Whale Hammer Games is an independent game developer based in Canberra, Australia. We are working on, Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire, a turn-based tactics game for the PC, which places you in the role of Princess Tahira leading her people across a dying planet in search of a new home. We are working hard to create a game that is fun but challenging. A game that teaches you things and explores new ideas. A game that means something.
Tahira is releasing on Steam and GOG August 31st.
