Nigerian Game Development Companies

-

In 2012, you could count only 5 game development companies in Nigeria. Five years later, that number has quadrupled, with a few still developing their first game. With no real database or catalog of gaming studios in Nigeria, I decided to make a list of my own. Now I must say, not all the gaming studios are on this list. Only the ones that meet a certain criteria are listed here. The criteria for choosing these selected ones, is simply that they have at least two games released on any platform (local or otherwise). So without further ado, here is a curated list of gaming studios in Nigeria.

    Hey there! So I have produced a 155 page PDF document where I outline 2 PVP Games that would be relatively easy to make -- and a lot of fun!

    You can get the full document on the website link (wherever it shows up in this post) or just click this link: https://tarmrening.com/2024/03/10/12-rounds-of-chaos/

    This leads to my personal blog. I would love to get your feedback, here is my email: swedishguy555@skiff.com

The Nigerian 2019 Elections is scheduled for the coming weeks, and the entertainment industry is partaking in it the best way they know how. In music, Falz the Bahd guy released his Moral Instruction album while 2Baba along with other prominent Nigerian artists released a Not For Sale conscious message in collaboration with INEC and ECES (European Center for Electoral Support). Gaming is not left out as three political games have emerged these past few months. The three political games don’t require a lot of brain power and are quite fun to play, with the best part being… they are all for free. If there is one particular presidential candidate that you like, you can now play as him/her. Or if you’re an avid card-carrying member of a political party, you now have the chance to crush other opposition parties you don’t like. Here are the 3 political games for the 2019 elections on Android APC vs PDP APC vs PDP is a fast-paced arcade game where you play as a corps me
