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.



FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How can I join?

By signing up/logging in to Games2Gether, you will get access to a registering form. After answering a few questions about your gaming habits and PC specifications, you will be registered on the waiting list. If selected, you will later receive a confirmation email and HUMANKIND™ OpenDev will be added to your steam library automatically.

Please note that you have to be 18 or over to join OpenDev.


In what regions will HUMANKIND™ OpenDev be available?

 OpenDev will be available worldwide, but will only be playable in English. HUMANKIND™ will however be localized in several other languages at its release. 


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. 


***SPECIAL NOTE***
If you are having issues with form, and you are using Safari and/or Safari on mobile, please try another browser! Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for this! This is not just a great way for the devs to connect with their playerbase, but also a chance for the game to be tested in different system requirements. I just registered, and my laptop's system requirements fit the minimum, I hope.


P.S. New member here! Hi!

On Steam Humankind is shown to support macOS and Windows but this registration form here asks only for Windows. I'm happy to not run Windows on any of my machines since 2001. At what time macOS users can contribute to opendev?

I'm excited for the opportunity, and I hope to be picked for the OpenDev program. I love how Amplitude engages their customers and fans like this. It makes you one of the best companies in the industry.

Thank you for this opportunity, this game appears to be everything I have ever wanted from a strategy game!

One question: Regarding "Registrations start on June 13th and end on June 26th" - does this refer to that the testing begins on June 26th, or that the testing is done between the dates of June 13th-26th?

As I said to @Sublustris this is normal, if admittedly a bit confusing.

Chrome should work. You should try again later, when fewer people are trying to fill it out at once.

I'm definitely curious how this game compares to Old World at the beginning and how deep the civics will be compared to Civ V/VI. Anyway - while this is a great opportunity for all 4x games, I hope you will consider purchasable Early Access through Steam for those who won't be successful through G2G. Either way - thanks for doing this and godspeed!
