{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458819/1ff72262e381b7318869847bc85121358ce23b86.jpg We're releasing a small hotfix to a few minor issues identified after releasing Free To Play Patch 7. We'll continue to address major issues that affect Workshop, SourceMod or the Stats system, as well as any crashes that are reported to us. Special thanks to Prohorov Ilja for testing SourceMod support on his server!

Exciting news as the Blade Symphony Stats system is back online, recording data, and re-integrated with the game. You’ll see your global rank and league in-game, in some new areas! The other major update is that Blade Symphony’s Steam Workshop support is back! The majority of old items should once again work in-game and be visible to other players. We’re still working to clear up any issues that may arise fro

Unfortunately, SourceMod support for 64-bit operating systems is still underdeveloped, which is what the Windows and Linux dedicated servers use. Until the wonderful SourceMod team are able to improve 64-bit support, we decided to switch gears and fix crashes and bugs that we've noticed new players are encountering. After this update, we want to pivot to working on workshop support for older items. Th

After all, having fluid swordplay is important. Thankfully, since the last update, there have been very few crashes. The team thought it was important to spend some time reducing the amount of times players will receive "hitches" in-game, or finding ways to reduce filesize. The result is Free To Play Patch 5! This should allow us to keep going with more patches, and more change

Many of the crashes you may have been experiencing were due to memory issues in the game. So, our awesome new programmer Josh "Slartibarty" Dowell was able to refactor a big portion of the code to be more efficient. It's quite the difference! In addition, we're replacing our custom asset streaming with the

Today, we will be reproducing known bugs, looking for new bugs, and testing the stability of the current development version of Blade Symphony. Free To Play Patch 4 is set to release this week. While it may not appear to be very bug, it contains over 200 memory fixes to Blade Symphony and the Source Engine. This should swat pretty much any crash that has occurred over the last 10 months!

Everyone, I wanted to send out a quick announcement for those that didn't read our last news post. "... items for those that purchased the game are coming. In total, 10 exclusive items will be given out to owners of the premium game. We hope we won't have to stop there." We're working hard to get these in, but as giving them to ONLY those who purchased Blade Symphony, is a whole different set of technical steps, it takes a little time. We should have them in with a crash fix patch later this week. Thank you for everyone who has hopped on our Discord and helped us solve issues, or provided posi

Multiplayer swordfighting game Blade Symphony has gone free-to-play.  The move was announced in 2017 and follows the massive Harmonious Prelude update, which upgraded the game engine and added new modes on top of the standard 1v1 arena duels. Developer Puny Human said in a Steam post on Friday that the change was not a money grab, and that only four items would be for sale through an in-game store—all it wanted was to make the game "more accessible, and have a longer life", it said. Unfortunately, the game has been flooded with negative reviews since the change. The user
