With many indie game development studios springing up throughout the country, even the big players are looking forward towards tapping the huge potential that the country’s gaming industry might have.
The most recent to join the bandwagon is Viaan Studios. It was initiated by famed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra and her husband Raj Kundra. The recently opened studio is the latest venture of the couple and comes in from their mobile manufacturer wing, Viaan Industries.
The most intriguing part about the studio is that it already has a roadmap of the games that they will be releasing over the course of time (till 2018). This hints to the facts that the studio might have already been working on creating titles, much before it was even revealed. The studio will not only be restricted to a single platform, but plans to release titles on various platforms including mobiles, PCs and consoles.
In a press release, Raj Kundra said, “We plan to target the 150 million mobile gamers in India with high-end, free-to-play games – and we’ll also offer premium titles to the wider international game market,” further saying, “We plan to tap into the global game market by releasing new mobile games every quarter, entering partnerships in India, and developing triple-A console games for the core market in the next two years.”
Their first release would be a mobile game called Survival Block, which is a zombie survival game, with further PC and console titles planned for near future releases.
