Nice, good luck for the EA launch!
Good luck!
Trailer looks great!
Thank you!
Hello all! We're going into Early Access on Steam on May 12th, 2022!
Almost there... The 12th of May might seem far away now, but whoever has ever worked on a game knows well that the last weeks can be hell!
Trailer looks good though, I am sure you will do great. Good luck with it!
BTW, have you always planned to go for EA or is it something you decided only recently?
I am always pondering over it and knowing about the decision process of other devs might help.
we went back and forth on it and tbh went for it because of the "scale" of Cantata and how many things could potentially go wrong. It's the sort of game that really just needs lots of hands playing it and giving feedback and opinions of faction balance, map balance, etc., and it felt too risky to just release a 1.0 out of the gate and hope for the best.
We're also working on another big feature that we want to grow directly with the community, so getting that out at EA time makes sense instead of just trying to guess what people want.
