Dimensions Games Studio closes after four years in Jordan
Key takeaways
- Studio closed after around four years in Jordan
- Founded in 2022 as a University of Jordan game development community
- Worked on Fajjah: Survivor, Match It and Collect The Fare
- Engaged thousands of young people through games and activities
Dimensions Games Studio has closed after around four years of activity in Jordan, founder Mustafa Dabaibeh announced in a statement on LinkedIn. Dabaibeh said difficult circumstances forced the shutdown, and he used the post to thank the community that grew around the studio.
The studio started in 2022 as a game development community at the University of Jordan after Dabaibeh's professor, Reem Alfayez, encouraged him to build a student group. That initial community grew into a startup focused on games that represented the local community; Dabaibeh wrote that “years flew by, and circumstances forced us to shut down.” He also emphasised the people and connections made during the studio’s run.
Over its four years, Dimensions Games Studio engaged thousands of young people through games and community activities and worked on several projects. Named titles include Fajjah: Survivor, a survival game inspired by Bedouin themes; Match It, a casual speed game; and Collect The Fare, which puts players behind the wheel of a Cairo microbus. Dabaibeh thanked everyone who supported the studio, participated in its activities, or believed in its work.
Why it matters
Takeaway: the studio’s network remains intact — Dabaibeh expressed hope that the community will continue collaborating on future projects, so the people and projects born at Dimensions could resurface in new forms elsewhere.
