GAMER'S ARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS
WHO ARE WE?
GlobalGamePlay
(Pty) Ltd is a start-up company that offers both a gaming service while also developing video games that are authentic to our culture. Global GamePlay is based in southern Africa in a country called Botswana. We are planning to provide a free gaming service for people looking to play non-competitively and we hope this will help us attract people seeking alternative sources of leisure and draw them away from bad pastime activities like consumption of alcohol and drug abuse. We planning to generate revenue by providing a competitive gaming service that can see customers stand a chance to win cash prizes. This will prove to be valuable to our customers as they will be able to make money through playing video games.
We are also develop video games for computers, gaming consoles and smart mobile phones. We already have a team of 3 developers and we are going to need a lot more team members for bigger projects. This will create a lot of jobs. The game we are currently working on and planning to release late next year (2020) is a competitive third person sandbox game, we are calling it FreeWill In GC. The idea around this game to create an accurate 3d model of Gaborone then introduce an avatar that the end-user will be able to control to explore and interact with the 3d city the idea is create a highly interactive game that is authentic to our culture.
The game will basically have two modes of play, A realistic version of carrying out missions and an unrealistic version of carrying out missions. An Example of an realistic version is that within the game a player might have a mission that requires them to start a company or business and in the game the player would have to visit CIPA offices and register a company then go find a company secretary and just like that the player will be assigned task to complete which are tasks that actually exist in the real world. We also want to create this game into an eSport title that is very authentic to the African culture and this is going to be valuable because the eSports industry is showing rapid growth among youth around the world.
As a startup gaming company in Africa we are betting on the future and that is, In 10 years we believe competitive gaming is going to be one of the biggest spectator sport in the world and by that time we want to have created and captured our own niche from this booming industry.
