The #battleroyale genre stands out prominently among all genres of games in India, thanks to the widespread attention garnered by several games. This is especially true for games like #BGMI and Free Fire, which have deeply engaged India's youth. Additionally, there has been a meteoric rise in the popularity of Indian gaming content creators, largely driven by mobile gaming.
Speaking of mobile gaming, Shaurya Sharma from News18 Tech engaged in a brief conversation about the state of battle royale games with Roby John, the CEO, and founder of #SuperGaming. The Pune-based developer is the brain behind the upcoming ‘Indo-futuristic’ battle royale game, Indus. During this discussion, we inquired about Indus' current development status, the inspiration driving the game, and the prerequisites for entering the game development industry.
In our exclusive video interview, Roby revealed that Indus has made significant progress in its development cycle and “is at a point where they can predict the release date.” But prior to the official launch, gamers will get to experience the game's closed beta stage—which is expected to be available around the time of the Indian festive season.
Furthermore, we asked Roby about the prerequisites of pursuing game development as a career. He emphasized that “listening to how games are made is one of the best educational learnings one can get.” And with the abundant learning resources available on the internet, he believes, one does not necessarily need to go to a real college to do most of the things” game developers do. Nevertheless, he acknowledges the social benefits of attending college and obtaining a formal degree. Roby also highlights the significance of interaction and knowledge-sharing among game developers and enthusiasts, as this collaborative engagement immensely enhances one's skill set.
Roby offers further insights into the gaming industry's landscape, particularly how battle royale games have significantly influenced its trajectory.
