History

In 2002 Babaroga was founded by owner and CEO, Andreja Djokovic in Chicago, IL.

In the early days of the company, Babaroga focused primarily on creating games for feature phones, establishing a foothold in a new and emerging sector of portable gaming. Babaroga forged relationships with various publishers such as Jamdat, Gameloft, Electronic Arts, Disney Interactive to release over 50 feature phone games.

In 2007, when smartphones were introduced, Babaroga adapted its existing technology to support cross-platform development on new mobile operating systems, including iOS and later Android and Windows Phone 7. Babaroga partnered with Microsoft, EA, Glu, and other publishers to create licensed games on smartphones, while also self-publishing original IP.

In 2008, Babaroga partnered with Microsoft to release original games on the Zune and Zune HD platforms. This relationship grew to include working with Microsoft as a first-party and third-Party developer to create new and original games on the Windows 8 and Windows Phone platform, which includes PC, Tablet, and Windows Phone 8 markets.

In 2010, Babaroga expanded its operation to include additional offices in London, UK.

In 2011, Babaroga announced that the Twilight Creations board game adaptation of Zombies!!! would be brought to life on Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, Windows 8, and iOS devices.
