Aurion: Legacy of the Kori Odan, written by award-winning video game developer, Olivier Madiba who is also the CEO of Kiro’o Games. Which is now the first professional video games studio today in Cameroon. Beyond the game, Madiba believes the game can be an entry point to empower all the ambitious young under-supported youths in Africa. Olivier Madiba is also the founder of Kiroo Rebuntu a business empowerment platform.
Aurion is one of the top african fantasy stories with a lot of epic actions, magic, and a lot of life lessons on how to become a leader. One objective of Aurion is to bring more awareness to women. That is why we have most of the strong characters played by women. We didn’t want to make another game where you had to save the girl. We wanted to give this African image of the woman not behind, but at the side of the king, and in the game they are a real couple relationship. That’s something we’ve not seen in most games.
Aurion It’s a conflict analogy to the general African history about the quest for independence, the new colonization, but not from a victim’s point of view that the problem is always the fault of others. No, it’s a conflict that’s a reflection of our generation about what is our place in the world. What can we offer to the world when we see the global stakes?” Olivier said in an interview earlier this year.
“Africa is the center of the world, so we are in between the political, the economic, the material fights in the world. How can we be the convergence; the center of all the interest? Maybe invent the next step for humanity. That’s mostly what the game is talking about, even if it’s on another planet, in another world.”
Aurion is a new refreshing story for readers who are trying to discover more about Africa. And also highlight different cultures in africa.
