Our stories don't have to be told only in films and music.
Games can carry them too.
Yesterday, I got a message from a veteran game designer, someone who has spent years shaping games like The Sims, Star Wars, Madden and The Elder Scrolls. He had never been to Lagos, but he'd been playing Danfo Run.
He said he loves learning about life in Lagos, and that what drew him in was the colour, the street style and the culture behind it.
Then he gave me one piece of advice:
"Make it even MORE Nigerian. Your lived experience, the comedy, the tragedy, the drama: that's what draws people in."
That stuck with me.
The conductor shouting "Owo da!" The agbero at the bus stop. The hawker running beside your window. The traffic that somehow always has a story in it.
Those aren't things to smooth out. They're the whole point.
So that's what we're doing. More Lagos. More Nigeria. More of the stories we grew up inside.
The world is curious about us. Let's show them properly ๐ณ๐ฌ
