Hey, I’m Brian, handle is Darclas many places online. I heard about Cantata from the Three Moves Ahead (podcast) episode in april, and it’s been on my wishlist ever since. I finally picked it up a week ago, so I’m very new around here.
My early gaming roots were more strategy focused, especially the original Command and Conquer, Age of Wonders, then Starcraft. In the last decade I’ve settled much more into tactics with the Firaxis XCOM games and Into The Breach standing out. Another favorite of mine that is a little less mainstream is the Banner Saga trilogy, and the vibes I get from Cantata’s story and art even remind me a bit of those games.
I spent several years designing and refining a tactical board game (finished but never published), and so some of Cantata’s foundational design concepts feel familiar. I am excited to get back into that headspace of unit variety and balance, even if only from a distance.
Looking forward to watching this community continue to grow.
