Our Game Production Incubator team of 2025/26 is almost ready to release their fully playable vertical slice demo of there fast-paced action game IKHAYA next month.
After developing the game entirely from scratch for now almost 12 months the team, consisting of our Game course Alumni from 2024, has only a few weeks left to implement all the still missing features and elements that will be featured in the demo.
As a young game development team this is a huge moment as it will show if international audiences will like the game and it will be developed further.
The demo will be available on Itch and later on Steam for public audiences to play.
