Important


As we mentioned here, we encountered some issues with the subtitles for the various Indian regional languages. As such, the subtitles had to be removed for the launch day. However, we are working to fix the problems and will add them to the game in a (near) future patch.

Small delay to regional Indian subtitles

Hello there everyone,

Tomorrow is the big day, Raji: An Ancient Epic Enhanced Edition will launch at 10 pm IST and we hope that you're all as excited as we are.

Unfortunately, there is one peice of news that we need to share with you, and that is that the six announced regional Indian subtitles will not be in the Enhanced Edition on launch day.

The quick reason - we recently encountered some issues with how the game's engine displays the characters of the regional languages.

The more detailed reason (this comes to us from the development team) the game uses Unicode blocks to display characters from the regional languages.

  • Bengali (for Bangla and Assamese)
  • Kannada (for Kannada)
  • Telugu (for Telugu)
  • Tamil (for Tamil)
  • Devanagari (for Hindi and Marathi)

Within most Indian languages, there are certain symbols called diacritics (or Matras) which when attached to a letter, change the way that letter is supposed to be drawn. Put simply, it changes or adds to the shape of that letter.

Unfortunately, quite recently (so very late into development) we learned that except for the Devanagari Unicode block, these diacritics are not being drawn correctly, hence the bug.

The good news is that we have identified the problem within the engine's source code, and are working towards a solution.

We know that this will come as a disappointment to many of you, but we hope that you can understand the situation. That said after the team's hard work in the last few days, we are optimistic that the subtitle patch can be put together relatively quickly.

Enhanced Edition news

⚡️ To our dearest Raji fans,

It’s been a long time since we provided an update on the Enhanced Edition. Before we go on, know that we truly appreciate your support and hope you are all safe and well during these unprecedented times.

Earlier this year we started work in earnest on the EE, and have since made solid progress on many fronts. Despite that, we’re sorry to inform you that the update is going to be delayed. What you may not know is that some of the members contracted covid at different times during development. Those affected were Avi [co-founder & game designer], Paras [Lead Coder], Jalay [tech/artist], as were some family members. You’ll be happy to know that everyone has made a full recovery. Needless to say, this impacted our timelines. We came to a conscious decision to avoid unnecessary crunch and not rush the content for the Enhanced Edition. As many of you will know, we worked our collective socks off so that Raji’s initial launch last year could remain unaffected. However, with some members of the team still battling post-illness fatigue we must inform you all that we’ll be pushing the release of the Enhanced Edition to the Q1 2022 release window.

We know many were looking forward to the release, but rest assured that we intend to deliver on our promises. We have you, the Raji community, in mind whilst we’re developing the game-changing update. And so, from all the entire dev team, we can not thank you enough for your continued support.
