Swan Song (Demo) - 0.0.14 & Gamescom

7 月 2 日

Hi everyone,

We have been hard at work to get the vertical slice/new demo of Swan Song ready. Here are a couple things that we have done and are planned for this year.

New Demo

We have been hard at work to rebuild the whole game to make it more stable compared to the Gamejam demo version. The new demo that has been uploaded to steam now has the following features:

New "shorter" tutorial.
New levels & pacing in chapter 1.
new levels & pacing in chapter 2.
Environments change depending on what chapter you're playing.
Added a lot of SFX & VFX.
Added more player feedback.
Updated a lot of models & textures.
Lots of bug fixes (but do report any you find).

Work on the vertical slice continues

Like we said in the previous part, we have been hard at work to get the vertical slice of the game ready! This means the whole back end, internal level editor,... should be finished so we can start adding more levels & more story objects for the final version more easily. Here are some examples of story objects, new environments & the internal level editor. Some of these objects will be present in the final demo that will release during Gamescom 2025.

The environment will also change depending on what chapter you are playing. It serves the purpose to give the look of the game a bit more variety, but also to set the mood for the part of the story you are currently experiencing!

Gamescom 2025

And then, some big news! We will be attending Gamescom 2025 at the Indie Arena Booth. We will be presenting the full vertical slice of Swan Song there, so this means:

Chapters 1 - 3 will be playable.
The first part of the story will be present and playable.
We will be doing some giveaways to win a copy of Sizeable OR a copy of Swan Song for the future!
Some merch will also be given away when you drop by and have a chat with us, play the game and wishlist! :D

That's it for now! We hope you are as excited about Swan Song as we are, and that the new demo gives you a better look at how the game will feel in the final version/demo (tho the pacing and difficulty still needs some work). Make sure to join our discord if you would like to participate in the playtests we are currently hosting!

Cheers,

Sander Ambroos & the Business Goose Team

The demo seems to have been available since December 18 but I don't see the button to download it on the main page. Is it available to download? The game seems great !

Swan Song - Vertical Slice Progress!

5 月 8 日

Hey everyone,

We wanted to start posting here more often to keep everyone up-to-date about the process of the game. Making this vertical slice has been a pretty big undertaking, since a lot of the game has been build from the ground up. The reason for this was mainly the addition of the level editor (for in house use and later on for the players when the game releases).

Story

The story of the initial demo was something we threw together very quickly for the Gamejam back in 2024. The actual story that will be present in the vertical slice and the final release is already taking shape! The story and game will take place in 3 main acts, which each in turn will have 3 chapters. The first 2 chapters of act 1 will be present in the vertical slice and thus be playable at Gamescom (and afterwards on steam).

Puzzle mechanics

We are also adding in new platforms, obstacles, and changing the look of others! Here is a short look at some new rotating clock obstacles. The way platform icons are displayed has also changed because of the addition of these obstacles. In the next part of this update you will find a better comparison between the old and new UI.

New models & shader

We have also been updating the shader and models for Swan Song. Below you'll see a comparison between the old look and the new look. The new look is a lot more polished, and the goose pawn is now actually a swan! Note that not all elements have been added back in yet, like the gears for example. These detail parts are still being worked on.

We hope you enjoyed this small update. If you want more regular updates and talk to us directly, make sure to join our community discord!

Thanks and cheers,
