Dear Nairalanders,

I have a plan of building a gaming company like Gameloft, eidos, cryrek in Nigeria. I will be needing a team. Programmers, animators, salesperson, graphic artist,concept artist, and lots more. The aim of the company is to provide games with full African theme. Focus will be on Android, PC games and major consoles like PS4.

What do you have to say?

Loool..not to bust your bubble or anything but your dream is a little bit unrealistic, you can only go far for small projects like games on portables like android and ios and the likes, hardcore games on consoles is outa reach..the cost of the venture is too high and having such skilled programmers in unlikely, you can sign up for sony's indie developer project though. I undastand your dream but its not feasible at the moment

You don't know how much he's willing to invest, for all you know he could be Dangote or whoever.

Console games don't necessarily have to be Uncharted-esque, Limbo is less than 100MB and is one of my favorite console games of this generation.

its not only about money, human resource is highly important and since the gaming idea is nigeria centric, he'll need programmers and the likes with nigerian background because they can relate more to the concept than any1 else, I love limbo too but do you think limbo was an easy job? At the moment nigerians are not skilled enough to carry out such projects and what's the use if you use foreigners to execute the project and say its a nigerian dream come true?? Doesn't make sense, to only establish the concept will take a very long time that's why we are still yet to see nigerian themed games even on mobile phones let alone consoles. The closest I have even seen is this "danfo" game by nokia for asha and I can tell you it aint nigerians that made that game. So I'm not trying to shoot him down but just looking at it from the realistic view point, at the moment we can't achieve such ordeal because we lack the resources, human and capital. The best you can even do now is to make a very useful app tailored to the nigerian ecosystem

This would be great, imagine having an african version of killer instinct, with Shango, and Oduduwa as Bosses! I would really like to see this happen in Nigeria, Great concept mate . i will be ur character idea consultant for the first fighting game

you can start by making one for google playstore or apple appstore let's see, microsoft is even more supportive for our local content with their windows phone os,start and let's see how good it is. U see the point is not to make it, but how good it will be compared with others, that's why when u visit appstores only those with the highest ratings are purchased or even downloaded, most mediocre ones are unheard of. Can you make a racing game better than gameloft?? Or E.A?? If you can't then how do you think you would get crowd support when its not even on par with average ones. I'm not disputing your ability to make games but true say, what you would churn out will be average. If what am saying aint feasible then prove me wrong and make something substantial let nigerians support you. Until then, I'll only advice to engage in feasible ventures like apps that cater to our issues we face here and leave gaming to hardcore programmers

My 2 cents,... My name is Idamiebi, I am the Project Lead for Titi Tilapia.(www.tititilapia.com)
You can google it if you need more details. the beta andriod version is also available on the site
Yours is a lofty project.. But without extensive funds, my suggestion would be start small... with lots of passion
Wanted to type quite a lot but i need to step out briefly.. Will be back late
