Raji in the Newspaper
The Times of India, one of the biggest newspapers in India, recently wrote an article about Indian game developers and how they have begun to grab the attention of people from around the world.
Whatsmore, in the article, we were honored to be recognized as being instrumental in helping the Indian Gaming industry receive global attention!
Check out what they had to say about us and the ever-growing Indian game developer scene!
Steam Demo
As you may know, for a while we have had a playable demo of our game on Steam.
However, this demo was created for our Kickstarter campaign making it over two years old and in that time we have pretty much re-worked the entire game making the demo extremely outdated.
Whatsmore, we have noticed that this has caused some confusion in our community as players have been judging the game based on this outdated demo - something that we really do not want to happen.
So to prevent our new community members from getting confused, we have decided to remove our steam demo. If you already have the demo, nothing will happen (you can manually delete it if you want), however, new members of the community will not be able to download the old demo.
If you are interested in seeing just how different the game is, check out this video that compares the scene where Raji receives her first weapon, the Trishul.

Game Development - Movement Leads to Combat
Shortly after releasing our Kickstarter demo (two years ago) we received a lot of feedback from players who commented that Raji’s movement felt clunky and repetitive.
After studying what the players wrote, we agreed with the conclusion and set to work on improving this. We did this by taking up a new mindset that we called ‘Movement leads to combat’.
One of the first things that we implemented after adopting this mindset was the triple dodge mechanic that you can see in this video.
Notice how Raji has three different moves and each one flows seamlessly from one to the next.
