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

Tonielrosoft  is now celebrating one million downloads of its free classic card game called Naija Whot.  Naija Whot  is a digitised version of the widely popular card game in Nigeria known as Whot!  The game also includes modes like  quick-play with a single robot, tournament match with 3 robots, one vs one multiplayer against a human  opponent as well as action card configurations, avatar customisations  and French  localisation  features. Naija Whot has now become  the first Nigerian game to hit this landmark based on downloads solely from the Play Store.  The game was released on December 09 2014 on the Google Play Store, which means that it reached one million in 3 years 10 months and 22 days (1422 days). The game has also been on the Google Play’s top 100 app and game charts in Nigeria for over the past 2 years now. Another game from Tonielrosoft,  Naija Ludo  is also close to the one million download landmark.
