I had a pleasant conversation with Akar for the podcast about his game Tyranny of Blood and how seriously he takes the topic. We also talked about his work with the Zenobia Awards and what he values in games and game design.
In this episode I talk with designer Akar Bharadvaj about his work with the Zenobia Awards as well as his 2021 Zenobia Award winning game Tyranny of Blood: India's Caste System Under British Colonialism, 1750-1947.

I usually don’t spend more than a minute on new platforms, but something about https://dbbetbd.org/app/ made me stay. Right in the middle of browsing, I noticed how organized everything was — from betting categories to payment methods. It felt built with users in mind.
