The thoughtful and well-designed interiors of the office is something that will leave one pondering – ‘oriental platter, desi tadka’ is the vision for this up-and-coming gaming studio.
Media Release
Udupi, Oct 22: 99Games is a super-indie studio which has built some well-known games including that of Yashraj film titles like Dhoom:3 The Game, Sultan: The Game, and a global cooking game called Star Chef.
99Games has till date published 22 Game titles which have clocked over 100 million downloads globally.
Post their move from the well-known Robosoft campus in Udupi, 99Games flew out of its nest to create one of its own. They found their calling in the heart of Udupi – Mahalaxmi Towers, near old taluk office circle.
When asked about the inspiration behind their stunning workspace, they simply picked their most successful title Star Chef and gave life to the virtual concept in the form of their new office. Now, employees not only work on games, but they also work in a game.
The office feels like an oriental platter, with the twist of desi tadka. The pantry area makes one hungry even if full, and the gaming zone they have got installed takes one back to childhood care-free days. With all the state-of-the-art amenities, they have still managed to keep Udupi at the crux of it all.
The best part of this stylized workplace is flexibility and a revolutionary work culture in Udupi. Work from home has everyone wrapped around its finger for the sheer flexibility of it. If one liked working sprawled on a couch, they have got the fluffiest couch so one can continue doing so. If someone liked attending zoom meetings swinging on their garden swing, they will do one better and install a sofa swing right in the office with a view. How about those quick bites that mom would prepare while one is preparing the last few slides of the presentation? Well, don’t think they can replace mom’s cooking but there are eat-work tables stationed so one can eat and work simultaneously – whatever floats one’s boat.
Coming to the location, they have hit a jackpot. If anyone is a fitness/sport freak, there is a whole sports stadium/gym right down the street called the Ajjarkad stadium. If one loves to cook in free time, a sprawling Reliance mall is probably a few feet away from the office. If one loves himself, there is some nature-time on weekends - Malpe, St Mary’s, Delta Point, Hanging Bridge, Manipal Lake… the list goes on.
A team of 100+ in Udupi building games for the global audience speaks volumes about their achievements. They are always on the lookout for fresh talent to scale up their team. And being a super-indie studio always has a very rare perk – the achievement, big or small, is always recognized.
