About — Origin Point Games

The Origin.

Africa is building worlds. The world just doesn't know it yet.

Africa is not a theme. It's a perspective. A filter. A way of seeing the world that billions of people share and the global games industry has barely scratched.

The developers building here aren't working in the margins of the industry. They're building at the origin of something. Games rooted in lived experience, in history, in culture. Not as novelty, but as substance. The kind of depth that makes great games great.

African developers draw from the source. Origin Point Games exists to spread the word.

Why we exist.

Scout

We find African studios and developers doing extraordinary work across the continent. The ones the world hasn't found yet.

Surface

We build credible, high-production showcases that give great games the stage they deserve. Quality over volume. Always.

Connect

Sometimes we see dots that need connecting. Developers, publishers, investors, partners. If the introduction makes sense, we make it.

Amplify

We build the commercial context that turns great games into recognised ones. Wishlists, visibility, market presence. The bridge.

Africa is many things, but it's not an underdog. It's an untapped force. It's our home, our origin story, our filter. It has given the world more than it has ever been given credit for. We carry that into everything we do. This platform exists to uplift, not to extract.

The team.

Nicky Visentin

Grand Poobah of Everything

Founding member of the Flat Earth Gaming Society. Holds the world record for most spreadsheets open simultaneously.

Mike Gomes E'Silva

Assistant to the Regional Manager

Not the Regional Manager. Has asked us to clarify this. We will not be clarifying this.

Matt Suttner

Minister of Vibes

Appointed by no one. Answers to everyone. Responsible for making things look good and taking credit accordingly.

Rayyan Gafoor

Head of Research and Outreach

Has a map. Will not share the map. Knows every studio on the continent and their WiFi password.

Tayla Marais

Director of First Impressions

Responsible for all things on-camera. Also responsible for everyone else looking underdressed by comparison.

Steven Tu

Pixel Wrangler, Third Class

Has strong opinions about kerning. Will share them. Designed the logo. Won't let anyone forget it.

Romeo Molongoana

Professional Room Enterer

Knows everyone. Has met everyone. Is somehow already friends with whoever you're about to introduce him to.

David Hecker

Senior Vice President of Showing Up

Has been in more rooms than furniture. Brings experience, gravitas, and an unsettling ability to arrive exactly on time.
