New Songs of Syx update V70 Riders of Doom is going to come out on December 4, 2025. It will add an enhanced battle AI, cavalry, spearmen, resettlement and more.

@BardaBardaNate 69, 70 is the current.

@songsofsyx what version is the demo now?

@OstrichHungry Yes, I think this is already the case. The gender declaration has the map to what nameset file to use.

@songsofsyx that's amazing. Thank You! also, may I ask if we have a way to have different namelists for genders? I check it but it seems not possible. A male and female name distinction would be great.

@OstrichHungry Not for a regular modder, since each name is mapped by a byte 0-255.it would have to use a bigger data type. I will try and remember to increase it.

@songsofsyx Hey! I wanted to ask you something a bit specific. I'm working on a mod for the game and I ran into a limitation with the name list. The error I get is: Error parsing line: 1, key: NAMES. Invalid length of array: 419. Valid: 1–255. Is there any way to increase this limit?

@songsofsyx and Dwarf Fortress are not for the faint of heart. Get both in the bundle, but you can't say we didn't warn you first 😈

@RealmBuilderRPG Big thanks!

I recently discovered the PC game Songs of Syx. It’s brilliant and pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted from a fantasy city/empire builder/simulation game. I haven’t gotten to the “conqueror” stage yet, but what @songsofsyx has developed is amazing and I can’t recommend it highly enough. #SongsOfSyx #pcgaming

@Contradvanian Limitations are the source of innovation.

I am begging, FOCUS ON OPTIMIZATION AND GAMEPLAY! I have to give credit to @songsofsyx for being so great at optimizing their main gameplay (the editor is still a WIP imo)

@SakuraHeinz In the main menu you can see the whole old testament of SoS depicted. In v67 we actually finished this piece. There are also verses of this Bible in the load screen. Shmalor needs some representation though.

@songsofsyx Can we get pictures what the gods look like? And more detail what their religions stand for? I still dont know why anyone would worship Shamalor except the insect people.

@Nesphalim pretty sure they do. You might have had one early, giving you a poor review, in which case they're shy about coming. I'll add some info to the UI.

@songsofsyx Are tourists actually working in version 66? After researching tourism and building a tavern they never seem to visit. They work via the developer console fine. Are there hidden requirements?

Tourists are now waiting to see your creations. store.steampowered.com/news/app/11627…

@SCRIBtv I like roofs just as the next man. But I think such a view would be a little lackluster, since most build rectangular mega rooms, but maybe..

@songsofsyx this would probably be very hard to do but an idea none the less... Ability to see the city from a cityscape view to get a notion of what the city looks like with roofing and building heights etc Like i said almost probly not worth even doing but would be cool!

@HeroKhushrenada Is that a v66 city? Would love to put it in examples.

@Recalescense The -12 workers probably explains the weirdness. The lack of fulfillment the lack of immigrants.

@songsofsyx The current version on gog has some weirdness. +14 -6 and none getting stored. Sometimes it randomly says Production Rate 0 and no one moves in to the city -like ever.

@Greg_Brent @VoicesByZane It might look like crap, but at least it's not AI generated.

@VoicesByZane I will take this opportunity to shill for @songsofsyx a fantasy city-state building game made by one guy who is easily the most interactive developer I've ever seen It's like if Stronghold, Banished and Dwarf Fortress had a weird threeway baby and Total War was in the cuck chair

@rikeloldaboss V66 is marked to be the demo when 1.0 releases, but it's not stable or released yet. So it's going to be a long while. I can update to v65 soon enough. The demo is v64 I think.

@songsofsyx hey, i cant really buy the game, so is the demo (as said on the website) gonna be updated to 66 in like 3-6 months or is it just gonna stay that way 4eva. not complaining, just wanna know if i have to scrape together some cash.
