I’ve been building mini-games for a while, but haven’t really explained why. For me, they’re a way to make stories playable, create reasons to come back, and explore what African games can feel like in everyday life. Here’s what I’ve been thinking: quirklog.com/writing/why-i-k…

Rhythm, chess, daily word puzzles: what small games teach us about telling stories, bringing players back, and building African-made games that last.

When we built @jiwe_io the goal was simple- accelerate game developers and create real opportunities... still is, well done team!

Proud to team up with @Fakugesi for the Dala Khona Open Call to bring 11 African games to the physical stage this October. If you’re building multiplayer games on the continent, show us what you got! 🚀 jiwe.io/game-jams/dhala-corn…

We had the pleasure of meeting the founder of @shuledirect, @ikulazarus along with her colleague Joseph, where we discussed the possibilities of how the game UMOJA could fit in schools. We are super excited to explore all that Tanzania as UMOJA continues to tour East Africa!

Umoja is a groundbreaking educational game designed to explore the histories of resistance to slavery along the Swahili Coast. It merges interactive storytelling with historical research to engage players—particularly students—in learning about cultural heritage in a dynamic way.

Will 1,000 monkeys typing on 1,000 typewriters for a million years eventually type the Encyclopedia Britannica? -The power of large numbers and a little bit of randomness is absorbing.
