🎮 New city. New stories. New opportunities.
We’re back at Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2025, and this year, we’re taking things up a notch! Maliyo Games has always believed that African stories deserve a front-row seat in the global gaming industry, and this time, we’re not just attending, we’re stepping onto the big stage.
Our CEO, Hugo Obi, will be presenting a case study on Maliyo Games alongside industry veterans Jason Della Rocca and Kristian Roberts. The spotlight? Safari City, our latest city-building, match-3 adventure inspired by Africa’s rich architectural heritage.
If you’ve been craving fresh narratives, stunning world-building, and a gameplay loop that keeps players coming back for more, Safari City is the game to watch. And GDC 2025? The place to be.
From GDC 2024 to 2025: Leveling Up African Gaming
Last year, we made waves. This year, we’re making moves.
Our journey to GDC 2025 isn’t just about presenting a game. It’s about representing a movement; one that champions African gaming on the global stage.
For years, the gaming industry has leaned heavily on Western and Asian narratives. But what about Africa? A continent bursting with stories, culture, and creativity? That’s where Maliyo Games comes in.
We’ve spent the last decade crafting experiences that feel authentic, immersive, and unmistakably African. Safari City is the latest step in that journey, a game that not only celebrates Africa’s beauty but also showcases the untapped potential of African game development.
At GDC 2025, we’re not just showcasing a game. We’re inviting publishers, investors, and fellow game studios to be part of something bigger, a future where African-inspired games take center stage.

Why This Matters for the Gaming Industry
Gaming is evolving. Players are demanding new worlds, new experiences, new cultures. The same old formulas won’t cut it anymore.
Safari City isn’t just another city-builder. It’s an invitation to explore Africa through gameplay: a fresh, engaging experience that proves African-inspired games can be visually stunning, commercially viable, and wildly entertaining.
By bringing Safari City to GDC 2025, we’re not just launching a game. We’re leading a shift, one that opens doors for African developers, showcases untapped creativity, and proves that gaming is truly a global industry.
