Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire is a tactical role-playing video game developed by Australian indie game developer Whale Hammer Games. First announced as a Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux title in November 2014, the game has been in development since mid-2013 by a team of three developers. Between February and March 2015, a successful Kickstarter campaign was created to help fund development. The game was also chosen to receive additional support from the government funding agency Screen ACT.
