"Orient" PC game formerly named "Age of Pehlivans" was a dream 4 years ago. Someday, two people decided to found a unique game company to collect creative energies around Iran and make fun to play, international class games based on Iranian culture and history. The vision of "Game industry in Iran has a potential like IT industry in India" empowered the small team to study and work on different aspects of game development for more than two years. Tired of giving proposals and perusing organizations for sponsorship, finally "Hi-Tech Industries Center" agreed to sponsor the game and the story of "challenging game" production began. The supportive company "Resana Afzar Sharif" signed a contract to produce first Iranian "Role Playing Game" based on Iranian great Epic "Shahnameh Ferdowsi" and time critical project started. After a while, small team rearranged to a medium one with an average full-time staff of 15 specialists and more than 20 other part time and project-based colleagues. from www.asrepahlevanan.com
