When it comes to development hubs, one of the less discussed areas of the world is India. However, we've always kept a keen eye on upcoming projects from this region, such as Indus Battle Royale, pondering what they signify for the future of Indian game development. It seems the future might be here now, with the upcoming 3D platformer Lokko.
Lokko is the brainchild of the India-based developer Appy Monkeys, created in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project. This incubator initiative works with Indian developers to help them craft their next big hit. Lokko, a 3D platformer, is the result of this partnership, featuring level editors and an in-depth avatar creator. The game's mission? Deliver pizzas on time while battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Lokko is its cross-platform and cross-play compatibility across mobile, PC, and PS5, coupled with the integration of Dualshock features across all versions.
Lokko-motionLokko encapsulates many of the best elements found in modern gaming successes. It offers character customization and level creation, sporting a relatively low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of Roblox, yet it's bolstered by the power of PlayStation, positioning it as a potential competitor to such platforms.
In terms of gameplay, Lokko may not be breaking new ground, but what Appy Monkeys have in development appears solid and promising. I'm also eager to see what other projects emerge from the India Hero Project.
While a specific release date for Lokko has not been set beyond "sometime this year," you can explore another fantastic indie title that has recently gone cross-platform: the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge from Black Salt Games!
