AnkA Interactive

AnkA Interactive was founded on early 2023 by Caner 'Trooper' Kurt in Ankara, Türkiye with an aim on creating story-rich, unique and adventurous video games for the purpose of taking their culture into a more important, esteemed and adored position in the entertainment world. Name of the company comes from the well known mythological bird Phoenix which is also an important figure in The Turkish Mythology. We picked this name to represent the revolutionary birth of the things that are good and epic that we are expecting to come.

On 2024 we released our debut video game Shahmaran that we developed and published for Windows and Nintendo platforms.

Same year we also released our 3D Graphics Viewer Ayzıt for Windows.

Please stay tuned and feel free to reach us.

Shahmaran

A Mythological Thrilling Action!

Shahmaran (the name comes from a half-woman half-serpent mythological creature) is a hyper-casual action title based on the classic snake game with additional fantastic action elements.

Kingdom's ruler falls gravely ill and for the cure the Vizier revealing his true side as the evil sorcerer conjures a spell to summon vile creatures to assail Shahmaran for obtaining her flesh. Shahmaran and her helper friend Jamsab must defeat the evil sorcerer. With the help of her trusty companion Jamsab, armed with spells and weapons, Shahmaran battles against the evil Vizier's summoned creatures. Saving Shahmaran from the evil Vizier is in your hands.

Key Features:

Classical Snake-Based Game Mechanics: Snake is one of the very best games of all time. It's surely addictive. Shahmaran brings the unique myth of the Shahmaran legend while keeping the original classic's epic gameplay untouched. Shahmaran moves around the map with original snake movement mechanics, picks up food to grow in size, and avoids colliding with her body parts and map edges.

Fantastic Action Elements: Shahmaran has unique spells to overcome her enemies that spawn on the map. The Wail of Shahmaran is a devastating elemental scream that deals damage to enemies in the area where it was cast. Tornado of Souls is a mighty twister that traps enemies inside it upon collision. Demon Spirit is a powerful helper ally that fights enemies during its existence. Shahmaran's draconic tail attacks enemies in range with a powerful spit.

Formidable Enemies: While Shahmaran picks up food to grow to her full size, scary enemies such as Worms, Spiders, and Mosquitoes constantly spawn on the map. They try to touch Shahmaran and attack her body parts to shrink her.

Helpful Allies: While Shahmaran's head and tail deal damage to enemies with spells and weapons, she gains action points and can call Jamsab for help using these points. Jamsab flies to a designated location and drops a barrel filled with tar to slow down the enemies.

Powered by Unreal Engine: Shahmaran was developed with Unreal Engine and supports all advanced graphical features such as hardware ray tracing, deferred shading, progressive LOD, etc.
