Video games in Africa is a sector that emerged from 1994, when the first independent studio in Africa, Celestial Games, established to South Africa. The sector then developed slowly with the establishment of Ubisoft in Casablanca, Morocco in 1998 and the creation of local companies such as Madiba Olivier, creator of Aurion: The Legacy of the Kori-Odan, by Wesley Kirinya who designs the first African 3D independent game, Adventures of Nyangi^[1] · ^[2] · ^[3] · ^[4] or the Malagasy studio Lomay, creator of the racing game Gazkar^[5]. The first initiatives and the democratisation of smartphones and internet access then allow new projects to see the day^[6].
