Happy Lunar New Year! Join the Community Challenge

I received the announcement in game before the blog post was up.

Consider adding other countries to the progress since Lunar New Year isn't just Chinese culture. It's common in East Asia. Vietnam, Korea and Japan(before The Meiji Restoration) celebrate it.

This is a nice event but some acknowledgement in the game would be good.

+1 to all those saying other East/Southeast Asian cultures should be added to the list, too many games center their LNY community events near-exclusively around Chinese celebrations already. 

LoL.

The same problem with the event like last time - the Games2Gather web says it is started, steam game page says the same, but when Iaunch the game - it shows that there is no event at this time. Guys there is no in-game message, annoucment, anything. Last time I missed the event - simple because of that. Thanks a lot.

U know guys it is almost 28 january in my country, and the game still didnt fire the event?

Where do we track our progress?  I don't see an event for this on my Humankind game menu.

Yeah, I definitely agree with all the comments saying the Joseon and possibly Edo should also be included in this event. 

I'm happy to see that this a proper community event, and not an individual one as most companies do.

When you make events individual, where someone HAS to play to get a thing, you're forcing them to commit time to something that they might not normally do. Often killing enjoyment of a game in the process, just for FOMO. Which most times ends up backfiring. There's been countless games with such events where players have missed on such content, and then just abandoned the games entirely because they now know they're missing content. Yes, even when the content is trivial or meaningless, it still has an effect on people.

I'm happy to see you're doing a real community event, where everyone can get something, even if they don't have the time to play currently. This is how you ensure player dedication and devotion and how you bring communities together.

Will the game be updated in time for stadia users to join in on the event?

Спасибо!

Community challenges are definitely a nice adjustment, much fewer issues with individual progress bugs and FOMO.

Small thing though: maybe add Joseon to the list of cultures to play as. I know that LNY often refers to "Chinese New Year" and that's what events are based on, but there are many more East Asian lunisolar new year festivities around that time of the year, and especially the Korean New Year shares a lot of influences.

It's also celebrated heavily in Thailand due to a big Chinese minority there (biggest Chinese diaspora) who has existed in this size there since the 18th century, so maybe even add the Siamese to the list.

And for even more inclusion, add the Edo Japanese but not the modern Japanese culture (the Meiji westernization implemented the Gregorian calendar instead).

great! I like community challenges much more than the solo thing from november.

Now THIS sounds like a nice event. *thumps up*

And when are we going to receive the rewards from amplitude 2022? Thanks for this event, i would love if it could be like Día de los muertos event, that one had better challenges and interface to play.

Good!

Wait, how you play as Zhou, Ming? Am I missing something?

Launch Humankind

Start a new game

Hit 1 to 3 Neolithic Era Stars

Select Zhou as your Ancient Era's culture

Transcend Zhou up to choosing your Early Modern Era's culture

Select Ming as your Early Modern Era's culture

Easy-peasy !

And if you're up for it, transcend Ming up to choosing Contemporary Era's culture.

Select Chinese culture and enjoy the fun !

Ohhhhhhh. :o Oh my god, I didn't realize the score is not personal. What a relief, thanks.

So I already played two games as these cultures(blitz mode). About 10 hours put in. Account connected. Progress is barely any, less then 10% to the first unlock(there are three) Wish I could attach a screenshot. SO for me FOMO hit hard. This is worse than prev event. If I play a 5 hour game every f*ckin day as Chinese cultures(how fun)... I'll probably unlock 1/3 of the event by the end of it. Is it just me or you guys feel feel happy to put  so many hours to play 3 cultures and barely unlock anything from the event.

It's a communautary event, lasting until February 16th (so 20 days in total). As long as 50000 stars (1000000/20) are collectively achieved each day, we're fine.

Hello together!

Great event. I also got an announcement for this event at the start of the game. But when I click on Extras in the game menu, it says under Event that there is no event in progress? Is that correct? Do I participate? Do I have to set a check mark somewhere that I participate?

Thank you!
