Flying Robot Studios brings authentic Indian wildlife preservation to PC in deep management simulation
Independent solo developer Flying Robot Studios has announced The Great Indian Safari, a wildlife photography management simulation coming to PC via Steam later this year.
Players design rewilded habitats for free-roaming Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, leopards, and one-horned rhinos while engineering safari routes that serve very different visitor types—from thrill-seeking photographers to serious conservationists. A healthy ecosystem doesn’t just look good; it creates rare wildlife moments worth capturing.
“India has some of the world’s most charismatic megafauna and most dedicated conservationists—yet gaming rarely shows this,” says Satyajit Chakraborty, Creative Director. “We’re bringing players into a world they’ve never seen in games before.”
Unlike traditional zoo or park builders, The Great Indian Safari places wildlife photography at the center of progression. Photos are scored on species rarity, animal behavior, lighting, composition, and risk. Exceptional shots go viral in-game, triggering 72-hour visitor surges, reputation spikes, and new management challenges.
Capturing a perfect golden-hour tiger hunt isn’t luck—it’s the result of long-term ecosystem planning.
“A great photo in this game isn’t just a screenshot—it’s proof that your ecosystem is functioning,” says Satyajit Chakraborty, Creative Director. “When players share a rare wildlife moment, they’re really showing off months of conservation decisions.”
The Great Indian Safari Gameplay Features
- Dual Reputation System — Conservation and tourism must grow together. Neglect either, and the park stalls.
- Photography-Driven Progression — Score wildlife photos on species, action, lighting, composition, and danger. Viral moments create systemic consequences across your park.
- Living Ecosystem Simulation — Wildlife behavior emerges from habitat health, food chains, and human pressure, creating unscripted photographic opportunities.
- Legendary Named Animals — Follow recurring stories: Scar, a one-eyed leopard; Matriarch, the elder elephant leader; Ghost, a white tiger that appears only under specific conditions.
- Authentic Indian Landscapes — Mangroves, sal forests, and Terai grasslands, developed in India with cultural and ecological authenticity.
- Respects Your Time — Smart automation and pool-based staffing reduce micromanagement, letting you focus on strategy and photography.
Developed in Unity, The Great Indian Safari would be accessible on a wide range of PCs thanks to relatively low system requirements.
