About us
Established in 2018
Studio Overview
Arkadia Studio is a Yemeni design and development studio specializing in website development, game development, graphic design, and gamification.
Our concept as a studio is to make 100% Yemeni content by actual Yemenis to ensure authenticity. In addition to this statement, our team is full of young passion-driven developers and designers who are working intending to spread culture and awareness through a medium they love.
As a studio, we intend to make applications and games based on society’s needs. By using our team’s talents, experiences, and creativity, we can grab the public’s attention, given that we are close to the target audience’s age and have gaming experience, giving us a huge advantage. Furthermore, we hope to create more opportunities for talented youths and possibly inspire them to broaden this industry by pursuing it.
We want to improve our society by spreading peaceful messages through our projects while instilling hope in our people that we have something completely Yemeni-made with good intent and content.
