Postman is the world’s leading platform for API development, used by over 30 million developers and 500,000 companies worldwide.
Project description
Recognizing the power of visual storytelling in technology, Postman is always looking for innovative ways to get their API-first philosophy out there. After the success of their epic graphic novel, The API-First World, the company geared up for the next chapter: designing a game to guide users through Postman’s API-first universe in an educational and engaging way.
In their quest for an engineering partner skilled in gaming and tech aspects of SaaS, Postman scored big with Vention. We quickly brought on board a team of 10 specialists — with expertise across game design, 2D/3D art, Unity engineering, and project management — all set to build the pioneering mobile game, Postman: API-First Journey.
The idea? Set in a realm of disorganized API processes, the game introduces players to the Postmanaut, a character struggling to build software in a monolithic environment. Players use Postman tools to navigate this chaotic world, travel through the Cloud, and ultimately reach the API-First World.
THE RESULT
The collaboration with Postman resulted in a truly game-changing solution that skillfully blends education with entertainment, establishing Postman as a frontrunner in the gamified learning sector in tech. Our interaction and cooperation were transparent and open from day one, allowing us to manage and resolve unplanned situations smoothly.
The game’s launch received a highly positive response from the community, as demonstrated by more than 1,000 downloads within the first week and significant social media interest.
“The Vention team members were perfect partners for the project; they were quick to execute, understood our vision, and collaborated with us seamlessly,” said Shruthi Venkatesh, Visual Lead at Postman. “The team had really valuable insights that helped us finesse the mechanics of the game. Overall, working with them was game-changing, quite literally.”
Grab the game for your mobile device from the App Store or Google Play.
