Kyle Kukshtel, lead developer of the game shares some words on the game:
"Really early on I knew I wanted Cantata to look different so it could stand out from the traditional brown/green palette of most strategy games. At the time I was also really into isometric pixel art (this is long before Into the Breach really popularized the style for the current gen of gamers), so I started to look at older games like Age of Wonders 1 and Alpha Centauri that started down this path and really got swept up into doing 3D. I felt like there was still a lot to pull out of the style and loved that it really could stand the test of time if done well.
On the character art front, honestly it was just a matter of trying to find an artist’s whose work had a really distinctive look and feel so we could stand out and make characters that were the stars of the show. We definitely found that in Artyom Trakhanov, and with his background in comic work he was really able to pose these otherwise static characters in dynamic positions and angles that make for really evocative portraits that you can pour over the details of and keep finding new things."
We hope you enjoy looking at the game as much as you enjoy playing it and hope to get your vote!
“The subtle world-building achieved by conversations that are somehow both terse and characterful creates a singular concoction that I confess I am utterly enamoured with.” – PC Gamer
“Cantata is bringing strategy to the stars, layering gorgeous, suitably otherworldly art over crunchy, immensely satisfying tactical gameplay.” – WePC 4/5
