Nothing wrong with pushing the date back. New updates look great and it sounds like you guys are really hitting stride. Looking forward to snagging a copy in June. Will you be doing any open testing leading up to EA?
Thanks, Jon. We will only be doing closed testing, but you are welcome to participate.  Best. Joachim |

I have no idea how I missed The Great Whale Road on here! I was a Kickstarter backer and still love(!) the concept -- more historical fiction please! The art you've shown thus far looks phenomenal, which is hopefully a good sign for the quality in general. Fantastic work, I look forward to playing this! Adding this comment so I don't miss future updates  |

Hi All! We have been busy and I have to admit I am losing track of all the pages which I am supposed to keep up to date. Apologies! The Great Whale Road is coming to Steam Early Access at the end of the month, and I am happy to present our announcement trailer.
Best.

Ah, I was literally on the purchase page when I saw The Great Whale Road only supports PC. I'm out in Asia for at least the next three months with only my Macbook. Am I doomed to glare with envy at the rest of the Early Access community? I've actually never purchased an Early Access game, but was thrilled by this premise and your gameplay videos. Let me know if a Mac version is in the works, please!

Sorry about that! We haven't been able to buy a Mac for the studio yet, salaries first and stuff. Then we need to do some testing, but in general the game should work once we do a Mac build (Unity). Just make sure your friends with PCs buy it, increases our Mac kitty. |

Well, if you'd like a guinea pig, I can offer to test on my two year old Macbook Pro. Just send a test build over. Yes, I'll still buy the alpha anyway Thanks for the quick response. Continued luck guys! |

 Update v0.2.0 is here! No rest for the wicked - OK, a few team members are on holiday for the first time this year now - but I am just pushing through 2016 it seems. After we released update 0.2.0 on Friday, I have been preparing for Global Top Round (an accelerator conference) and Gamescom (Wednesday-Friday in the business area) next week. You can find all the details about the update here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/464830/announcements/detail/610621963814720112So far Steam has been good to us, the lion's share of people who play the game have a smooth experience. We have two support cases open which relate to crashes, and someone at the studio will have fun analysing crash dump files next week. We have been testing the game on 12 different PCs from 32-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 10, but you can't test every existing combination of hardware and software out there. But apart from that there are only a few other special cases like a Razer mouse not working in combat - maybe Unity or frequency related. We are investigating ... while continuing to add functionality and content. Best. Joachim @ Sunburned Games |

Hi Jon! First day back at the studio after Gamescom (I even have some pictures). The launch went quite smoothly and the Steam reviews are positive - what more can we ask for?   We still have a lot of work ahead of us. I don't think I have published the road-map here before: http://www.the-great-whale-road.com/blog/2016/8/5/development-blog-0508-roadmapIf you have any feedback for us, fire away please! Best.

Hi Everyone!We have had a busy month - our fourth major update went into early access, were one of the showcase games at Unite '16 in LA, and we are working on a redesign of our combat system. The main highlight of v0.4.0 is the new UI, the second chapter of the Danish main storyline, as well as a range of enhancements and additional content.    We wrote more than 10,000 words worth of stories and quests, thanks to having a second writer on board. Mary, who is based in NYC, also represented us at the Made with Unity conference in LA. We also got the game ready to run on Linux/SteamOS, which just required a refactor of any functions using floats to make sure we support the full stop and comma depending on locale. So we will enable the package on the Steam store page in the new few days. And Mac will follow shortly, too. Best, Joachim @ Sunburned Games

That UI update is amazing! I can read so much more on my tiny screen! Only about an hour in, but I'm having a great time role-playing. Incredible work! Continued luck  |
