Indian game site GameGuru interviewed the team behind upcoming PC title and possible Xbox 360 port Mahabharata: The Dawn of Kaliyuga — A game created by Gujarat-based dev Syncere Arts. Says the team:
Being avid gamers and of Indian origin naturally we would like to see a product based on the material of our homeland. The Indian film industry does very well in India and worldwide in general, so we know that there is a large market for Indian material. We see the game industry as a natural extension in the entertainment medium and judging from the North American market it is successfully competing for the entertainment budget. We feel the time has come in India where the gaming industry will grow as an entertainment medium and is ready for a native 'big hit' as it were.
While the Xbox 360 is struggling in India, this nascent market is just waiting to be tapped. But without a strong gaming culture and lacking infrastructure, the real question is "when?" Brian Ashcraft
