Samarth Hattangady is a game developer based in Bengaluru with 10 years of software experience, focused on crafting cozy, emergent systems-driven games that prioritize joy and meaningful interactions. He shipped Konkan Coast Pirate Solutions on Steam and used that process to deepen his skills in game design, marketing, and platform publishing. Comfortable across frontend, backend and cloud stacks from past roles, Samarth brings a full-stack engineering mindset to game development—Python, JS, AWS and UX-informed product work are part of his toolkit. His career includes early-stage product engineering at drone and video startups, where he built data pipelines, DRM clients and interactive web proofs-of-concept, showing a knack for practical, cross-disciplinary solutions. He also spent a sabbatical travelling and reflecting on workflow and purpose, which informs the thoughtful, player-centered systems he now builds. Notably, he was selected as an Astra Games Fellow in 2023, underscoring his growing recognition in the indie games community.
