Thank you! Will for sure!
Cheers, Tommy
graphically it is beautiful
Hopefully we will have the same impression tech wise. :) Thank you!
So looking forward to this! good luck on the project!
Thank you!!
have you ever thought of adding rare albino whales like say a white sperm whale (does that sound familiar?) it would be epic (and horrifying) to see moby **** himself (atleast a close representation of it) jumping out of the water.
if you have then discard this comment but if you haven't then your welcome.
Trust me when I say we have some plans for this! ;)
Sometime after release, you will have a pleasant surprise regarding that specific story! It would be almost natural to have it, wouldn't it? :D
Amazing looking game, if it pans out I will definitely pick it up. The concept is ridiculously unique!
ACBF did this aswell actually but it was more of a side quest.
as compared to this game its just all of it.
Indeed they did. Only difference was that Moby **** in general has a story to tell, obviously they couldn't include that in ACBF but someone else can tell that story somewhere down the line *coughs* DLC *coughs*
Thank you so much! That means alot, hopefully we will meet you expectations on it Tumult7, personally I will work hard for that! :D If you want, you can sign up for the newsletter, closed beta and giveaways at www.thewhalergame.com soon, you can join the forums there as well! :)
Thanks again, and have a great weekend!
