Overview
LightXud Studio is a Lagos-based independent game development studio working on locally inspired games. The studio is currently developing Danfo Saga, a game centred on Lagos' danfo transport culture and the experience of working as a bus conductor. The project was originally announced as How to Be a Conductor in Lagos before being renamed Danfo Saga.
Danfo Saga draws on the hustle, culture, chaos and humour of Lagos life, with the studio using the city's public transport system as the foundation for its gameplay and setting. The game began as a project by David Ayokanmi, who originally created a prototype as a practice project using Unreal Engine, Maya and Blender before the team moved the project into production.
The studio has continued developing the game while building an audience around the project. LightXud said an earlier version of How to Be a Conductor in Lagos had reached more than 446,000 people across social media before the team moved towards production.
