blends monster-catching with crafting and base-building elements, available on PC and mobile with cross-platform support.
Set in a vast world, players embark on an adventure to capture and train a diverse array of creatures known as Miras. Each Mira has unique abilities and personalities, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay.
Players can explore different environments, battle enemies, and team up with friends to build thriving communities. The game supports both solo and multiplayer experiences, offering a rich and immersive world to discover no matter how you prefer to play.
Q2. The monster-catching genre does have quite a few popular games that attract a large player base cumulatively. What was the reason for the team to target this particular genre? What do you think Miraibo GO does differently that sets it apart?
Kasam: The monster-catching genre resonates with a wide audience due to its blend of exploration, strategy, and collection elements. Our team was drawn to this genre because of its timeless appeal and the opportunity to innovate within a familiar framework.
Miraibo GO differentiates itself by introducing a dynamic, parallel-world concept where each "season" offers unique challenges and environments. We've also integrated social features that encourage cooperation and competition among players, fostering a strong community spirit that sets us apart.

Q3. How was the developmental journey? Are there any interesting insights that you would like to share?
Kasam: The developmental journey for Miraibo GO was both challenging and rewarding. We iterated extensively on the Miras' design and capture mechanics to ensure they were engaging yet intuitive.
Incorporating player feedback during the development process was crucial in refining the game to meet the community's expectations at launch. Our team is committed to creating a living, breathing world where players can lose themselves.
Q4. Once Miraibo GO was announced, players were quick to note similarities with Palworld. Post-launch, such comparisons have only increased. Thoughts on this?
Kasam: We’ve created this experience by taking inspiration from a number of places. While it's natural for players to draw comparisons between games in the same genre, we believe that Miraibo GO has carved out its own niche because of its social interactivity and rich lore, which will only get deeper with each update.
As Miraibo GO is a live service project, we can provide players with fresh gameplay experiences through things like seasonal themes, events, and new features. We encourage players to explore everything Miraibo GO offers and discover what makes it a standout title.

Of course, as with any new game, we've encountered some challenges, but the community's enthusiasm and support have been instrumental in helping us address these issues and continue improving the game.
Q6. What does the content roadmap look like for Miraibo GO in the near future? What can the community expect in the next few months?
Kasam: The Miraibo GO team is hard at work planning exciting new content for the game. We are adopting a live service approach, which enables us to bring fresh and dynamic content to our players in seasons.
These seasons will provide new Miras, storylines, and features. In the coming months, players can look forward to additional building options for outpost customization and expanded storylines that delve deeper into the world of Miraibo GO.
We're also improving the game's performance and adding new features based on player feedback. We aim to continuously evolve Miraibo GO and keep our community engaged with fresh content and updates.
