About Atman Software

Hi,

Back in 1999, as soon as I got out of college, I decided I was going to write computer games, not necessarily for a living, but simply because that's what I wanted to do.

After much prolonged pondering I decided to call the new outfit Atman Software. The word Atman means ‘the self’ in Sanskrit.

And for Atman’s first game, for various reasons , I decided to write a DOS based 3D simulation of the Rubik’s cube. The game was released in 2001 and distributed as freeware.

I was happy with what I had achieved but not quite content. So I decided to write a commercial game with much improved technology. And that’s how what would eventually go on to become io got started in 2002.

It took 6 years to finish io and io was made almost single-handedly. I look at io now and I’m happy but not really content, yet again.

I dream of a day when Atman Software would be a team of similar-minded people all doing what they love doing, combining great art with great technology to make great games.

But whether that day may come or not, Atman software will continue to develop games. At Atman we simply shut up and work. No hype and No crap.

Atman Software is an independent game developer based in Bangalore, India that I own and run. I do the programming, the design, the content creation, the marketing, the tech support and the janitorial work.

I believe that Atman Software has many a mile to go before it can firmly stand with its feet in the sand, its shoulders thrown out and head held high; and go that distance, Atman will.

Welcome to Atman and welcome... to Atman Software.
