Muhtasari

  • Part 2: Africa’s Studios Are Building More Than Games — They Are Building Soft Power The emergence of African game studios should not be viewed simply as the growth of another technology sector.
  • Across universities, innovation hubs and independent learning communities, young Africans are increasingly viewing game development as a legitimate career rather than an unusual hobby.
  • Initiatives such as the Pan-African Gaming Group (PAGG) recognise that Africa’s greatest competitive advantage may lie in collective scale rather than fragmented national markets.
  • While these games are not explicitly African in theme, they demonstrate something equally important.
  • Success stories such as Free Lives help dismantle another outdated misconception—that African developers can only produce games for local markets.
