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.

Ich freue mich das es eine Chance gibt das spiel zu testen, aber 1 1/2 jahre warten ist sehr schwierig. Corona und andere Krisen sind teils drann schuld das es soweit kommen musste, denoch hoffe ich dass das team die zeit so gut wie möglich nutzt um Humankind zu einem Spiel machen zu können das sogar CIV übertrumpfen wird


I am happy that there is a chance to test the game, but waiting 1 1/2 years is very difficult. Corona and other Crises are partly to blame for the fact that it had to come to this, but I hope that the team will use the time as well as possible to make Humankind a game that will even outdo CIV

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.

Phew! Thanks!

Hi @Murtallica 

The only browser we had issues with is Safari. Do you have any plugin installed on chrome that you can try to deactivate?


Thanks.

I'm incredibly excited; thank you for this opportunity, Amplitude.  I hope to be selected; I will be an active, constructive asset to helping you make the best game possible.  If I, sadly, don't then I'll still be, of course, supporting one of my favorite companies ever.  Thank you.

Announcement was great, if not only for Epic sponsored show you chose to make it. Most people will remember it in a bad light.
