Developing constructive games and services for an evolution with more joy
We make video games that are fun to play while helping people learn useful things. We believe games should focus on being entertaining first, letting players naturally pick up knowledge as they play. Our goal is to help people "Evolve with Joy" - making learning a fun journey rather than a chore. Using modern technology like AI and data science, we create engaging experiences that adapt to each player's needs.
Outdated Education Principles
Since the emergence of the internet, we can observe how education, especially in less developed countries, has not kept pace with evolution, which brings serious problems for our growth as a society.
Lack of Interest in Learning
A large part of Brazilian school dropout rates occur due to lack of interest and understanding about the importance of studying in the early stages of life.
Parents aren’t Supervising their Kids
School-related subjects and interpersonal relationships, which should be practiced in school environments, are not known by parents and often there isn't even an understanding of how to solve the problems.
Educational Games
Most educational or serious games focus more on teaching than entertaining. The result is low retention and a shallow experience.
To address the Big Gap, we at Conkist offer a unique solution that stimulates the innate desire for challenge and self-improvement in our clients. We use the power of well-designed, entertaining experiences to guide users towards understanding the specific knowledge or message that each of our projects presents. We believe that learning can be an enjoyable journey, and we create our offerings to reflect this belief.
The world is rapidly changing and traditional methods of imparting knowledge may fall short in addressing the needs of the modern learner. That's where we step in. We use our expertise in digital game design and development to create engaging, interactive and personalized experiences that make learning a pleasure, not a chore.
But we don't stop at just creating entertaining experiences. We extend our efforts to leverage modern tools such as artificial intelligence, data science, and robust data security measures. These innovative tools enable us to provide more efficient support tailored to our clients' needs.
Our approach to learning is holistic. We understand that each learner is unique, and our AI-driven solutions allow us to personalize the learning experience for each user. With data science, we can analyze patterns and trends in user behavior, helping us continuously improve our offerings.
In conclusion, our solution to the Big Gap lies in transforming the learning process into a joyful journey of self-improvement and evolution. Using a combination of engaging experiences and cutting-edge technology, we aim to create an environment that not only educates but also inspires our users to evolve with joy.
Conkist's conception is a story of passion and dedication, beginning with Renato Lima's foray into digital game design and development in 2012. His pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the market led to the creation of the company's distinctive star logo in 2016. This was a time of intense specialization for Renato, but also a period of pause, as he recognized the need to gain further experience and enhance his career.
Over the next eight years, Renato emerged as a Lead Developer with a comprehensive fullStack proficiency in Game Design and Development. His return to Conkist, now as its Founder and COO, is a testament to his enduring commitment to the project. His journey, marked by continuous learning and professional growth, reflects the ethos of Conkist – to evolve with joy, just as Renato has throughout his career.
At Conkist, our logo carries a rich narrative, woven into the fabric of our gaming universe. The star is more than just a celestial body; it's the guiding light in our journey of evolution. It's the objective our players strive to reach, a symbol of the aspirations we foster in our gaming community.
Bathed in the hues of cyan and gold, the star is a testament to our relentless pursuit of creativity and excellence. These colors illuminate our path as we craft immersive and innovative gaming experiences.
Speaking a language that resonates with our modern approach, the bold sans serif font stands for clarity and simplicity, much like the engaging and intuitive interfaces of our games.
The white stroke and the subtle shadow around the logo set it apart, much like the distinctive charm of Conkist in the gaming industry. They add an element of depth, reflecting the multi-layered and diverse gaming experiences we offer.
In essence, our logo is a story that unfolds with every pixel, a symbol that goes beyond aesthetics. It's an embodiment of our commitment to create joyful gaming experiences that inspire evolution and growth.
At the current stage of our startup, we are actively seeking funds which will allow us to initiate the hiring process. Our focus is on building a robust, diverse, and talented team that will help us in achieving our vision. In keeping with the global and digital nature of our business, we are open to hiring remote workers from all around the world. We believe that this will enhance our diversity and enable us to tap into the best talent globally.
We understand the importance of leadership in a startup environment and are particularly keen on finding engaged leaders in various aspects of our company. These areas include Administrative, Legal, Community, and Sales. Leaders in these areas will play a critical role in shaping our company culture, driving our growth, and ensuring we stay true to our mission and values.
We are excited about the journey ahead and are committed to building a team that shares our passion for revolutionizing the gaming industry. We look forward to the day when we can translate these plans into action and start welcoming new members to the Conkist family.
The gaming and general entertainment market is witnessing remarkable growth and innovation, both in Brazil and worldwide. The surge in the number of gamers is particularly noticeable in emerging countries, driven by the increased accessibility of gaming platforms, including mobile and free-to-play games which are gaining immense popularity. Brazil's gaming market is thriving, ranking among the largest worldwide in terms of gamers. On a global scale, the gaming industry is projected to exceed $200 billion in revenue by 2023. Technological advancements such as AR, VR, and cloud gaming are further propelling this growth. But beyond these, low-cost and accessible platforms are gaining significant momentum, especially in emerging countries, where affordability and ease of use are key factors. Similarly, the entertainment sector is rapidly evolving, with streaming services and online content platforms increasingly catering to these markets. These trends suggest a future full of opportunity for the gaming and entertainment industry, particularly in connecting with and catering to audiences in emerging economies.
Conkist operates on a multi-sided platform business model, catering to various user groups. This model allows us to create a dynamic and interconnected environment where each user group - the players, guardians, and our partners - contributes to and benefits from the ecosystem. By offering diverse engagement models, we can cater to a wide range of user preferences and needs. The interplay between these groups drives the vibrancy and growth of our platform, ensuring a stimulating and enjoyable experience for all users while also enhancing our market reach and revenue potential.

Each licensing strategy depends on specific situations and the value of the intellectual property involved. It is advisable to assess each case carefully before deciding on the appropriate licensing strategy.
A successful competitor for Conkist would likely be a company that also operates at the intersection of gaming, education, and technology. They would have a strong understanding of their target audience and the ability to create engaging and entertaining digital experiences. They would potentially leverage advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and data science to enhance their offerings. Moreover, they would have a strong global presence and a robust marketing strategy. However, Conkist's advantage could lie in our unique mission of transforming learning from a mandatory task into a joyous journey, our dedicated focus on addressing the 'Big Gap' in traditional teaching methodologies, and our commitment to leveraging growth opportunities in emerging markets.
