Indian Gaming Industry

With the game development industry in India seemingly in a growth phase (albeit in fits and starts), it is time for developers to think ahead and look for ways to achieve global acceptance for their products. With a reasonable Indian market still years away, most developers seem to be focused on making games that western ( and perhaps Japanese and other Asian) audiences will buy, and they're quite justified in this outlook.

 

The question is, just what kind of games from India will global audiences like?

 

A message there for game developers!!!!!!!!!

I would like to see an industry that has the vision and confidence to take the route of making original, Indian content as opposed to churning out job work or me-too products that are Indian purely by virtue of being made here. I am convinced that the talent and ability abound – it's only a question of taking the leap of faith.

Yes, it's risky. Job work certainly pays off much better in the short run – and I'm certainly not suggesting that companies drop lucrative contracts to chase vague ideals. What I'm trying to say is that companies who manage to find the resources and will to make high quality products free of preconceived and rigid notions of what will work internationally and what won't, will be rewarded with much larger long-term profits and respect from the global industry.
