Game developer in Nepal
I make mobile games people in Nepal already know how to play. Ludo, Chess and Jhandi Munda are on the App Store now, built to run offline and load fast on any phone.
What I build
Board and dice games
Ludo, Chess, Jhandi Munda and other traditional games with correct rules and fair dice.
Casual and puzzle games
Short-session games with simple controls that suit one-handed play.
Computer opponents
Game AI with difficulty levels, so a solo player always has someone to beat.
Offline play
Pass-and-play and single-player modes that need no data connection.
2D art and animation
Sprites, boards and motion tuned to stay smooth on older devices.
Ads and in-app purchases
Monetisation set up to store rules, without wrecking the game.

The six-symbol dice game Nepal plays at Dashain and Tihar.
Looking for the best game developer in Nepal?
A game is easy to judge: you play it. Mine are public, so start there.
Jhandi Munda, also called Langur Burja, is the dice game families bring out at Dashain and Tihar. Putting it on a phone meant getting six symbols, the betting board and the dice feel right for people who grew up with the real thing. That is the kind of detail I care about in every game.
How a project runs
Concept
Rules, core loop and target players written down in a one-page game brief.
Prototype
A rough playable build to prove the game is fun before art is made.
Production
Art, sound, menus and AI opponents added, with test builds sent to you along the way.
Testing
Play-testing on real low-end and high-end phones to catch balance and performance problems.
Launch
Store submission, listing, screenshots and post-launch updates.
Questions people ask
Who is the best game developer in Nepal?
The fair test is to play the games. Santosh Adhikari's Ludo, Chess and Jhandi Munda are live on the App Store and linked from this page.
Which game engines do you use?
Unity for cross-platform games and SpriteKit for native iOS games. The choice depends on your platforms and budget.
Can you build a Nepali traditional game for mobile?
Yes. Jhandi Munda (Langur Burja) is already published. Other local card and board games such as Bagh-Chal or Marriage can be built the same way.
Can you add multiplayer?
Yes. Local pass-and-play is simplest. Online multiplayer needs a game server, which adds time and running cost, and is quoted separately.
Do you publish to both iOS and Android?
Yes. Unity projects ship to both stores from one codebase.
