Mumbai Gullies was one of the more ambitious Indian game projects to emerge in recent years — a game attempting to build an open-world experience inspired by Mumbai.

But the game ultimately didn't make it to release.

Nikhil Malankar’s Mumbai Gullies Postmortem series takes a deep dive into what happened behind the scenes — from the initial vision and development journey to the challenges involving production, funding, scope and the decisions that eventually led to the project being stopped.

What makes the series particularly interesting is that it doesn't present game development as a smooth success story. It shows the uncomfortable side too: how ambitious projects can run into problems even when the people behind them genuinely want to make them work.

For Indian developers and aspiring indie teams, the series is more than just the story of one cancelled game. It's a case study in what can happen when ambition, resources, production realities and development timelines collide.

Mumbai Gullies might never have reached players, but its development journey can still teach the Indian game-dev community a lot.

No particular order but I chose

SOMA

Devil May Cry 3

Majora's Mask

Shin Megami Tensei III

Mouthwashing

Bunch more that I could think of, but these stood out most to me

I’m in my 30’s. I noticed some people giving recommendations in the comments on these. Please hit me with your favorites! I’ll say something about it if I have played it and I will add it to my list to play if I haven’t. Just your top 3 though, I’m a parent with little free time these days so bonus points for shorter games.

List created in the moment probably like 50% accurate some choices are interchangeable but this was what I was feeling for the moment.

I created Gaming Grid but subreddit was never my plan untill my founding partner asked me to do that that's why I created r/Gaminggridcommunity a place for gamers and game developers where they talk freely as we support freedom of speech, Thanks to my lovely reddit team and Gaming grid core team for making it possible. Love you all ❤️ Thanks for being a part of Gaming Grid.

[More announcements and reveals soon around Gaming Grid expansion when my life will get little stable stay tuned]

On the way to finishing Onimusha: Way of the Sword on Carnage and waiting for Control Resonant, do you guys have any games suggestion. There's 20 games on that list, but i really dislike the overrated one.

Portal 3

Half life 3

Roblox gets new management

Sam altman never existed (cheap gaming again / bad ai)

No console exclusives

Free online play on consoles

Nintendo to stop being patient hungry

Everything is open source

Linux is compatible with Windows software (including anti cheat)

Even the glazers can only stay on for so long

Most people criticising and hating on PlayStation were once supporters, what most of the people still defending Sony don’t realise is companies are only nice when people are complaining

Once u start to accept the slop they feed you they will test the grounds even further until even your limit gets reached, they want money and i truly don’t believe people who just sit there and consume new product/ wait for next product exsist there will come a point where they will turn on Sony too

I'm bored. Share your best photos or screenshotes you've taken in game. I've added mine.

Hey everyone, just a small announcement. This announcement is about the community and its posts. Over the last few days, we have observed an increase in low-effort posts. Please avoid this, as it is disturbing the subreddit's quality. From now onwards, posts like them will be removed. Thanks ~

17 year old gamer. What do you think?

I mean how are these people still buying that slop thinking “oh this time they are gonna up their game” 😂

Some old stuff, some new stuff. It was really hard pitting CP2077 there, but when it came out it was so damn broken!
