ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Well to start "BFK" is the Placeholder name for the current game in progress. A first-person game based in South Africa, I don't want to give away too much but it will be full of comedy with a story that has been years in planning.
THE BACKGROUND
Arcade Kwagga is an Idea to create a 3d design and Game studio based here locally in South Africa to develop and create animations, games and 3d printed products and designs in our own back yard.
We don't want to compete with other companies but would love to have the chance to get our own Ideas out into the world. Starting with our flagship project BFK (Hint South Africa meets the open world game platform).
THE PLAN
To kick start our plan I need to Upgrade my current hardware as I don't meet the minimum PC specs to fully use the game engine (Unreal 5).
I will use the resources gained to purchase the necessary pc and recording equipment to move into the production phase of the game (Planning to release mid 2026).
