Antariksha Sanchar is a point-and-click adventure inspired by the dream theorems of prodigious mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan and originating from an opera by the classical dancer Jayalakshmi Eshwar. It takes place in the early 1920s in a temple town in South India.

Quicksand GamesLab is seeking to amplify India’s timeless philosophies and vibrant mythologies, and to create an inspiring Indian narrative that celebrates the puzzling magnificence of Indian culture in a secular, interactive and accessible format.

Indian culture is a dynamic, free-flowing, encompassing expression of the Universe and its unsolvable magic. The Antariksha Sanchar project will connect these ancient expressions with our digital culture and retain them for future generations in an innocent and inspirational form.

The game has been Greenlit and its first episode, Antariksha Sanchar: Episode Zero, is set to be released in September 2016 for Windows and Mac.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal. "I put my heart and soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process." - Vincent Van Gogh "I need solitude for my writing; not like a hermit - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man." - Franz Kafka "I've been to hell and back, my boy." - Susan Ashworth, The Cat Lady
