I just found out about that recently. He's like the only one character with real African history attached. I don't like AC Very much but he was a cool character, nonetheless. It would be cool to see the same engine with a king like Tenkamenin riding horses, castles talking democratically politics with the people/citizens and fighting off invasions.

He doesn't really have any African culture though.

Crazy how there's no African adventure platformers in 2014! We'll catch up though & games will start to elevate because of diversity and competition. I only donated $1 CAD with my check-to-check self, but someone covered the gap in the waning hours. The future of gaming is looking bright for the consumer. Very excited 4 the future.

Happy New Year to All. :D

The kickstarter was a success! Thanks for all who donated :D

@buft: that's horrible...now come to think of it that and GTA, those are gangbanging/unorganized crime video games.

@brodehouse: This game is set in Africa with a black hero. So I thought that was unique. I don't know how many times that's been done.

I would love for someone to point me to a list of black protagonists in video games.

I doubt there are many and so I really want this to succeed.

Saw this online and wanted to help get this funded. African games are far in between and I really like the character design.

Would be really cool if the game could get funded quickly and I'd hate to see such a novel concept for a small business project fail.

I'm not the owner and don't know much about the game but here's the link:

In this initial version there will be 4 levels, which will have their own environments, evil henchmen and a powerful villains at the end of each level who will have to be defeated before you advance.

I will be donating because I like the slick visuals and historical figure of Piye and I have always had my own characters and stories I wanted to tell.

That being said, my question is, are there any other African platformer games currently on the market if at all?

I think this could be a watershed moment and set a precedent with blacks/Africans starring in video games.

I personally wasn't a big watcher of the videos but the outpouring of emotion compelled me too log in and post my condolences. From what I've read he was a gregarious fun loving guy. I believe he'd want his family and friends at giantbomb to persevere, have fun and make the world a better place. Here's hoping that that happens. RIP Ryan Davis.

Budokai #1 was my thing. That and Bloody Roar Primal Fury.

Damn it. PS3 is the one I actually want to drop in price.

I used to eat it till it tasted like chemicals. It tastes good to me but if you eat a whole bag of the stuff it starts tasting like vomit.

It's made of honey. It must be a chemical in the honey. Maybe its honey bee skeet.

Thanks guys much appreciated.
