Frogsong

1.2.8 Update - This should actually fix things

This is ideally going to be the last bug fix patch for Frogsong!
More issues kept popping up thanks to the Unity update, so I created a branch of the 1.2.2 build and reimplimented the bug fixes and optimizations I had done for the 1.2.3 update, without changing the Unity version. This seems to have finally fixed everything!
Thank you all so much for your patience.

1.2.7 Update Patch Notes

Hey everyone!

Weird update today. Turns out after the Nintendo Switch port was finished and exported, Unity suddenly broke a lot of things and swapped stuff around on it's own. It took me a while to realize any of these issues even existed, because they're problems in things I haven't touched in over a year, and none of them existed 3 months ago. If you use the 1.2.2 beta branch, you can see this for yourself! None of these issues exist on the Switch port (thank god, I wouldn't have time to fix them all before launch).

Here's what broke and has since been fixed:

  • Fixed the "item collect" icon not displaying properly
  • Fixed the control prompt not displaying the correct icon
  • Fixed the monster book only displaying Skitterbud information
  • Fixed an issue where hovering over the resolution options would display the wrong markers
  • Fixed the "Done" button on the control mapping screen saying "Reset to defaults" for some reason


If you notice any bugs or anything weird in any of the menus, please let me know! I tried to do pretty thorough testing, but there's a chance I missed something.

1.2.5

Fixed a Steam achievement issue

1.2.4 - Minor Update

Hey everyone! This update simply fixes an issue with achievements that was in v1.2.3. Super small update!

Nominate Frogsong for the Steam Awards!

Hey everyone!

It's Steam Awards season, and we'd like to humbly ask Frogsong fans to consider nominating Frogsong for the Steam Awards! A lot of amazing games have come out this year, so there's some pretty heavy competition, but if you enjoyed Frogsong it would mean a lot if you considered nominating it! You can choose any category, but we're recommending Outstanding Story-Rich Game.

Back to 1.2.2 for the moment

There's been a couple reports of very serious performance issues caused by the update. With an upcoming influx of players from Steam Autumn Sale today, I didn't want them to start with a potentially buggy, slow version of the game. I'll be investigating these performance issues in the meantime... what kind of game runs worse on PC than it does on Switch???

1.2.3 Update Patch Notes

Hey everyone! Just some bug fixes and optimizations here today.

  • Fixed a bug where the game would lock if you saved and quit while close to an NPC
  • Fixed a typo in a shop description
  • Fixed BeetleBud pathfinding in a certain location
  • Prevented the player from being able to unassign all control mappings for actions, locking the game
  • Slightly changed how rain is rendered to be more performant
  • Removed honeycomb collision to prevent the player from being able to get stuck in it
  • Slightly optimized all enemies
  • Changed how save files are deleted to prevent frame drops when deleting a file
  • Various minor and major optimizations that likely won’t be noticeable on PC but were important for getting the game to run smoothly for the upcoming Nintendo Switch port
  • Fixed a bug where Rana could send the player back in time
  • Made level transitions smoother
  • Made some sound effects of final boss attack slightly quieter

1.2.1 Update Patch Notes


  • Fixed an issue where Espo's chapter 5 dialogue was in the wrong order
  • Minor tweaks in Rimbal dialogue

1.2.0 Update - Herb Hole and More Dialogue!

Hello everyone! I've just released what is probably the largest update Frogsong has received. It features a lot of new dialogue and character interactions. I'd like to be clear that updates like this will not be common - in fact, this will probably be the only of its kind. These are things that I think add to the experience of the game, and there likely won't be any more major updates in the future.

This update also includes a ton of bugfixes and tweaks that will make the game smoother.

Let's get to the patch notes:

Game Updates:

  • If you’ve given a worm to the frog in the hole, you can now go in and visit him!
  • Added Rimbal dialogue if you’ve spoken to Grubby about him.
  • Added additional epilogue dialogue to several NPCs.


Tweaks and Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where the control mapper did not work on the title screen.
  • Fixed an issue that would occur if players used the forest shortcut, skipping some Rana dialogue. If the player went back to these spots without Rana, the dialogue would still trigger.
  • Fixed an issue where talking to Espo again in Chapter 5 would result in the player getting another Sunblade.
  • Fixed an issue where the epilogue dialogue in the Lost Moth Tavern would softlock the game.
  • Adjusted environment art near the forest shortcut.
  • Fixed an issue where the BeetleBud being out would make the bridge in the tutorial area completely unable to be lowered or raised.
  • Further adjusted the area around a coin pot in the Swamp of Glune
  • Minor dialogue tweaks.
  • Prevented the player from being able to escape their worm-burden.

1.1.3 Update Patch Notes


  • Made it so that the BeetleBud will no longer attack Humming Devils that have not been angered.
  • Changed a dialogue trigger in the Swamp of Glune to make it easier to explore a certain location.
  • Fixed BeetleBud collision issues.
  • Adjusted Elder Bufo’s position at the start of Chapter 3 to make it easier to see him.
  • Fixed broken pathfinding in a secret shortcut in the Gloaming Grove.
  • Changed the wording of a line of dialogue in Chapter 2 to make some directions more clear.
  • Reworded the “Get Steel” goal description to make it more clear that the first upgrade doesn’t require Salamander Steel.
  • Reworded Barlow’s dialogue to remind the player that they can only visit him at night.
  • Fixed a minor dialogue typo.
