Hi everyone!
It's been quite a while, hasn't it? Now that we've announced our next game, I wanted to touch up Frogsong a tiny bit before fully switching gears to the future. There's been some minor fixes and improvements I've been meaning to get to for a bit, so it's nice to finally cross this off my list before going full steam ahead on the next game!
So, what's new?
Steam Trading Cards
The game now has Steam trading cards, emotes, and profile backgrounds! This is something I've wanted to do for quite a while, and they were a lot of fun to make.
Here's a couple of the backgrounds you can unlock:
As always, trading cards will retroactively be sent out to those who have already played the game.
Support for mouse input
Frogsong finally has support for mouse input! This is something I've been meaning to add for a long time, and revisiting the game meant I had no reason not to. By default menus support mouse controls, and you can bind controls to your mouse buttons. Many people have asked for this, so hopefully this should make the game more comfortable for some people using mouse and keyboard!
Little announcement on the title screen for our next game
Look, we're a small team and getting people to know you're making a new game as an indie dev is hard, okay? We're working on a new game called Stomp and the Sword of Miracles, a metroidvania in a world where not everything wants to kill you! I'm very excited about it and wanted to make sure people know about it, so I included a little link in the corner of Frogsong's title screen. Don't worry, you can get rid of it if you want!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2837590/Stomp_and_the_Sword_of_Miracles/
Stomp and the Sword of Miracles is a 2D exploration platformer with a strong focus on story and characters where you embark on a mission to save the world from the god of chaos. It's a pretty different game from Frogsong, but I think it had a similar heart and soul, with a similar focus on characters and story. If you enjoyed Frogsong... I think you're gonna love Stomp and the Sword of Miracles!
Other fixes

Fixed some credits names
Made a change to video cutscenes that should make them more likely to render properly on Steam Deck and Linux
Thanks for reading, and thank you all for the love you've shown Frogsong since launch! Hope 2025 treats you well.
Happy Holidays,
Bee

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.

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.

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 i

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.

Hi everyone!
We just put out an update with some nice quality of life updates. You can now open your map from outside of the pause menu, as well as slow down the house decoration cursor for more precise decorating!
Here's the full list of changes below:
Game Updates:

Added a map you can access from outside of the pause menu. A control prompt will show in the tutorial area, but if you’ve already passed it, the default input is M on the keyboard or Left Trigger on gamepad
Added control markers to the pause menu map
Added the ability to slow down the cursor while decorating by holding the attack button to allow for more precision
Added control markers to house decorating
Adjusted the default speed of the house decoration cursor
Adjusted some environmental art around a puzzle in Westshore to try and make the solution more clear
Fixes:

Fixed an issue where house decorations would appear to shift positions after leaving your house (In reality they weren’t shifting positions but in fact getting smaller. Game development is fun!)
Fixed the phrasing of one content warning summary
Fixed an animation issue with Lord Lithos during a content warning skip

1.0.3 Live on Windows (Patch Notes)
Hi! Short but important update today. It's live on Windows and will hopefully be live on Mac soon. This update simply fixes a problem where players would miss the second phase of the final boss. That's a pretty big issue if you ask me! More bug fixes will be coming soon!
