Development plan

[Zymeth]

I'd love to play a complex strategy, miedieval fantasy game with unique characters like in Rimworld/Dwarf fortress, but also polished macro-scale gameplay.
My question is - what is your ultimate goal, dear Devs? What would you like to be present in the game to say it is complete?

The obvious is fleshing out the empire management part. But right now, focus is on the city builder aspect. there's a rough plan here: https://trello.com/b/wF5RYqdF/songs-of-syx

Hopefully the modding community will prosper as well.

Thanks , wish you health and success

There's always a chance, but t's nothing planned :). Game will take a minimum 3 more years to complete, but probably longer. Heath and success to you too!

Good luck, I hope it will be fun for you all the way!

You did / do have a multiplayer menu option (demo), is that a pointless placeholder?

[Gamatron]

That button has probably been there since I made the menu 4 years ago. I've removed it now for the next update though. It will have an optional feature where you upload your cities, which then may occur on other players maps. That's what's planned.

This is not a game like Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld where you have a small band of unique characters that you train up.

People in Song of Syx die constantly and are replaced.

Also, the first few times you play Song of Syx you might play for some time with less than 100 people, but once you learn how the game works you can pretty much instantly go from 10 people to 300 people to 600 people etc, etc, etc....

It feels very different than Rimworld or Dwarf Fortress.
