Guha Bala

Guha Bala is one of the two founders of Vicarious Visions, a very popular video game developer based in Albany (New York). He founded this developer in 1994 alongside his brother Karthik (which I have in my Talkie list). Vicarious Visions released its first game "Synnergist" in 1996 and created several popular video game franchises like "Crash Bandicoot", "Skylanders" and "Tony Hawk". The developer mostly focuses on video games for handheld game consoles. It's also home to the Alchemy game engine, the animation studio "Craft Emotions" and the translation studio "Vicarious Translations". Vicarious Visions is a subsidiary of Activision since 2005 and is also known as VV, Vicarious and Blizzard Albany.
