HUMANKIND OPENDEV SCENARIO 1 “TOWERS OF BABYLON” NOW AVAILABLE

admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2020 13:47:37 +0000

Standing at the center of civilization, Babylon is, was, and always will be one of the greatest cities the world has ever seen. It’s your turn to write a chapter in its glorious history. How will you be remembered?

Ourselves, we hope to be remembered for our wonderful strategy games, always crafted with the community’s input. Today we start that process for Humankind by giving access to a first 45-minute OpenDev scenario focused on exploration. Two more scenarios will follow in the coming month.

A few key things to remember:

Scenarios are time limited – each will be available from Thursday at 07:00 PDT/ 16:00 CEST/ 15:00 BST through Monday at the same time
We will grant access to additional applicants with each new scenario – so players should keep checking their email in the coming weeks
Getting access later grants access to all previous scenarios – In fact, we would prefer that newcomers play the scenarios in order as they have a bit of an onboarding logic to them
Applications will remain open during the entire process – Even if you weren’t selected for this first round, you can apply now for a chance to be included in the 2^nd or 3^rd wave of players

Last but certainly not least, a reminder about why we’re doing OpenDev: to get your feedback. The game is still in an early state, and these scenarios are targeted to test out small slices and specific features.

Community input is extremely important to us and we want to work together to make Humankind an amazing game!

We hope you enjoy & can’t wait to hear what you think!

HUMANKIND FEATURE FOCUS #4 – “SHAPING YOUR LEGACY”AVAILABLE NOW

Why are some empires remembered, and others consigned to the ash heap of history? With Humankind, we want the journey to matter more than the destination. Todays installment of our feature focus video series looks at how you’ll be leaving your mark on history, and the civilization that you’ll be building along the way. The unified victory condition in Humankind is your fame score. Across six eras, you will earn era stars that contribute to your fame score in different ways: growing your population, expanding your cities, researching technology, being culturally influential, and winning battles, to name a few. Additional fame will be awarded for achievements like circumnavigating the globe or building a wonder. As you transition through the eras, you will be able to choose a new culture, or else transcend as your current culture. Each culture has an emblematic unit and quarter that only they can produce, a special skill related to their affinity, and a legacy trait that your civilization will keep forever. What matters most is to be remembered – what you will be remembered for is up to you! We hope you enjoy, – the Ampliteam Check out their video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIpBX2RozJk&feature=youtu.be CHECK OUT WEBSITE: https://humankind.game/
