Made-in-India shooter FAU-G: Domination crossed over one million pre-registrations on the Google Play Store for Android in about three weeks.
This makes it the fastest game to hit the one million milestone for Nazara Publishing. Pre-registrations for the game went live from September 5 with a gameplay trailer and the FAU-G: Domination World Premiere event featuring nCore Group and Dot9 Games mentor Akshay Kumar.
Nazara Publishing, India’s first turnkey publishing platform, has undertaken a marketing campaign to raise awareness among Indian gamers to pre-register for FAU-G: Domination. These include partnering with some of India’s top content creators and influencers as well as offering generous pre-registration bonuses.
“Hitting this milestone so quickly is a powerful testament to the growing demand for high-quality, made-in-India content,” said Vishal Gondal, co-founder of nCore Games.
“Indian gamers are a discerning audience, and their overwhelming support shows that they’re hungry for experiences that reflect their culture and identity. This early validation reinforces our belief that India is not just a consumer of global gaming content, but a creator of world-class games that resonate both at home and internationally.”
“While the Dot9 Games team is working tirelessly to make FAU-G: Domination the best it can be, a million pre-registrations is just the incentive we need to make it even better,” said Deepak Ail, co-founder and CEO of Dot9 Games, FAU-G: Domination’s developer. “The game is at the stage where we’re fine-tuning and deciding what features players need at launch — with some playtests before that.”
Under the mentorship of Akshay Kumar, nCore is dedicating the game to Bharat Ke Veer. The Bharat Ke Veer Trust gives homage and support to India’s armed forces. To support the families of India’s armed forces martyrs, Nazara donated Rs 25,00,000 to Bharat Ke Veer and FAU-G: Domination will also feature specific cosmetic items such as badges, of which 100% of the proceeds will go towards Bharat Ke Veer.
FAU-G: Domination also had its second playtest last week. This had players accessing the latest build of the game and playing with fellow community members. Player feedback has played a pivotal role in shaping FAU-G: Domination, ensuring that the game evolves in response to the community’s input.
During these multiple playtests, players had the opportunity to experience the game early and provide detailed feedback on everything from gameplay mechanics to design elements. Their insights have been instrumental in refining key aspects of the game, from improving weapon balance to enhancing map layouts and user interface.
By listening closely to players, the development team has made significant improvements and adjustments to deliver a more immersive and engaging experience.
