2MBKindiegames is an independent gaming company located in Belgium. Currently it has two employees, Bavo Ceulemans and Senne Deproost. The official slogan is: "Welcome to the 2-Megabit Kingdom!" =History= On Thuesday January 8 2013 (at 22:36), Bavo Ceulemans started his first big project: Lighthopper. In the past years, he had created many small and unfinished 'Research&Development-Games' but he wanted to finally complete one. One day later, on January 9 2013, he asked his friend, Senne Deproost, to help him with this new game.

At first, the two started their collaboration nameless. It wasn't until Monday 14 January that it was given a name. The company was soon called '2MBKindiegames' (see: Name).

Name
On 14 January 2013, Senne Deproost suggested an idea to Bavo Ceulemans. Senne wanted to give their partnership a name. They both wanted a reference to their names but not just their initials. After a while they came up with the prefix '2MBK' wich has a special meaning for Bavo and Senne. It is not publicly known what '2MBK' stands for, but Bavo's nickname is 'BK' and Senne uses '2M' as pseudonym. In the summer of 2013, the official slogan became "Welcome to the 2-Megabit Kingdom!", wich suggests that '2MBK' is an acronym. However, the reality couldn't be further away from the truth because the slogan is really a backronym for the company name that was created 5 months earlier.

After they decided that the name of their collaboration would start with '2MBK', they quickly discovered that they both wanted 'indiegames' as suffix instead of 'studios'. They found it important that they make it clear that they are an indiegaming company.

If it is wrote down correctly, the name of the company is written '2MBKindiegames' (first three letters capital and no space between the two affixes). However, sometimes it is also written as 'indiegames.2mbk' (no capital letters and a dot between the prefix and suffix). The second one is only used by the developers when (for some reason) '2MBKindiegames' is not a valid option. E.g. an email-adres cannot start with a number, so the 'indiegames.2mbk-form' is used in their official email-adres. =Games= Since its foudation in 2013, 2MBKindiegames has created 1 game: Lighthopper.

Lighthopper
Lighthopper is the first (and currently only) game created by 2MBKindiegames. It is a game about a cube called 'Lighthopper'. The cube can change his shape and color and has the ability of collecting small lightsources (like Torches). He lives in a world where the sun stopping emitting light and dark creatures tried to take over the earth. He has to find light and defeat the monsters in order to restore the power of the sun.

The game contains 5 Levels, each existing of 20 stages plus one boss-fight. Also, each level has four 'Daily Stages' wich can only be played once a day.

Currently only the first level (the Plains) is available. The second level (the Caves) is in development.
