Kenyan Video Game Developer Needs Help To Win Africa Award
Who he is
- David Kamunyu is a Kenyan self‑taught videogame developer.
- He developed The Orchard under the name (or studio) Broken Helmet.
- His work was recognised in the Pan‑African game‑development community: for example, The Orchard was selected in the call for video‐game projects at Digital Lab Africa from Sub‑Saharan Africa.
Here are some details about The Orchard:
- The Orchard is described as a slow‑paced PC game that focuses on logic and foresight: the player inherits a farm, has to restore it, manage crops and animals, seasonal cycles, health and well‑being of the player character.
- The setting is apparently fictional but inspired by Kenyan context: e.g., the seasons, farm setting and localised mechanics.
- It was showcased in gaming conventions such as A Maze Johannesburg in South Africa and The Game Mixer (organised by the Goethe Institut, Johannesburg).
- It was part of the Digital Lab Africa selection.
