ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER: [Collabulator - Announcement Trailer]
LONDON, UK - NOVEMBER 2, 2026 - First time developer and publisher Mangerive is euphoric to announce the Collabulator, a next generation collaborative workspace for mathematical calculation, releasing on Steam on November 17th.
The next generation of collaborative workspace environments is finally here. Built to maximise workflow optimisation by minimising user input actions generating positive scaling synergy. The Collabulator is a calculative device for 1 - 100 users to simultaneously work on the same calculator, synchronizing all devices across a plethora of features.
For the first look at the Collabulator, check out the announcement trailer or head to the Steam page where you can read more about the Collabulator and wishlist prior to release.
Features:
- Massively Collaborative - The Collabulator currently allows up to 100 users to be connected through the same workspace environment making calculations on a singular, central device. (It’s a multiplayer calculator)
- Next Generation Calculator - Going back to basics we work solely with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to allow you to focus on making the decisions that really matter. (It’s just a basic calculator)
- Visual Contrasting Options - We’ve included two whole visibility modes, allowing for either darker or brighter backgrounds, depending on user preference. (It’s just darkmode)
- Positive Upward Feedback Loops - We’ve accounted for tens of scenarios and are absolutely certain your dopamine will spike after completion of each key point of interest. (It’s just achievements)
- Artificial Unintelligence Systems - a system built to allow users maximum efficiency through automated unIntelligent input. This system is so advanced that given enough time running by itself, it has the potential to solve all of your equations without a single user input. (It’s a randomiser)
“The Collabulator at its core is just a satirical take on the current culture of collaborative workspace environments.” said Vincent Coates, CEO & game director for Mangerive. “The Collabulator exists because I asked myself ‘what workspace would be insane to make collaborative’ and I think I found my answer.”
“At its absolute best the Collabulator is a minor ragebait simulator with friends, or at worst it’s a simple joke, meant to be laughed at and moved on. My hope is that people see a fully human made game, without generative AI and choose to support a real human, doing real human things, even if it’s simply satire.”
The Collabulator will be available on PC through Steam on November 17th in 2026 and can be added to your steam wishlist now.
