Brikicho is a game I created that was on display at Documenta Fifteeen at Kassel, Germany as part of the Exploring Visual Cultures projects (July 2022)
This is an overview of the game characters. For more information on the game design process, check out my other project right here on Behance
The goal of the game is to find the required number of friends,race them and say tapo the required number of times, within the time limit stated at the beginning of each level.
The main Characters of the game are Boi and Nyau. Boi has to find and race his friends while avoiding getting caught by Nyau.
From the sketches below I came up with the final characters as shown.
Boi's shirt has a common African print design known as Dashiki.
Nyau's shirt bears a Maasai print.
The game involves a variety of interactions between the characters. For this to occur, they have to be mobile. Below are animations of their different states of mobility.
Below is a sample of the environment used in the game.
It is a stylized version of a Kenyan neighbourhood.
