In a recent meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned about the huge potential of digital games in boosting toy manufacturing in India. The gaming industry has been growing really fast in India in recent years. India has a rich and long history with a countless amount of folktale and they can be served as great materials for great games.
Game development is currently one of the biggest industries in the world with many multi-million dollar companies such as Blizzard, Valve, Activision, Bethesda, Nintendo,... While this industry is not really big in India yet, it has great potential as more and more investors and sponsors are coming to the scene.
In fact, there have been some really great games made in India already, notably Raji: The Ancient Epic. Raji: An Ancient Epic is an action-adventure game set in ancient India. You will be controlling a young girl named Raji, who has been chosen by the gods to stand against the demonic invasion of the human realm. The game is heavily based on Indian culture and folklore. It is expected to be released later this year.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is also another that was based heavily on Indian history and mythology. The game was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PS4 in 2017. The game was a great success and it was nominated for many different awards.
These are the undeniable proof that Indian culture can be great material for game development and it will help the youth in India to know more and appreciate their own culture.
