To the game developers of India
I am not a game developer myself. I recently played Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and it blew me away. The story, the plot, the music, the art, the characters, the graphics everything. And i thought if only our country had something like this. But then i realised there is no lack of talent or source material. I am from bengal and we have a beautiful collection of fairytales and folklore that is inherently indian. It is called "Thakumar jhuli" [Grandmother's Bag (of tales)] written by Shri Dakshinaranjan Mitra Majumder. If such a game were made, with as much love as Sandfall Interactive have put in their game in terms of music, graphics, art and voice acting, it could give our country an immense boost in terms of soft power, perhaps to the levels of what Black Myth Wukong did for Chinese folklore. It would expose the world to the beautiful fairytales that our country has to offer. The stories have the potential to be made into a Soulslike RPG at par with Elden Ring. We have the talent, we have coders and game developers working in several big shot AAA companies like Rockstar, we have artists who are well acquainted with our culture and heritage, we have musicians who are talented as well. I genuinely hope that some day something like this is made that represents all the stories our country has to offer to the world and would like the world to experience our beautiful and vibrant culture.
