Xbox is dedicated to bringing the joy and community of gaming to everyone on the planet – and that includes how we support those making the games. As part of that mission, we’re revealing Game Maker’s Journey, a new documentary focused on pioneering Nigerian videogame studio Dimension11 and its debut release, Legends of Orisha: Blood and Water.
We’re delighted to announce that Game Maker’s Journey will take us to Ile-Ife, Nigeria and tell us how Dimension11 is breaking new ground, transforming Nigeria’s rich history and the ancient Yoruba religion and into a dynamic and immersive gameplay experience.
Watch the full documentary below:
Legends of Orisha: Blood and Water is narrative action-RPG rooted in Nigeria’s Yoruba culture, and the immersive nature of gaming will allow players to experience and learn about it in an all-new way. Dimension11 are part of the ID@Xbox Developer Acceleration Program. The program’s mission is to empower underrepresented creators to bring their creativity, innovation, and originality to Xbox.
“We set out with a dream to tell African stories to a global audience and Legends of Orisha: Blood and Water was born out of that dream,” says Dimension11 Creative Director Winston Ohunyon.
“Through the help of ID@Xbox’s Developer Accelerator Program, this dream has become an achievable goal. I am immensely grateful for their support as well as the creative vision of the folks behind Game Maker’s Journey.”
“When I first met the Dimension 11 team as part of Game Camp Africa, it was clear to me that this studio had immense talent, expertise, and passion,” says James Lewis, Head of the ID@Xbox Developer Acceleration Program. “Dimension11 and Legends of Orisha: Blood and Water exemplify the type of teams and projects that we strive to support with the ID@Xbox Developer Acceleration Program.”
Game Maker’s Journey: Dimension11 is available to watch now, and you can find more on the ID@Xbox Developer Acceleration Program here.
