About Tentworks Interactive
Tentworks Interactive is an independent game development and publishing studio founded in Bengaluru, India, in 2018 by Jayaditt Basani. It develops original PC and console games with an emphasis on narrative-driven tycoon, empire-building, grand strategy, and management simulations. Its work combines business and resource management with historical settings, architectural customization, and strategic decision-making.
The studio operates internationally, with development centered in India and a San Francisco branch supporting publishing, marketing, and international partnerships. Its distribution focus includes North America, Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and India. Alongside its original intellectual property, Tentworks offers work-for-hire development, co-development, concept art, and game asset production.
Games and creative focus
Its debut project, City Block Builder, is a management and urban empire simulation set in 1950s Los Angeles. Players develop businesses and shape their surroundings through architectural customization and sandbox gameplay. The game was showcased at Gamescom and PAX West in 2021 before entering Steam Early Access.
Becoming Pablo brings together roguelike grand strategy, tower defense, and cartel management in a setting spanning the international drug trade of the 1970s through the 1990s. Its systems include base defense, turn-based territorial warfare, supply chain management, and cartel logistics. The project appeared at the Insider Gaming Showcase in May 2026, followed by a public Steam demo, and remained in development as of November 2026.
Development capabilities
Tentworks’ production capabilities span engine programming, narrative writing, level design, 2D and 3D art, and character modeling. Its technical work uses Unity 3D and modern rendering techniques to support its simulation and strategy projects. The studio combines these disciplines within a development and publishing operation focused on bringing its games to international audiences.
