About us
Media. Game. Mobile.
We're a small lab at FILKOM, Universitas Brawijaya. We build games, apps, and websites, and we still get excited every time someone actually uses one.
Our story
How we got here
Every lab has an origin story. Here's ours, the short version.
2015
It started as a mobile lab
Before it was MGM, it was a lab focused on mobile apps at FILKOM, Universitas Brawijaya. A small group of students and lecturers building things for phones, long before that felt like a normal thing for a campus lab to do.
2016
Our first real launch
We shipped Jagoan Indonesia, an iPad app that taught kids about Indonesian culture through games and puzzles. It was a joint project with a team in Japan, and it's still the moment people point to when they ask how this whole thing began.
2017 to 2019
Figuring out what we're good at
We showed off VR labyrinths and local-guide apps at a campus expo. We split into a game team and a mobile team. One of our members flew to Singapore to see how a VR lab there worked. We were still finding our shape.
2020 to 2022
The name MGM stuck
During the pandemic, our head worked on UB Tanggap, a tool the university used to check in on students and staff. Around this time, people started calling us MGM, media, game, and mobile, and it just stayed.
Now
Four things we care about
Today we work across game and new media, websites, mobile apps, and user experience research. Different teams, same lab, same habit of actually shipping the thing instead of just talking about it.

Questions
Things people usually ask
Games, XR experiences, mobile apps, and websites, plus the research behind good user experience. If it runs on a screen, someone here has probably built one.
Mostly students, working alongside faculty advisors from FILKOM. People rotate in and out as they graduate, so the lab keeps changing while the work keeps going.
Yes. We open recruitment periodically for student members across every focus area. Check our careers page or just reach out and ask what's open right now.
