Yes, but any pronoun is ok for them!
We posted this before but the link was borked at first. ICYMI, we have an official discord now :)
After 5 years we’ve finally created an official Wandersong discord community! This will be a space for fans of Wandersong and our other projects to hang out and chat, and it’s where we’ll be sharing news about future projects too.
Be seeing you there!

Hi! I absolutely LOVE the use of color in this game, it’s so pretty and the little touches it adds are super cool. I was wondering how you came up with the different palettes for the Bard? There are so many and they’re so different and wonderful, and I’ve been meaning to do something like that myself
Thank you! I took a lot of inspiration from Cucumber Quest and the works of Gigidigi; she does amazing dramatic stuff with color in her work that was new to me and that definitely emboldened me to try getting crazy with varied color palettes in Wandersong.
Technically the bard only has one animation set, and they’re tinted using something called a LUT (look up texture). They’re a super easy and efficient way to create refined color adjustments, and you can manipulate color to look however you want in art software eg. photoshop and then import that result into gameneignes or film editing software. very powerful stuff!!!

Hi!! Big fan, played through twice and watched many other playthroughs, I’ve recently been getting my mom to play video games (she hasn’t been an avid gamer since the GameCube) and she’s been enjoying wandersong more than any other game I’ve got her to play. She’s recently started chapter 5 and when talking to a character named “Tyrone” in Rulle, she got a kick out of the fact that almost all of his dialogue were Lyrics straight out of a Sheryl Crow song called “soak up the sun”, I was amazed and had to look up the song to confirm, as I thought I knew about almost all the secrets and Easter eggs in this game. If you don’t mind I have a few questions
We’d be surprised if nobody noticed this before… but, we don’t actually know if anyone has, haha! Your mom can claim being the first!
I (Greg) was obsessed with this song when I was living on my bicycle and it got me through some tough days so I wanted to honor it somewhere.
I “called back” to this “joke” during the credits with a much more recognized lyrical reference in the same area, that one to All Star by Smash Mouth.
The bard plush is available RIGHT NOW! For 2 weeks only! Thank you and have a happy holiday :)
an important announcement: the bard is real. we made them into a plush. they will be born on the bard’s birthday, december 18th. we hope you like them!

hey!! i have a question, but rq i really love your game!! i used to be so obsessed with it and recently i played it again and im literally so in love(^o^) my question though was where do the sound effects come from? like miriams grumble, captain lucas’s yells, audreys exclaims, the bards snores, etc etc, where do they all come from? were they all sounds from people on the team or was it something else? thank you so much!!
All of the character’s voices were performed by us and our friends. I cherish the times we spent recording them. Miriam’s vocals were all Em, Captain Lucas was all Gord, and I (Greg) did all of the bard’s non-singing vocals (so the snore, the gasps and oohs, etc.) Audrey was voiced by my then-roommate Jaymee Mak, she was getting into TV acting at the time although now she works at Brace Yourself Games (!)
If you’re really curious, you might enjoy this video of us recording some of the voices. we used to livestream working on the game… I don’t understand twitch very well, but somehow for some reason this video fragment is the only record that’s persisted from those days https://www.twitch.tv/videos/81454527

Are monsters besides the ones resulting from the world's end common in the Wandersong universe? If so, does that mean there's more mean critters like the crab monster out there? How common are they?
well, there’s monsters like the trolls too! so it kinda depends on your definition. we’d say there are lots of cool creatures out in the world of the game that never had a reason to appear onscreen.

Are there more locales in the world than what we got to see in the game? I'd like to imagine there's plenty of vibrant places to go that weren't visited simply because of the urgency of the bard's journey! Also, could someone make a cohesive world map if they wanted to, with what we know about the regions we saw?
we definitely imagined there were many many other places and people you never got to see. an entire planet’s worth! we tried to lay out the “globe” shown at the end of the game to meaningfully represent the places you’d visited, but there’s really no strict way to interpret it from the information in the game.
