Leading Indian game developer GameShastra has had great success thus far with ‘Minis’, Sony’s “snackable” bits of gaming goodness which were originally exclusive to the PSP, but have since been brought to the PlayStation 3 via emulation. The developers have now set their sights on something a bit bigger, further expanding their already strong relationship with Sony.
GameShastra has announced ‘Desi Adda’, a new PSP based game and the first Indian-based game for the PlayStation 3 named “Eklavya”. The developer also revealed a new growth plan catering to the growing demand of its services worldwide. The company has expanded its game development facility to a team of over 1,000 game designers, artists, animators, developers and QA specialists based in the firm’s center in Hyderabad.
Prakash Ahuja, CEO of GameShastra, said:
