New spiderverse looks sick!!! In one part of the trailer, it seems like Miles is in India, I can see Hindi signs.

Hey #pitchyagame ! Once again, pitching Venba! A game where you play as an immigrant mother, cooking various delicious dishes.
Here's a cooking montage for a family dinner that transitions directly into gameplay
(We scored it with a 80s Tamil song, so watch with audio!)
It's #screenshotsaturday but this post is about our game's sound design.
, our sound designer, went above and beyond to capture the sounds of our games and recreate it as authentically as possible.
Here's a video showing how she did it and how it's used in game!

We've been making Chicken Rasam multiple times this week for✨RESEARCH✨
You know what, we should research more probably...
One of the coolest things about working on Venba is I get to cook a lot more and call it "Research"
Here are some of my favorite things I cooked last year!
In Venba, since lot of our ingredients might be new to many players, we display a helpful prompt anytime you select any ingredient!
Have you ever had Biriyani?
In our last TikTok, we show how Biriyani is made in Venba!

We're a tiny team and when Venba suddenly blew up, there were a lot of things we had to take care of which we couldn't have done without Popagenda.
They were with us every step of the way to guide and help us and they're wonderful people to work with 🙏🙏🙏

#Venba 英語のみ。
インド→カナダ移民の生活を、料理を通じて知る。深刻な場面もあるが押し付けがましくない。ゲーム文化を知らない人に遊んでほしいし、ゲーム関係ないメディアで紹介してほしい。
映像や音の進化とは別の方向で「あ、今どきのゲームこんな豊かになってるんだ」と知るだろう。
The team is making biriyani this weekend and I was asked for a grocery list.
To check if I had everything, I just instinctively opened the biriyani level in Venba to see the list of items and just realized I used Venba as a recipe book and how cool it is that I can do that!!!
I can't waitttt for you all to hear the music in Venba!!!
Here's a small glimpse:
Venba is a narrative, cooking and apparently✨horror ✨ game
Thanks to the new Views feature, everyone can tell that my mistake of posting an incorrect image with floating glasses was seen by over 3 million people!
The response to our wholesome games feature is overwhelming! Huge thanks to the crew for letting us be part of their showcase again!
In many ways, Venba's journey began with being featured in a wholesome direct so it felt fitting that it should end in one too!
Some screenshots from Venba, our narrative cooking game.

Absolutely wild to be on the same list as Zelda
We're featured in Kotaku!!!
Meet Paavalan, Venba's husband. He was a writer back home and while he doesn't get to write professionally as much now, he still finds time to write at night every now and then.
Really happy and surreal to see one of the biggest press outlets back home cover Venba!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Venba team!!
Every level starts with this calendar which apart from showing the date also has a small poem by Valluvar, an amazing Tamil poet.
Fun fact: These poems he wrote follows strict rules and falls under a special category.
Funner fact: These special poems are called Venba. 😊😊
Ahh so happy to see Venba and Thirsty here!!
2023 is a going to be good year😊😊

The kind of portion size Indian parents expect their kids to eat
Well anyways, here's a thread of Indian food made by me or my friends with more than one spice
Starting with Beef Biriyani. At least 20+ spices in this one
South Indians are famously non-vegetarian tho. Kerala and TN openly defied the beef ban for ex.
The diaspora overrepresents Brahmin/upper castes who follow vegetarian diets (and often make life harder for those who don't)
I hope I can show how diverse our cuisine is in Venba. twitter.com/meena/status/1
