This would be a good place to introduce myself and go down the “past” lane.

(There have often been times where people consider me as a management personnel, sometimes as designer and sometimes as a programmer)

I am Sumit Mehra and I am working as a Game Designer and Program Manager at Microsoft Casual Games Group. I have shipped 3 Titles in my amazing year spent (UNO for XBLA, MSN Messenger and MSN Games, Sudoku Too and Chess for MSN Games) and I look forward to making great games.

Before MS I was working with EA Mobile, my stay there was short but great. I wanted to try my hands on Mobile Gaming but I realized it was not my cupp-a-tea.


Before EA I was working with Paradox Studios for almost 5 + Years. I was the lead programmer for BattleDust: The Championship which shipped with 8 additional mini games. This project took us 2 years to complete, but I am proud to say we completed a full game and it got shipped

I was the Game Designer for Shaatranj and Bomberbabe, which surprisingly did great business in Italy.

Before Paradox I was a Programmer at Netillennium Technologies (first pronounce and then spell that correctly, and you win a beer on me) – where I programmed and designed a gaming portal, which many would have heard or visited Passion4Games.com

My life in gaming has just begun, I have spent 7+ years working in games and I have never stopped liking it. There were frustrating times, fighting times, mgmt hatred times, project delays, project shelving, and a whole lot of crap - but if I sit back and look, it was all WORTH IT.

Three cheers for all of us here, maybe we would all go down in history books. Pioneers who left no stone unturned to move ahead the Indian Gaming Industry full throttle.

Here was a change, and wow gold here were claims which could not but operate! She might have disdained him in all the dignity of angry virtue, in the wow gold grounds of Sotherton, or the theatre at Mansfield Park; but he approached her now with rights that demanded different treatment. She must be courteous, and she must be compassionate. She must have a sensation of being honoured, and whether thinking of herself or her brother, she must have a strong wow gold feeling of gratitude. The effect of the whole was a manner so pitying and agitated, and words intermingled with her refusal so expressive of obligation and concern, that to a temper of vanity and hope like Crawford's, the truth, or at least the strength of her indifference, might well be questionable; and he wow power leveling was not so irrational as Fanny considered him, in the professions of persevering, assiduous, and not desponding attachment which closed the interview. weiwei1978123
