We Play By Our Own Rules

KaPa ENT LLC, founded in 2017 by Kaleb Parham, emerged from his long-standing passion for game development. For years, Kaleb had been crafting games for the sheer joy of it. In 2016, after the release of his last game, after he released his last game, he began noticing some notable trends in the gaming world.

While blockbuster games offered extraordinary experiences, they often clung to the same game formula. At the same time, game genres like beat-em-ups, shmups, and puzzles were fading away, reminiscent of their arcade heydays but struggling to adapt to the modern gaming landscape.

Kaleb also couldn’t help but notice the underrepresentation of black main characters in video games. Only a few games boasted predominantly black casts, and most of them were relics from the mid-2000s.

Furthermore, when games did introduce black characters, they often resorted to stereotypes or incorporated them for political reasons. There were very few that didn’t fit into these established molds.

KaPa ENT steps into this gaming landscape to breathe new life into neglected genres and to shine a spotlight on games with predominantly black characters. Every game we create focuses on either one of these aspects or both, promising a fresh, distinct gaming experience.”
