Welcome to HUMANKIND™ OpenDev!


"Getting feedback as early as possible from our players has always been our way of creating the best games we can. In fact, we designed the GAMES2GETHER platform and program 10 years ago to fill that missing link between our dev team and our players.

Today, we're very excited to present OpenDev: a new way for players to get early access into our developing games so they can help us make sure we're on the right path.

We're really excited to try this out with HUMANKIND™ -- we're looking forward to your feedback on our most ambitious game yet!" 
- Romain de Waubert


WHAT IS OPENDEV?

OpenDev is our new approach to community-driven game development. It allows you to join the dev team and help shape the game during its production. 

Starting June 13th, register and get a chance to get access to 3 time-limited scenarios focusing on specific core features of the game (exploration, tactical battles, basic city management). Each scenario concludes with a game design survey that will help our dev team level-up the game! 



REGISTER NOW!

Fill the form below and get a chance to be one of the first to play HUMANKIND™ . Once selected, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and the game will be automatically added to your Steam library. The number of players who get access will be increased as we release new scenarios, so stay tuned! 

UPDATE August 13th, 2020: Today, we will send the last wave of OpenDev invitations for now. The sign-up form will remain open until Monday for future OpenDev-related opportunities.


Registrations are now closed. If you want to stay up to date on Humankind news, you can sign up for the newsletter at Humankind.game

Thank you to everybody who participated in the OpenDev program.

How can I join?

By signing up/logging in to Games2Gether, you will get access to a registering form.

In what regions will HUMANKIND™ OpenDev be available?

I haven’t been selected for the first scenario, what can I do?

OpenDev only has a limited number of spots, that will increase for each scenario release. Not having access to the first scenario does not necessaritly mean that you will not get access to the next one. Keep an eye open on your inbox ;-)


Is OpenDev free?

OpenDev is completely free! 


How long will the game stay in my Steam library ?

OpenDev is limited in time. Each scenario is accessible only for 4 days, and previously unlocked scenarios will remain playable during this period. Once these 4 days are over, the game will be removed from your Steam library.

A great oppertunity to help make sure the game is the best game it can be.  

I loved Endless Legends and have been anticipating this game for a long time now.

Love the wit and humor that goes into Amplitude games. Would be psyched to see that played out in a historical 4x. 

Also, am I the only one who thinks it weird the survey asks about Stellaris and Hearts of Iron, but not Europa or Crusader Kings?

I'd say Civ is the regarded gold standard for 4x, but I actually think that Amplitude has better foundation and core mechanics.  Unfortunately, they're just less appreciated and also harder to get just right.  I would love to see the unique consideration that Amplitude gives its game systems fully capitalized on.  The amount of ANNO, Stellaris, Age of Empires II, Endless Space, and Endless Legend I've played has caused me to spent many an evening with a whisky and a notebook fondly brainstorming the ways in which the apectual 4x/grand-strategy game could be designed.

Please make sure to give Africa its respect and not follow every other civ game. They had like 8 major empires and plenty of huge civilizations.
