Cantata Released!

It is with distinct pleasure that I can say that the ambitious tactical-strategy game my team has been working on for the past few years (and me for nearly a decade) has finally released into 1.0 from Early Access.

For those who don’t know, Cantata is a game that combines elements of 4X, Grand Strategy, Tactics, Automation, and RTS games into something we call a Grand Tactics” game. Think something like Total War, but with no distinction between the tactical” and strategic” view.

The game brings a 30-hour handcrafted, spiritual sci-fi campaign inspired by people like Ann Lecke and Jeff Vandermeer, and on top of that boasts online and local multiplayer, as well as an incredibly robust map editor (we used the same editor to make the campaign maps!).

If this sounds like you jam, I’d love for you to pick it up on Steam and leave us a positive review!

With this release I also hope to write a little more regularly, as its no surprise that the cadence of me posting here dipped during final production.

Until then, go buy and play Cantata!
