Raji’s Kickstarter campaign
In late 2017, we got our first information about Raji: An Ancient Epic at Nasscom Game Developer Conference. Also at that time, the developer of the game had started a Kickstarter campaign. They were hoping to raise a fund of £120,000 to support the game but it didn’t go too well. Despite that, the developer still continued to work on the game. Recently, they have dropped a trailer for it in GDC 2019, take a look:
