Hello again Kickstarter backers!

Just a reminder that this Thursday, January 12th at 8pm, we'll be having our White Whale Retro Fantasy Dance Party and Gaming Celebration! Come join us for drinking, dancing, gaming, and hang out times with cool folks! We'll have a playable build of the game available, and our composer, Justin Kovar, will be spinning his music as well as his influences. http://www.facebook.com/events/101934753260929/

Also, White Whale is still hard at work on God of Blades, but for 72 hours last week we worked on Psychic Frog, a Flash game built in the Unity 3.5 Beta engine. Psychic Frog was built under the experimental division of White Whale, O.R.C.A. Psychic Frog is about a frog (with psychic abilities, of course) escaping from a top secret facility. It's free and available now at http://whitewhalegames.com/psychicfrog/psychicfrog.html. Give it a whirl!

Thanks all, hope to see some of you on Thursday!

White Whale friends,

We did it! After 35 days, we raised $4,851 on Kickstarter for God of Blades! We're stunned and humbled over all the support and attention we received over this past month, and the White Whale team would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has supported us in any way. Whether you donated to the Kickstarter, shared the link, or even just mentioned God of Blades and White Whale to someone, know that you have been a tremendous help to our production. Y'all are all a part of the production of God of Blades now, and an important part of White Whale. 

For those in Austin, as a token of our thanks, we'd like to invite you to a preview party for God of Blades at Dive Bar (1703 Guadalupe Street) on January 12th at 8pm. More details will be unveiled in the coming week, but get ready for a shindig full of fun music, good drinks, and some White Whale swag. A very big thanks to Dive Bar for offering their bar to us for the evening!

Our Kickstarter was a tremendous success. Money aside, Kickstarter served as a fantastic way to show off our project to new audiences. During our Kickstarter, God of Blades was featured in a number of articles, and we received emails and tweets of support from all over the world! Kickstarter is not only a great way to raise money for a creative project, it's an amazing way to promote your project internationally. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our Kickstarter. Get ready to see some amazing God of Blades new and previews in the coming months (if you haven't already, consider following us on Twitter, or like us on Facebook.).

Thank you all! Have a wonderful holiday season, from the White Whale team. 

And now, a video update showcasing some of what we've been working on over the past couple weeks! Here is a demo of our dynamic physics based combat in motion and an early build of our survival stage. All the amazing work you see here is in major part thanks to our programmer Adrian Lopez-Mobilia and our animator Jesse Slate. The music featured in the video is from our God of Blades composer, Justin Kovar. 

We're overwhelmed by the support we have received over the past couple weeks. The more money we raise, the more stages we can develop. To everyone who has contributed or spread the word, thank you for your generosity and support!

We're now guaranteed Kickstarter funding! Thank you SO much to all who have contributed. We're in absolute awe over the support we've received over the past couple weeks, and we're so grateful for your contributions.

There are still 21 days remaining in our Kickstarter, so it's definitely not too late to support God of Blades! All pledges will still be going towards the production of God of Blades. With your help, we will release a breathtaking and unforgettable iOS experience! 

Since we launched our Kickstarter we have received attention from Indie Game Mag, GameZebo, and the White Whale team was featured in CultureMap Austin! Let's keep spreading the word! We'll have another update this week showcasing what we've been working on since our Kickstarter launched.

Again, thanks SO much for all the support so far. For any questions or comments, email us at info@whitewhalegames.com, or tweet at us @whitewhalegames!
