New Job Ahoy!

After a long break of random learning curves and a few small contract jobs, I'm finally appointed to "Knowledge Adventure India Pvt. Ltd." as a "Game Artist". Full-time. :)

Hope my stay here is comfortable for my colleagues as well as me. There were a few particular reasons I joined this company. The most important being, the company deals with Children Games. Yes, you heard me right: "Children Games". You must be wondering what made a Game Artist, who's a hardcore Shooter-head get into development of Children Games. Well here it is:

For ages developers have deviated from the root cause of a video game. It was to make children happy. These days it's just turning into a gore-fest. If everybody is making games for teenagers and mature people, who'll be the ones to carry the tradition. Well I'm proud to say I'll try to be one. :)

Moreover KA doesn't only make children games, it tries to educate and train children up through these so-called edutainment-type video games. It might not have the most complicatedly realistic AI activities, but it ACTUALLY has something which will pave the path of a REAL future for a child ahead.

And yeah, I've somewhat relocated to Bengaluru (Bangalore) for a couple of years. ;)
