Steam is showing a Q2 2022 release date, but I don't know if that's the release in general or if it's coming to Steam then. It's on my wishlist.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

Looking back at earlier comments/announcements, the devs did specifically say they were releasing onto Steam Early Access in Q2. 




I've wishlisted this and will send the receipt to Martok.

I'll add it to the stack.  8)

New dev blog (and first one in video format): 






Based on player feedback -- and especially issues they've seen media folks run into when showing off the game recently -- the devs have been putting in a lot of work on "smaller" things like unit pathfinding, UI/UX improvements, making things more intuitive and/or easier for players to understand, a crapload of QoL improvements, etc.  It's nice to see them taking the time to focus on this stuff.

The game is going into Early Access May 10.  I intend to wait until the full release, but this is still looking dang good.

Another dev log.  Looks like it's coming together.  :) 







They also announced the following in Discord today: 

Quote
We'll add 25 more testers to the closed alpha each week from now on! Please make sure to only apply if you are older than 18 years and have the time to actively play the game and provide feedback! You can apply by posting (only ONCE), with a motivation, in the 🔑alpha-keys channel! Best of luck to you all!

Just a heads-up that it does require joining their Discord channel (link).

I actually thought this was really neat. 






Magnus talks about how he and co-developer Carl have been pals since grade school, and grew up playing (and becoming obsessed with) fantasy games -- both pen & paper, and later video games, with the Heroes of Might & Magic series having an especially strong impact on them.  However Songs of Conquest turns out (and I obviously hope it turns out well), there's no question the game has truly been a labor of love for both of them.

Here's hoping the early access period is short! I'm getting pretty excited for this one.

Yeah, me too.  I've been itching for a good, "mature" fantasy strategy game for a while now, and I'm starting to think that Songs of Conquest just might be it.  Fingers crossed...

I want to like it I really do

But I always have the same problem I do with fallen enchantress, endless legend and aow games…… behold my glory as I stride across the land to take what is yours  with my 9 other colleagues and a goblin

Give me a force if 50000 goblins and trolls and knights and paladins and we’re talking but me and the pub darts team never convinced me this is an epic journey

You're definitely not wrong, 'geek.  All else being equal, I too would vastly prefer to have my fantasy 4x/GS games with more appropriately epic-sized armies, and just overall scale. 

Unfortunately, no one other than Creative Assembly is doing anything like that (or ever has, really).  I think the two Battle for Middle-Earth games were about as close as anyone else came to giving us the scale and/or scope you & I are looking for, and even those still fell short.

Okay, that got me good.  :ROFL:
