India Makes Games
India’s video game landscape has had an immense, invigorating shift in the past several years.
More studios and developers are creating games; different initiatives are popping up to support studios; and India’s own government has begun to offer India-based game developers grants through arts funding.
Dwarven Brothers’ We Are So Cooked, a multiplayer hide-the-body comedic stealth game, is one representative of this wave of developers attracting a global audience. Before We Are So Cooked crossed half a million wishlists on Steam (and was among the more than 40 titles showcased in the India Games Showcase), funding, marketing, and garnering public interest were the team’s largest problems.
