It was founded in January 2011 by Dominik Abé and Johannes Roth, who had previously developed Grounded (2009) while studying video game design.

In October 2008, they began working together under the name "Mimimi" and developed their first game, Grounded, which was released in November 2009.

However, its mouse-based input system was perceived as an obstacle and the studio was advised to bring the game to mobile devices instead.

On 13 January 2011, Abé and Roth founded Mimimi Productions GbR, and daWindci was released on 14 April that year.
