“Our flexibility in really trying things that are different is much broader,” Guha says. “It depends on what you look for as an individual. For us, we always look for that creative flexibility, and we always felt that if we weren’t out inventing ourselves, it didn’t matter how big or small you were, you weren’t going to be all that relevant in the future.”

Karthik concludes “It’s also nice to start with a clean slate, as scary as it is sometimes, and look at the future and see where the industry is going. And really go after things that other people are not.

“We are having a lot of fun. We are building this great team of scrappy, curious, smart folks, and it is just fun to be back in start-up mode. You see the industry from a different vantage point and it is scary and thrilling at the same time. We went through a lot of introspection when we left Vicarious, and we went back to why we got into games in the first place. We feel like kids again.”
