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.
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.
