January 2015

Alright, so things have been a bit hectic what with a lot of our members moving away and everything, but nonetheless, here we are with an exciting announcement: Happy Whale is back! We're going to start making some games very soon (despite the fact that we've never actually finished one) and there will be links on here to our Newgrounds page where you can play them. We'll have info posted pretty regularly, maybe weekly rather than monthly as it stands. As of right now, here's a list of all the games we hope to release soon (VERY subject to change):



-Get Off My Lawn!
Get Off My Lawn is an arcade Flash game in which you play as an old man living in a small house. The surrounding neighborhood has been sold and torn down to make way for the construction of a large mall, and your house was mistakenly marked as condemned because they assumed you're dead (you are old, after all). In order to save your house, you go up against waves of construction workers and enemies in an effort to see how long you can keep your house before the Man finally gets you.

Get Off My Lawn will feature Newgrounds Medals, a high score board, unlockable powerups and upgrades, and much more. Release is slated to be somewhere in the next few months (we're bad with deadlines, it's just easier this way).

-Cape
Cape is a pixel-art abstract game in which you play as a man wearing half of a cape that deflects all attacks from enemies. The goal of the game is to kill enemies with their own weapons without ever attacking anyone yourself. Throughout the game you discover how the cape was created and what happened to the other half.

Cape will be released on Newgrounds as well, and will have a custom level editor in which users can create their own levels for distribution among their friends and others. We have no official release date, basically whenever we finish Get Off My Lawn.

-Coffee Run!
Coffee Run is a 2D endless runner in which you play as an office worker running endlessly towards the coffee machine at the end of the hall. You dodge office supplies and use powerups and eventually fight the final boss to reach the coveted coffee at the end.

Coffee Run will be released on Newgrounds with Medals and High scores. Release will be somewhere in 2015 (That ought to give us enough time)

-Keeper of the Chromolith
Keeper of the Chromolith is a 2D RPG Puzzle Platformer in which you play as the apprentice to an inventor in a medieval town at the base of a mountain. He sends you up the mountain using a system of gravitational manipulation he devised himself and asks you to refill the fuel of the Chromolith, a strange, glowing rock atop the mountain, and while you are there it is stolen. All color and life is then lost from the scene and you embark on a quest to regain the color in your town, all the while discovering the mysterious and suspicious past of the inventor you work for.

Keeper of the Chromolith will hopefully be released on Steam sometime in late 2016, and will be a full scale indie game with hours of exciting gameplay. Through the Steam Community there will be achievements and a level editor where you can create your own gravity-defying levels.
