Look for a new weekly interview or discussion on current and relevant game industry development topics every Friday!

Last August, I met with the co-founders of Hypernova, a mobile game studio building a mobile GTA for India. It was very cool to visit their game studio and see how the company operates.

Come with me as I show you first-hand the inner workings of Hypernova.

I also interviewed Mayur Bhimjiyani, the CEO of Hypernova, last year.

A Game Dev Story: Hypernova Interactive Studio Tour

In Bangalore's bustling tech hub, nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of HSR Layout, lies Hypernova Interactive—a mobile game development studio on a mission to bring gamers a truly Indian open-world experience. Founded by the dynamic duo of Mayur Bhimjiyani and Huzaifa Arab, Hypernova has honed its game development skills for the past eight years with a portfolio of 52 games.

The studio's latest game, Mayanagri, is an ambitious project that aims to be India's answer to the wildly popular Grand Theft Auto series.

The heart and soul of Hypernova lies in its youthful and passionate team, with an average age of just 24-25 years. The studio's culture is built on the foundation of creativity, collaboration, and a deep love for gaming.

As Hypernova gears up for the release of Mayanagri, the studio remains tight-lipped about the exact launch date. However, they have been actively engaging with their community, offering sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the game's development. In a bold move, Hypernova is set to release the game's first song, complete with a music video - a testament to their commitment to creating a truly immersive and culturally resonant experience.
