Andrew Kagia creator of Nairobi X a 3D video game set in the Kenya’s capital city Nairobi
Andrew Kagia is the creator of Nairobi X, a video game set in Nairobi (Kenya) representing a character Otero, who is part of the Recce Squad, and who’s duty is to save the city from an alien invasion. The game begins at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, where Otero starts his mission after being briefed.
It took Andrew a year to make this game, and he did most of it by himself. The idea of creating this game came to him after being tired of playing games where he killed aliens in New York, Los Angeles and London. He thought to himself, why not create a video game set in Nairobi ?
Andrew’s passion for coding and animation began during his young age. Unlike other children who watched cartoons for entertainment, he wondered how videos game came to life. In high school, fascinated by math and by the art of creating something out of nothing, he got his hands on animation software and was immediately hooked.
Before launching his own game, Andrew worked for several high profile clients, including The XYZ Show, Nescafe, V500, The Property Show and The DB Agency.
He hopes that one day, the Kenyan gaming industry will be a source of great national pride, making a turn over of billions and creating thousands of jobs.
