The Studio
.............................................................................................................................
TigerTail Studios is a casual game development studio based in Hyderabad, India. Our goal is to develop great games that people love to play.
Our focus at present is on online and iPhone games, and we work on both single-player and multi-player (synchronous, asynchronous and social) games.
Why?
Or how it all began .............................................................................................................................
We get asked this quite often. Or variants.
Are you sure you want to quit Oracle to do this? Think of what this does to your value on the marriage market.
You gave up a job offer worth how much? What were you smoking?
Tiger Tail? Way to go, dude! I never knew you were into this animal conservation stuff, man!
So why exactly did three sane individuals (okay, maybe calling Shubhank that is a stretch) come together to do TigerTail? For us, it's all about the joy of creation. Has there ever been a time when you've played a great game, or watched an awesome film, or read a wonderful book, or even sunk your teeth into a wondefully made meal, and while luxuriating in the wonder of the moment gone "Wow, man! That was AWESOME! I wish I could make something like that".
And THAT is why we do it. That is the kind of games we want to create and the reaction we hope to bring out.
A little more about the core team below.
Mansur
.............................................................................................................................
CEO. Part-time game designer. Coffee-maker.
In an earlier avatar as software engineer at IBM, was known to hate management because of their general incompetence, empty talk and lack of value to an organization. 2 years at IIM Ahmedabad convinced him that he was wrong. No longer believes that talk is not valuable to an organization.
Loves strategy, simulation and adventure games. Rates Simcity, Commandos and the Zelda series as his all-time favorites. Big Nintendo fan-boy and tends to use Zelda and Mario as examples in all discussions. Hard-core casual gamer.
Sankar
.............................................................................................................................
CTO, Part-time game artist. Coffee-frother.
In an earlier avatar as software engineer at Oracle, was known to hate management because of their general incompetence, empty talk and lack of value to an organization. Secretly still does, but is worried about the consequences of letting Mansur know that. Brilliant programmer. The person to blame if any of the TigerTail games crash.
Loves Half-Life 2 above all else. Is known to moan "Gordon Freeman" in his sleep. Is also a big fan of the Commandos and NFS series'. Is known to quote examples from Half-Life in all discussions.
Shubhank
.............................................................................................................................
Head of design. Part-time Flash specialist. Coffee-drinker.
Is sick of examples from Half-Life, Zelda and Mario. The creative soul of TigerTail Studios. Which is why when someone asks us if we've sold our soul to the devil, we usually say that our soul IS the devil.
Rates the Thief series as his all-time favourite. Also loves horror games. His roommate once walked in on him when he was playing Fear and nearly had a heart attack. It was probably not because of the game.
