- Behind the symphony #5: Q&A The Lore of Symphonia - 31 March 2025
Musical greetings, friends and virtuosos ! In today’s making-of, we’re tackling some lore questions submitted by the community of players on our Discord server (link in the store page !). Thanks again for your submissions and let’s start ! --- Q : Can we get a short introduction to Philemon's fellow founders (i.e. their names, instruments, and relations )? A : Philemon founded the realm together with three fellow musicians, and each of them was a virtuoso, playing on a different family of instruments (Strings, Percussions, Brass, Woodwinds). Their names and other characteristics have yet to be revealed, however, we know that they were playing together as an orchestra in their native realm. They were eventually expelled and had to wander around until they founded Symphonia. Q : What's with the founder's vanishing? Did something happen to them or did they go willingly? A : As mentioned in…
- Symphonia 1.1.2 Patch Notes - 12 February 2025
Symphonia 1.1.2 Patch Notes Hello everyone! This update will be fairly short. We've mainly fixed bugs that could hinder the game experience, while waiting for a new update for minor level design balancing. Some bugs may persist, while others are still in the process of being fixed. Bugs : Fixed a bug that can briefly lock the player into its bounce on a string animation Fixed a bug that prevented the respawn sound to play in certain conditions Fixed a bug that prevented the room transitions to occur in some rooms (in Brass and Woodwinds) Added safety measures to avoid a rare bug where Philemon gets stuck in its playing the violin state Fixed a bug that allowed Philemon to go under a horizontal string with the grappling bow Fixed a bug that prevented the Kinglet to appear in the machine at the end of the Brass Palace Fixed various sound issues around concerts and post concerts Fixed mino…

- 🐍 Symphonia supports Razer's Sensa HD Haptics and Chroma peripherals! - 10 December 2024
Greetings all! During the launch of Symphonia last week, we have omitted to mention one piece of information. But perhaps you have already 'felt' it since it's a really tangible piece of information in the truest sense of the word. If you've been following Symphonia on Steam for a while (since around mid-September or earlier), you may have noticed that we announced at the time that Symphonia would be one of the first titles to support Razer's Sensa HD Haptics peripherals. You know, that gaming cushion that attaches to your chair and can literally kick your butt. And yes, we kept our word. But let's start from the beginning, with two questions: 'Why are you doing this?' and 'How should a cushion for my chair improve my gaming experience?'. Let me answer the first question first: The reason is me, Tim. Hi! Well, personally I am very open-minded about such technical gadgets. And I am convi…
- A massive "THANK YOU" from all of us behind Symphonia! ❤️ - 6 December 2024
Dear friends of Philemon, It's been almost 24 hours since we pushed our little birdie out of the nest and the response from you, the players, has been nothing short of overwhelming to this humble crew of first time game makers! Not sure exactly how to put our gratitude into words except to say a massive, heartfelt THANK YOU from everyone of us here at Sunny Peak and Headup. The absolute outpouring of love and support our game has received since release has been nothing short of remarkable. It’s also worth mentioning that we appreciate ALL the feedback that we’ve been getting, including the one pointing out areas that could do with improvement; we are really eager for that honest, constructive feedback so we can make Symphonia the best platforming experience possible! That being said, if you have played Symphonia and had fun with it, it would be insanely helpful for us if you would leave…
- 🎻 Awaken the expansive Musical Realm: Symphonia is OUT NOW! - 5 December 2024
Friends, let me tell you a (short) story. Once upon a time in 2019, in the French video game school, ISART Digital, 13 students in their last year of studies gathered together to work on a 2D platforming game. At the time, the only elements that we already knew about were that it would be a 2D platformer in which you wield a tool in order to bounce on the ground and catapult yourself along the walls. It's crazy, because after 5 years Symphonia is NOW AVAILABLE for PC, Xbox and PlayStation: It's a great, and at the same time a damn crazy feeling to release your first self-developed game to the market! It's like a dream come true for us: we started working on Symphonia as a study project and were given the opportunity to take this exact project to a full release. The road was not always easy, but we made it. We are so very proud of what we have created and hope that you will have as much…
- 🎻 Behind the Symphony #4: What awaits you in Symphonia - 2 December 2024
Hello again, dear musical friends! The release of Symphonia is just around the corner now … the 5th of December is in just a few days! We thought we would take a bit of time to put together a summary of what you can expect in this game we’ve been building for many years now. We are confident that you will enjoy your time with Philemon in this vibrant and colorful world, but we would rather avoid any confusion so you know exactly what kind of game you will get if you consider a stay in Symphonia! So, that's what awaits you with Symphonia: A single-player, mostly linear 2D precision platformer, with a tight and aerial, non-violent gameplay, where your only enemies are the obstacles blocking your path forward. Progress through a multifaceted world by bouncing around, catapulting yourself to avoid obstacles and play music to open new paths. A poetic and surprising realm where music is at th…
- 🎻 Behind the Symphony #3: Music meets Machinery in the World of Symphonia - 21 November 2024
Musical greetings, dear friends! Today’s making-of is all about the art direction of Symphonia, how the core elements of the scenery were chosen and intertwined to become one. Ready? Let’s dive in! As mentioned before in another making-of article, the first bit of the world of Symphonia that was thought of was the violinist, Philemon. Then we decided to create a whole musical world as a setting for our virtuoso’s journey. From there, we formed a link between musical elements, and machinery elements, that would be one of the founding stones of our art direction. But why is machinery important? Well, because the realm is mostly inhabited by automatons! You see, Symphonia is a vast realm where music is a source of life and prosperity for the automatons and the world itself. For this reason, the production of music has partially been automatized by the inhabitants, by mixing gigantic musica…
- 🎻 Behind the Symphony #2: The Music of Symphonia - 15 November 2024
Musical greetings, dear friends! For today’s making-of, let’s talk about the music of Symphonia, and how pivotal it came to be. As you can imagine, making a game about symphonic music opened a lot of doors creatively speaking, but it also created heavy constraints. Our first important constraint was, to be using the instruments of the symphonic orchestra throughout the OST of the game. Our composers Olivier and Alexandre opted for a style inspired by the romantic period of classical music, which was a perfect orientation to use the symphonic instruments. Together, they learnt how to compose by using those instruments, as they had no previous experience in writing classical tunes. Working on the romantic period of classical music also helped us to convey a lot of emotion and narration into our score, as it is one of the highlights of this period’s tunes (think Saint-Saens’ “Danse Macabre…
- 🎼 Get Ready to Harmonize the World of Symphonia from December 5! - 4 November 2024
Musical greetings, platformers! Not only does the Save & Sound event start today here on Steam (which we already told you about last week), we also have some other great-sounding news for you! Because after all this time of silence in the world of Symphonia, we can finally reveal the release date: Symphonia will be released cross-platform on December 5! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUNHYfrrRrI In the realm of Symphonia, music is a source of life and energy. But since the Prodigies and their orchestra vanished, the inhabitants are divided, and the world slowly falls into silence. What if there was a way to reunite the orchestra? That's the question Philemon, the mysterious musician in Symphonia, will have to answer. Your violin and bow are both your instrument and a means of transport. Catapult yourself through the world and complete levels by solving platforming challenges while re-a…
- 🎻 Behind the Symphony #1: From Student Project to Video Game - 1 November 2024
Musical greetings, dear friends! In the coming weeks we want to tell you more about Symphonia and its backgrounds, and we will do this with the making-of series “Behind the Symphony” here on Steam. And for today's first making-of, let's dive deeper in the conception of Symphonia. As you might already know, Symphonia started off as a simple student game before becoming a more ambitious project. Everything started in 2019, in the French video game school, ISART Digital … There, 13 students in their last year of studies gathered together to work on a 2D platforming game. At the time, the only elements that we already knew about Symphonia were that this would be a 2D platformer in which you wield a tool in order to bounce on the ground and catapult yourself along the walls. With a lot of brainstorming, we decided that the tool would be a violin bow, wielded by a violinist in a musical world…
