The team wants to tell a story which is set in India, that has never been seen before in the gaming industry. We visited Rajasthan, India and Bali, Indonesia where we grasped the inspiration for the game’s universe.
- Handpainted Artstyle– Each and every corner of Raji: An Ancient Epic is hand painted, this utilizes the use several pieces of software, dedication and countless hours. The environment is inspired by the medieval architecture of Rajasthan, which was the pinnacle of architectural achievement during the medieval era of India.
