Ranbhoomi - Kurukshetra wins in Communication Design at DNA Paris

The game was an effort of love, research and design. Built on a shoestring budget with passion it is a bestseller in the Indie games category of India. Congrats to the Sutradhar team that worked on it. Gaurav Tiwari Satish Meena Anupam Tathawadekar Keyur Karvande and myself Shaunak Samvatsar. A good decision was to take on Studio Bandwagon Vivek Vikram Singh and Akash Ranjan to design the game to a finished product. The game launch was an adventure in itself. Most Indie games are launched with explainer videos, we wanted a marketing video which external vendors quoted 8L for. We shut them down and decided to do inhouse. Gaurav and I designed the narrative, I storyboarded the same with limited camera moves, dynamic angles and careful blocking. Anupam did the 2D animation and Keyur used his blender knowledge to animate. We created a blockbuster. https://dna.paris/winner/zoom.php?eid=71-92123-24 https://playranbhoomi.com/

Story Shortlisted for San Diego Comic Con 2024.

A few days ago I came across a call for stories by the legendary Scott Morse, his goal was to turn them into 1 page comics live at San Diego Comic Con. I jumped at the opportunity to showcase my work to an international audience and wrote a few stories outside my comfort zone of comedy as the theme was Space/Crime. An lo I was shortlisted!! So if anyone in my network is going to #SDCC24 please to visit Scott.
