As the global games industry gears up for one of the most anticipated events of the year, Maliyo Games is thrilled to announce our participation in the Devcom Developer Conference 2024 (#ddc2024). Recognized as Europe’s largest game developer gathering, this prestigious event will take place from August 18-20 in Cologne, Germany. We’re particularly excited to share that our very own CEO and Founder, Hugo Obi, will not only be a featured speaker but will also be delivering two insightful talks at this remarkable event!
African Games on the Global Stage
The Devcom Developer Conference is not just any conference—it’s a melting pot where the brightest minds in the games industry converge to exchange ideas, showcase innovations, and shape the future of gaming. With thousands of developers, publishers, and industry professionals attending from all corners of the globe, #ddc2024 is the perfect stage for Maliyo Games to highlight our commitment to putting Africa on the global gaming map.
For Maliyo Games, participating in Devcom is about more than just being part of a global conversation—it’s about bringing the unique perspectives of African game developers to the forefront. Since we began in 2012, we’ve been committed to telling African stories through our games. As one of the first African game studios to gain international recognition, Maliyo Games has always been at the cutting edge of developing games that resonate with pan-African and global audiences. Our presence at Devcom 2024 reinforces our commitment to sharing the rich tapestry of African culture through games and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry.
