• Ensure the game is intuitive and accessible for a broad, general audience
• Optimize game performance across target platforms

• Document design decisions and development processes for future team members

• Experience with a game engine such as Unity or Unreal Engine
• A strong portfolio demonstrating prior game development or design work
• Ability to work independently in an early-stage, resource-constrained environment
• Genuine interest in Indian culture, philosophy, or heritage is a strong plus
