Cantata is part of The MIX Next showcase this year, where you can check out our reveal trailer and also reacquaint yourself with the demo of the game.
Cantata is a character-driven tactical strategy game that puts you in the middle of a spiritual, pragmatic war for survival. Play as one of the nine commanding officers from one of the three factions - the Machines, Humans or Aliens - and leverage your faction’s unique powers and abilities to slowly expand your hold on this alien world.
We're currently working on some really fun content to share with the community very soon. Here's how you can stay tuned for more Cantata news and exciting announcements.
It's one of our favourite genres and favourite Steam Festivals because it's all about games inspired by and bustling with homages to tabletop games.
The team behind Cantata has a lot of time and love for that genre and we hope that players diving into the worlds of our game will find connections between some gameplay elements and their own favourite tabletop titles.
Hang around the Steam Tabletop Fest and let us know what you think of Cantata.

In case you have missed any of our previous livestreams, we have gathered all videos here for you to enjoy. We want to give people deeper insight into what's possible with the Cantata modding tools, as well as give you a deeper peek at all the mechanics in the game working in concert!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the stream last week! Here’s the stream archive video:

This is the fifth and final video in a series of videos where we create an overhaul mod in Cantata from scratch! In this video we walk your through Interactable Projects and Supply Lines, diving into some of the meatiest topics in all of Cantata! We also tease some upcoming features (individual unit progression anyone?).
For anyone interested in two of the MAJOR core mechanics of Cantata, check this video out. Projects are the backbone of unit and building functionality, helping to give each unit a unique feel and playstyle. Supply lines ferry resources between any two units or buildings, and the most effective way of moving resources around the map to build your army closer to the front line!
Like I said above, this the final video in our modding series (for now!). We're taking a break to plan out our next series of streams, and are hoping to make them all MUCH more dedicated to Cantata's core gameplay and factions.
To be notified next time we go live, subscribe to us on Twitch or Youtube.
To everyone who watched this series of videos and came to hang out on the livestreams, thank you!
