Bodaman is an open-world boda boda game from PlusBoda, the Ugandan rides app. Part 1, The Helmet, follows Kizito, a university graduate with no job and his retired uncle's tired old motorcycle, across five cities around one lake. It is coming soon to PC and Mac; the first trailer is at plusboda.com/bodaman.
The story
Kizito starts with rolex deliveries and becomes a ride-hailing star, until the global app leaves overnight and he builds one the riders own. The road runs around Lake Nalubaale, through five cities, to a politician who only ever phones.
Along the way: Jjajja, Mama Rolex at Kasolo Stage, JM the co-founder, Afande Twino of the traffic police, and Bosco, a porter at Owiny Market.
The world
Five cities around one lake: Kampa (Uganda), Kisuma (Kenya), Mwanzi (Tanzania), Kivu Heights (Rwanda) and New Juba (South Sudan). The trailer is captured in-engine.
