It was a pleasant piece of information I chanced upon. I was surfing the net for some visual research on "Art style and Games". There I came across a game called " a Little Turbulence " which reminded me a mobile game I was working on and was left unfinished due to fund crunch. I felt a little bad because the game had the potential, if given the right push could have been a good play. I moved on. almost forgot about it and was busy in new work environment, a different kind of set up. I could not keep the discovery of  ALT with me, I shared the link with my previous boss. The surprise was from him, he sent me mail about the publishing of the game on both platforms iPhone and Android. Though the game they published is not polished, the fact is they got it out and the story is exciting. and I like the music they have done. there was only a generic loop in demo version with place holder noise effects. here is the Game summary: The Cloud Catcher mobile game...

 I play social games. I am a regular player at Facebook Farmville. Recently, I have been playing Karma Kingdom. want to know why? this game feature some of my art. yes, I am working with Asvathaa Inc. apart from mobile game design and art creation we are maintaining this Facebook social game.   We create seasonal release update. thinking up new assets, themes and quests. It is exciting and a lot of work as well. Here is a image showing my initial attempts to get the hang of the game's existing unique art style. It's very organic and repeats the Indian spiral curl motif.

This is one of the many visual design projects for online games done at emantras media labs, Gurgaon. ( http://mlab.emantras.com ) Working for game design is not very distant from animation film making. It also has characters, background, layout, story and motion. Only thing is it doesn’t follow a very restricted liner sequence and sometimes might defy certain cinematic fundamentals.
