Hi everyone,

We just wanted to do a quick post about the Steam Next Fest! We just updated Swan Song with a new demo which fixes a lot of bugs, includes changes to the levels & updates some of the story & environment elements.

But before we get further into these changes & new screenshots, we wanted to ask everyone if you have played the demo previously to please leave a review on our demo page. Support like that will help us greatly during the Steam Next Fest, thank you!! 🥰🥰

Here is a quick list of most of these changes & fixes. We also address the question about saving some people talked about. 🦢🎶

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused notes to trigger twice when the music box was playing right at the end of one of the soundtracks.

  • Fixed an issue with the music box staying shut when the swan failed a level.

Updates

  • Made changes to levels in chapter 2 & 3.

  • Added updated environments for chapter 0 - 3.

  • Updated some of the story elements with Voice acting, and removed/changed the position of others.

  • The Swan Song demo can now be played on MacOS!

Saving

We know there still isn't any saving. This feature will be in the final game though, so don't worry! You won't have to start over each time you launch the game, but you will be able to choose which level in what chapter you want to play (if you have previously played them) & will be able to continue your progress from a previous play session! 😁 Saving wasn't a big priority right now for us, since the demo is only 20 - 30min long right now and can be played in one short play session.

Some new screenshots from the full game

We also wanted to share some new screenshots with you from the full version of Swan Song, but didn't want to spoil too much! So here is one of the new environments you will get in one of the new chapters. As well as a new story object! Can anyone here guess which bands these logo's refer to? 👀
