Hello and welcome everyone!
The weekly Raji news blast is back, and this week we are continuing with our theme of Blocktober, and (maybe more exciting for our community) we are also introducing the Raji team dogs!
Blocktober Continues
In our last news blast, we introduced Blocktober to you, telling you what it was, and why we're taking part as well. If you haven't read the post yet, we do recommend that you check it out first.
So for this news blast, we have two Blocktober videos to share with you.
Bloctober - Wall Run
The first looks at the before and after of the first Wall Run that Raji is forced to perform.
Blocktober - Combat
The second video looks at combat. Notice how in the blocking phase, we had already planned for the tutorial by making notes on the ground itself.
Also, some of the block encounters were found to be a bit too hard (like fighting three Gadasura demons) so we toned it down a little bit to two.
Raji Team Dogs
Meet the Raji team dogs! These dogs are one of the main reasons why we've managed to maintain our sanity while developing Raji: An Ancient Epic!
All of them were taken in from the streets and are now vital members of the team!
From the mouth of the Raji team, the dogs in the photo are:
Killer is in the mix three times... cheeky chappy.
From top left, we have Benji, little Patch, Killer,
Left middle row, Hailey [the Alpha], Zia [Killers sister] and Peter,
Bottom left, Killer, Killer again and then we finish with Nimi.
We're missing Mr G. Goldie. Each one has their own story, Nimi was only meant to stay with us until her leg healed - she was hit by a car, we'll spare you the details. Once she was fit and well, it was I who said, I can't let her go, Normally it's Shru.
Shru organized a Rabies vaccination drive a while ago in the local area with a couple of dog groups where they would go out and vaccinate as many of the dogs over a weekend. Before releasing they'll be rewarded with nice reflective collars and a few treats.
Work In Progress
We're ending this week's post by taking a look at a WIP video, taken from an upcoming level that we are working on for the game.
The peaceful scene is quite different from the regular war-torn scenery that we've shared from Raj: An Ancient Epic so far.
We hope that you've enjoyed this news blast and we'll be back next week with more awesome videos and photos from the world of the Raji developers!
