Hey all! 



As we told you last week, we’re having a new Humankind OpenDev Scenario for everybody* who has pre-purchased the game on Steam! From now until December 28th at 16:00 CET, you can try the game out yourself and let us know what you think. 


At more than 100 turns, facing off against 7 other civilizations from the Neolithic to the end of the Early Modern Era, this is the biggest chunk of gameplay we’ve shared with you so far. And as always in OpenDev, we look forward to hearing your feedback about your experience with the game.



So how can you play the Humankind Lucy OpenDev? Just follow these simple steps: 

  1. Make sure that HUMANKIND™ is in your Steam library.
    1. If you have pre-purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition on Steam, it should be there already
    2. If you have purchased a Steam key from another retailer, you must Redeem the key on Steam first before proceeding to the next step
  2. Visit GAMES2GETHER
    1. If you already have an account, go ahead and login
    2. If you do not have an account, please create one
  3. Steam connect your G2G account on the rewards page here. If you have already connected your account in the past, you may need to re-sync
  4. Click on the “Lucy OpenDev” reward and hit Redeem.
  5. Go back to your Steam library, and Humankind – OpenDev should appear there automatically 

Note: During events like the OpenDev, Games2Gether often experiences periods of intense traffic. If you are having any issues redeeming rewards, syncing accounts, or logging in, then please try again a bit later.


While you wait for it to download, feel free to watch our quick Getting Started video before you dive in: 



In this OpenDev scenario, you will be playing as Lucy Adam, star of our recent trailer, but in the full game, you will get to customize your own avatar and share it with your friends. Not just their appearance, but their behavior as an AI opponent as well! You can learn more about that in our Feature Focus on it soon. We’ve also created some special avatars for some of our favorite twitch streamers that you can unlock as AI opponents to play against in Humankind by watching their streams. If you watch enough of their streams, or by other participating streamers, you can even get free access to the Lucy OpenDev!



Eager to get your hands on these cool Avatars or the Lucy OpenDev? Just follow these simple steps to prepare for the Twitch drops:

  1. Make sure you have a Twitch account
  2. Login to your Games2Gether Account (or create one if you need to)
  3. Go to your "Profile" page, and from there to your "Account Settings"
  4. On this page, you can see a button to Link your Twitch account.
  5. After you click this button, you will be prompted to log into twitch and confirm the link
  6. You should be set now. Go and enjoy some HUMANKIND™ streams!

You should get the Streamer Avatars after watching half an hour of their streams. For the LucyOpenDev, you'll have to show a bit more endurance, and watch a total of three hours across any of the participating streamers. Once you have watched enough to gain access, the Lucy OpenDev reward will appear in your Games2Gether Rewards page, and you can redeem it as described above.


We hope you'll have fun with the Lucy OpenDev!



* The Lucy OpenDev is available only in English and only on PC.

I have also problems to get the Humankind reward. 


I tried to synchronize my Steam Account several times the last two days. It seams to work so far, but the reward is not listed in the reward section.


I followed several advices and hints listed here but it does not work.


So, what can I do to get the reward?

For many people that having trouble It can help doing few things :-)

1. Try the hole sync your account to  steam in inkognito mode or another webbrowser

2. Restart steam from the hidden iconmenu down the right corner.

3. If all things fails pray that dew or 9ocat helps out

Better than VI for sure, and probably also better than V. Civilization peaked at Civ IV.


I received an update through Steam today, anyone knows what they changed? Bugfixes?

I got a drop on twitch, but when I open Lucy on steam I don't seen any of the avatars and I don't have a reward here to unlock. Any knowledges as to how to solve this would be deeply appreciated.

Did you TwitchLink your G2G Account? Did you click on the "redeem" button on your twitch inventory?

It may help to unlink/relink your twitch account (a "sync" button is on the way).

Thank you for your tips. Whilst I didn't actually use them it pointed me at the solution.

Opening the steam menu from the hidden iconmenu down the bottom right corner showed me the launch Lucy Beta option.

I am now playing Humankind.

Yes I have my twitch linked to my G2G account.

Yes I clicked the redeem button in my drop inventory.

I also unlink/relink my twitch account and nothing has changed thus far.


Thank you for responding btw.

I see that you have now the Open Dev Participant badge! You should be able to see the reward on the reward page. If not, please force refresh (ctrl+F5).

Seems to have worked now, but it just took such a long time to load.

Thank you for your patience and help.

Really smooth in the beginning, i'm now turn 105 and... Oh boy every thing is off. 

I misclicked and used Irreligion si no more religion at all. 

Empire 1 and I have been at war since turn 80 and I crushed everything he sent my way but no way to make him surrender. UI says I haven't enought war thingy but, dude you dead. 

And Last turn empire 2 apparently declared war, but no big message, and I can't attack him, his troops or his outposts ?

Ultimate UI cheat ?

I don't think I'll finish the last 45 turns (graphics and sound also began to get glitchy) 

So I wanted to give you the feedback ?

You're doing  an amazing job. 

✌️

@Sobert 

Can you please comment on OpenDev eligibility for those who purchase on the Epic games store?

I pre-bought the game over Steam at the end of October. Even though I should be eligible, I can't play the OpenDev. When I go to the page in my library on Steam, it just says "BUY" and that's it. I even contacted the Steam support and they told me that the key for the Lucy open dev seems to have been revoked and that I should contact the game issuer. Did anyone else have the same issue?

I've tried everything, but still can't get Lucy OpenDev to start. After holding CTRL + F5 for hours, I both changed browser and tried incognito mode, I connected the Steam account probably 30 times. On Steam, the game appears but takes me to the shop page. Starting it from the icon at the bottom right, "ticket update in progress" appears and takes me back to the same page. Windows restarted several times. Any other suggestions?

Hello @Nodiink,

To be able to play the Lucy OpenDev, you have to redeem it in G2G first.

Can you try to resync your Twitch Account (unlink it and link it again)? If you got the Drop on Twitch and already claimed it, it will unlock you a badge here that will give you access to the Lucy OpenDev reward :)
