OUR STORY

In September 2022, Pineapple on Pizza Studios was founded to allow a group of friends and artists to make games, have fun doing it, and uniting artists in the process.

In 2023 we were incubated by Tshimologong Precinct and became part of the Telkom Digital Future Makers program.

During 2023 we were nominated for, and took home various awards and prizes including:
- Fakugesi Rising Star (Winner)
-Games Industry Africa Rising Star (Nominee)
-2nd Place Ayoba Hackathon 

In 2024
We graduated from the Google Indie Games Accelerator,
as well as the Creation Africa program supported by the French Embassy to South Africa (IFAS)!
These programs took us all the way to India and France as we attended a host of business and tech conferences, connecting with studios across the world.
