Briefly
PixAalaya creating 3 variants for its IP
Motivated by the good showing of Clan Clash, the DVD game for which Pixaalaya delivered 130 minutes of pre rendered animation a few months ago, the studio has now begun work on 2 IPs.

The game which was released in Europe by the client through Take2, was adapted into 6 major European languages.

Says Pixaalaya CEO Sukumar Subramanian,"We are currently working on two very interesting IP’s which attracted quite a lot of interest in Europe, and again all the IP’s which PixAalaya studios make will be to cater our own country. So as a strategy we are creating 3 variation of the script, to cater the Indian, European and US market"

Pixalaaya is also working on another gaming project which it has secured from a UK client. The project is in its initial pre production stage.
