Independent solo developer Flying Robot Studios has announced The Great Indian Safari, a wildlife photography and management simulation coming to PC via Steam later this year.
Players will 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.
“India has some of the world’s most charismatic megafauna and most dedicated conservationists, yet gaming rarely shows this,” says Satyajit Chakraborty, Creative Director at Flying Robot Studios. “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,” explains Chakraborty. “When players share a rare wildlife moment, they’re really showing off months of conservation decisions.”
