Overview

Tepida Studios is a Nigerian game development and animation studio based in Lagos, focused on creating African-themed games and stories. The studio was founded in 2022 and describes itself as a launchpad for untold stories, while also working with clients on game development and interactive projects.

The studio's current catalogue includes Kasala, a fighting game built around Nigerian humour, characters and everyday experiences, and Ochanya Nurse Run, a 3D side-scrolling shooter set in a virus-infected hospital. Both games are available on Android, with Kasala also listed for iOS.

Tepida is also developing Cabal Hunt: Dawn of the Bounty Hunters, which is planned for PC, console and mobile. The studio says its games are designed with African players in mind, including an emphasis on lightweight builds and offline play for devices and connectivity conditions common across the continent.

Alongside its own games, Tepida offers game design, development, testing, art and animation, UI/UX, publishing and other services for clients.
