- iPhone + iPad Release - 25 September 2020
Your old pal Songbringer is now available on the App Store. One might exclaim: "How super duper!" So give it a download. It's free to start. Gamepads are supported and it includes the Trial of Ren DLC. Ratings are much appreciated. Will there be an Android version?

- PDF Map of World WIZARD - 5 July 2020
Here lies a PDF map to world seed WIZARD. It's something that could help you to gain 100% items, or perhaps to discover all the things you never knew Songbringer had, like a T-Rex wearing a top hat aboard the titular vessel, the game's penultimate dungeon. Feel free to share the link with others as you wish. Be forewarned, there are dangerous secrets ahead. http://wizardfu.com/assets/SONGBRINGER-World-Seed-WIZARD.pdf Cheers, Nathanael
- Soundtrack Release - 13 June 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F9261775%2Fd852032177cf38963c6365292dc7b8ddc0461c4e.png At long last, Songbringer's soundtrack has been released. The game's glitchy, somewhat-procedural bass music has been codified into the form of an album for the pleasure of your ear drums. This is a gapless album. One song flows into the next to create a seamless, coherent whole. As such, it plays best start to finish rather than being shuffled. Did you know the game actually has all music in procedural form? The rhythms remain constant yet the melody can change slightly depending on your world seed and dungeon number. For example, world seed PEANUT might have a dungeon 1 in the key of A while world seed YELLOW might have it in the key of C#. Additionally, the game's music is adaptive, so when there are more enemies on screen the music gets more intense by adding layer…
- Songbringer gets tuned up with a new boss and difficulty - 24 April 2018
It’s always been a surprise to me that last year’s Songbringer didn’t catch on more, especially given John’s gushing review . Hot on the heels of the likes of Hyper Light Drifter, it presented a similar brand of deliciously pixelly hack n’ slashery, but paired to a remarkably robust rogue-ish template. Perhaps today’s free piece of DLC – The Trial Of Ren – will bring a few more players into the fold with promises of a dramatic new boss fight, quirky new gear and a new power to unlock. (more…)

- Antecedent Update v1.0.5 - 11 February 2018
This minor update is (once again) full of improvements, bug fixes and other stuff that helps to prepare for the upcoming major update. The good news is that all of the new content is finished, including a new boss, an arena with waves of enemies and many new items and abilities such as the charged sword attack, a sword parry ability, shirt armor, drones which help find 100% items and a cursed ring which makes enemies more difficult but increases your final score. Because the major update will be launched on all platforms simultaneously (including PS4 and Xbox One), some more time is required to test for quality assurance and go through the approval and validation processes on those platforms. While these things are being finalized, you can try everything out in the beta version. Just switch to the beta and give it a shot. Instructions on how to switch to the beta version here. So here's…
