Humankind Closed Beta Available June 13th to June 21stJun 13, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsAfter every OpenDev so far, we have seen comments from many players asking us to let them keep playing, or at least host another OpenDev, and Victor was no exception. In fact, after the recent glimpse of the Industrial era in articles and videos, the cries may have been louder than ever before. Luckily, there’s a Closed Beta, and it’s bigger than any OpenDev before! From June 13th at 14:30 PT / 23:30 CEST to June 21st at 14:30 PT / 23:30 CEST, play up to 200 turns of Humankind (PC and English language only), and for the first time ever try the industrial era and the new opportunities it brings. Exploit coal and oil to push your economy to new heights of productivity. Build railways to cheaply and quickly move goods and troops. Fight the biggest battles yet, support them with long range artillery bombardment, and take to the skies to keep an eye on your enemies! And of course, be sure to fill out the survey and let us know what you think. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036619/bdffb08e064a72622667fa2363dbe3c3355f119b.jpg How do you get your hands on the Closed Beta? If you have played the Victor OpenDev, the Closed Beta should already be in your Steam library. If you have pre-purchased on Steam, go to your profile page to link your Steam account, then go to your rewards page and redeem the Closed Beta access at the top. You can also earn access through Twitch-drops on participating channels, but make sure your Games2Gether account is linked to both Steam and Twitch (check your account settings to be sure) If you are having any problems, please check the troubleshooting thread first. Speaking of Twitch: Drops for the special streamer avatars are back as well, so you will have another chance to unlock them before release (though there will still be chances after release, and these avatars will be usable in the release version of the game as well). This time around, some of these avatars will even already have their own voice acting, so if you are a fan of any of these streamers, be sure to give playing against their avatar a try. They're even joined by a new face, Frankie Ward, cohost of the PC Gaming Show! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036619/76f63102b255ac1b81415acf2b18caff895861ae.jpg If you have any trouble getting access to the Closed Beta, please check the Troubleshooting thread, and while we are as eager to hear your feedback as you are to give it, please take a moment to read the Welcome Thread first. Have fun! - The Amplitude TeamHumankind Victor OpenDev Available NowApr 22, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsOver the course of Humankind’s development, we have given our players several opportunities to try the game and let us know what they think through the OpenDev program. Every time, we saw valuable survey data, interesting discussions, and constructive feedback. And every time, the OpenDev period was almost immediately followed by one question: When will be the next time we can test the game and give feedback? The answer to this question is as simple as it is exciting: Right now! From Thursday, April 22nd to Monday, May 3rd, the new Victor OpenDev is available on Steam. In this OpenDev scenario, you will have up to 150 turns to guide your civilization from the Neolithic Era to the end of the Early Modern Era. Once you finish the game, you will be given a chance to fill out a survey, as in the previous OpenDev. Those of you who have participated in OpenDev before may notice that this scope is very similar to the Lucy OpenDev. While we know that our fans are eager to try the final two eras of the game, we want to focus on the content we shared before and be able to compare the feedback, as we have made many improvements to the game since the Lucy OpenDev. Here are just a few examples: Rebalanced game pace, economy, and cultures Improved District placement User Interface Improved territory and outpost management Improved Diplomacy User Interface New Unit Classes like Anti-Cavalry {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036619/ed8cd7d453db14e06cf620ccdb75159147a17c9a.jpg So how do you play the Victor OpenDev to give us your feedback?

We wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your interest and participation in OpenDev. We’ve received a lot of great feedback through both the survey and the OpenDev forums, and we consider the OpenDev a great success. While you will no longer be able to play the scenarios, and we will close the OpenDev forum later this week, we are still analyzing all the feedback we have received. We’ll share more insight into the feedback and lessons from OpenDev later. We hope you all enjoyed your time with the OpenDev of Humankind, a stay tuned for future opportunities! - The Amplitude TeamHumankind OpenDev Starts Now!Jul 30, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036619/3aeb82140c10a9e90447f11d76aa953f1f9597c1.png Hey everybody ! The time we have all been waiting for has finally arrived: the Humankind OpenDev period starts now! If you've been selected to participate in the first scenario, you will soon receive a welcome email. Make sure to check our spam folder too! We all know how zealous those filters can be. Check back tomorrow as well, as the emails may take up to 24h to arrive. Once you know you've been selected, go to your Games2Gether Profile page and look for the OpenDev Reward at the top of the page. Redeem this reward to add Humankind OpenDev to your Steam library and be among the first people to play Humankind! If you haven't been selected yet, don't give up hope! We will ad more players over the course of OpenDev, so you may still get to participate with the second or third scenario, and you can even still sign up! In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for a lot of fresh Humankind content, as OpenDev participants are free to share their experiences or livestream. You can also join us for streams every week, starting today at 6PM CEST. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036619/e03235c48ea66a00d6b188286fe67e54b0af2956.png A few key points to remember: Share your experience! - The contents of OpenDev are not under NDA, so feel free to stream or make videos! (Please do mention that this is an early version of the game, though.) OpenDev Access needs to be redeemed through Games2Gether - Access to OpenDev is distributed through our Games2Gether Reward system, so double-check that your Steam account is linked. Check the OpenDev subforum - There is a forum for OpenDev participants to discuss their experience and post feedback. If you cannot see the forum, please log out and back in again. Scenarios are time limited – Each will be available from Thursday at 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST / 07:00 PDT through Monday at the same time The scenarios end with a survey - We know surveys can be boring, but please take your time to fill out the survey after you finish a scenario. The survey is vital for the feedback gathering of OpenDev. We will grant access to additional applicants with each new scenario – Keep checking their email in the coming weeks! Getting access later grants access to all previous scenarios – In fact, we would prefer that even if you join later you play the scenarios in order as they have a bit of an tutorial progression 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 2nd or 3rd wave of players We're thrilled by the interest you have all shown in OpenDev and are looking forward to your feedback. Let's make Humankind a great 4X game together! We hope you'll have fun with this first taste of what the game has to offer, -- The Amplitude Team
