Maliyo Games reaffirms its commitment to creating opportunities for individuals eager to break into the burgeoning African video game industry as upon successfully completing the Game Art Training Programme, participants will be eligible to apply for career opportunities at Maliyo Games, positioning them for success in the dynamic video game industry.

Hugo Obi, the company’s founder, cites the success of its game developer programme, GameUp Africa, as a testament to this dedication. Obi notes that the initiative has given Maliyo Games an advantage in building its in-house engineering team, having hired 15 skilled engineers from the GameUp Africa pipeline in just two years. This progress is revolutionising the company’s game development processes, and Maliyo Games continues to prioritise empowering aspiring game developers.

“For a few years now, Maliyo Games’ game developer programme (GameUp Africa) has given us the edge in building our in-house engineering team. In the past 2 years alone, we’ve been able to hire 15 engineers from the GameUp Africa pipeline, and this is truly transforming the way we create.”

“Even then, building games takes a lot more than just good mechanics and design systems; quality art is critical to any game’s success.
