How are we doing at this hour ?
Well, like many other companies and studios in India and worldwide, we too had transitioned to a complete remote working setup and have been managing to build a lot more cooler games during the lock-down period. While most of us at the studio aren't a big fan of the work from home format, the challenging times meant we had to cope up and adapt and we are after all good at that. The biggest challenge with this format is coordination and correspondence. What would typically be a few minutes of conversation in person could end up taking multiple hours to make sure the message is sent across. You tend to be overly communicative and reiterate on stuff at times just to ensure that your team members get it. The last few weeks have enabled us to settle down and become a bit more productive. Some of us also end up working too many hours in a given day since the passage of time isn't really felt and the fact that you are pinned down in the same place. And yes that isn't necessarily a good thing.
The current challenging times also meant that the appetite for games and interactive content in general has grown many fold and we are sort of overwhelmed at how the demand for games has spiked. This has certainly put a lot of pressure on a smaller studio like us but a positive one to say the least.
So what have we been upto. Well, we have been managing to build a few games, some of which are done, close to done and some under development that we are keeping under wraps. In some sense, this blog also reveals some stuff that we have not announced yet but a sneak peek doesn't hurt we believe.
We are live on MX Player- We have begun to publish some of our titles on MX Player, a leading OTT and entertainment app. We are currently live with 3 titles- Tiny Army, Rampage Road and Doodle Drop and will be publishing a few more titles soon.
Our titles on MX Player
Sneak peek into some of the games
Ludo Play - Well, lets just say it makes sense to have a Ludo game as a developer from India and it ends with ‘Play’ so we will take it!
Carrom Play - Yes, we are indeed building a carrom game and it is shaping up well. We are looking to have multiple game modes including real multiplayer. We will be launching on various platforms soon!
Rampage Road - We think this was the first release right when the first lockdown began at the end of March. It's one of those super fast paced, arcade and old school type games that we really loved building and it went through a lot of polish to get that look and feel and gameplay right.The game is live on MX player. We also launched the game recently on the Jio Set Top Box.
Doodle Drop - A fun platformer where you need to constantly descend down onto moving platforms and you play as this little doodle kitten. It's live already on MX Player and we are launching soon on other leading platforms as well. It's fun to say the least and we understand the users are enjoying it.
Sling Racer - Not a very original title, but hey it's fun so why not build it for emerging platforms. The game’s almost ready and we are in the last 90% (polish, no kidding!)
Wild Rush a.k.a Jungle Fight - One of our turn based multiplayer games just got released on MPL. It's a fun turn based multiplayer game where you go head to head with your opponent in deploying the fiercest wild animals on different lanes to raid their base while protecting yours. It's one of those games we really enjoyed building and are glad to publish on a platform like MPL. Check the game out on the MPL app!
Pirate Tanks - A turn based Multiplayer with a cool fushion theme of Pirate ships meeting Tanks. You fire a variety of weapons from your cannon and wreck havoc on the opponent player. With its terrain destruction system, the gameplay is extremely dynamic and you got to plan your moves to emerge victorious. Check out the game on the MPL App!
Apart from these games, we are also working on something a bit more, should we say ambitious? It's still under wraps and we are looking to announce it soon. But man we cannot wait there!
Stay safe and keep playing all you nice people!
