African game development with Sithe Ncube

The African continent has historically been underrepresented in the global game development scene, but game developers living there want to change that. Sithe Ncube, who is Zambian and currently studying Computer Science in South Africa, spends much of her spare time working with various initiatives supporting Black game developers, African game developers, and specifically African women making games.

Among other work, Sithe is a strategic advisor for Humble Bundle’s new $1 million a year Black Game Developer Fund, and a regional organiser for Global Game Jam supporting participants in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this conversation, she tells Jordan about game development in Africa and about her own initiative, Prosearium, which aims to document 1,000 African women creating and contributing to games.
