Reduction of Financial Barriers for African Game Developers

TLDR

• Narratify Agency and W Love Games are currently seeking sponsors and ecosystem partners to help fund African developers’ participation at Gamescom this August.
• Across Africa, hundreds of independent game developers, artists, programmers, writers, musicians, and creative studios are building compelling games inspired by African histories, cultures, languages, and futures.
• Rather than waiting for opportunity to find Africa, these organisations are actively creating pathways for African developers to participate in the global games industry.
• By providing selected African gaming professionals with travel, accommodation, and access to gamescom dev and its business networking programme, the scholarship removes many of the financial barriers that have.
• When African developers attend global industry events, they do more than showcase individual games.
