About the Project
General Idea: The Mahabharata is a treasure trove of human insights, exploring universal themes and inspiring people across cultures. Mahabharata: The Quest of Pachisi is a digital game that provides an immersive, interactive way for learners to engage with this complex narrative. Inspired by Assassin's Creed's Discovery tours, the game transports players to ancient India, allowing them to experience the culture and values of the time through storytelling and gameplay. This immersive experience fosters a deeper understanding of the Mahabharata and its relevance in the modern world.
In this project, I co-wrote the design documents with my teammate Tanvi Vartak and developed this scene of demo in Unreal Engine 5. It was a valuable experience participating the creation of a work that relates to another ancient, mystery, but distant culture. During the development, I also gained experience in researching on unfamilar topics and assisting teammates in technical duties.
