@ Cassim33
Don't mind him (d quote above). Focus on web development instead. Or else u'll be competing against big companies (that spend millions of dollars on making games) which I'm very sure u cannot keepup.

If u're hell bent on making games, make simple hyper causal games and monitize it with ads.

Read my previous 2 post on the thread with d quote attached

Its simple logic. Everyone is willing to pay for what makes him money in return (i.e people are willing to pay for an e-commere web app because they'll make money from it) but not everyone is willing to pay for entertainment not to mention that entertainment is different for people. Some prefer movies to games while some prefer physical games and still yet out of d few that plays video games, not all of them are willing to pay for it.
Web development pays in Nigeria?
I can't remember intentionally visiting any Nigerian sites recently except from Twitter and nairaland links.
Not to mention the fact that almost all of them die out soon.

I think a big problem is Nigerian games being too Nigerian. You start playing and Nigeria is plastered all over the games.
Just make a game fgs.

See. I get your point. I'm all about thinking outside the box. Your advice is for someone who hasn't started anything yet.

I took Cassim33 as someone who already has something going on. Like a developer.

Don't forget, there are people whose projects still get picked up by these same companies.

It's left to him to decide tho.

Basically making it all about Nigerian stuff. It's good to be unique and different, I get.. but you still gatz make it appeal to a larger audience.

How many Nigerians are still going to legally purchase that title? There are some cases you can still make a mad game, and still pop a few Nigerian reps.
Yes, but not to switch up the whole concept for repping sake.

See how this one is talking undecided How many non Nigerian games have u bought from d play/app store?? Even if u had, is it ur one in 5yrs purchase that d developers will live on?

Well i won't argue with u because
1. U don't have a business that requires attending to a very large audience.

2. U are not a game developer.

But still let me tell one thing, don't u think people have invested in game development in Nigeria ?? Do ur research and find out why d abandoned it.

My final verdict : web Development is d most lucrative aspect of programming in Nigeria.

You don't talk like a programmer.
So much assumptions about an anonymous character online.


It requires large investment and I've been mostly disappointed with the quality/theme of games by Nigerian developers.
They often target Nigerian market which isn't even big nor rich enough to yield anything reasonable.


I remember how they made a game to try cash in on Oga at the top. Lol.

You have said all I couldn't type!

I mean we don't even know where a lot of the biggest games originated from till we make Google searches.

Maybe Nigerians are very patriotic sha. grin

My advice : Next time always b mindful of how u talk online because u don't know d person's personality.

D advise goes to me too though cause I don't know if I'm chatting with one multimillionaire businessman so sorry if u're offended anyway
