Amplitude Studios Announces OpenDev for Upcoming Strategy Game HUMANKIND

Players can apply now for a chance to participate and give feedback in 3 targeted gameplay scenarios as we prepare for the game’s release in 2021.

 

Paris – Community has always been at the heart of Amplitude: they have worked with their community to create every game that they’ve made so far, and Humankind will be no different! Rather than a classic early access, though, they’ve come up with a new twist on the formula that will help players give feedback in a meaningful and targeted way.

OpenDev is their new approach to community-driven game development. It allows players to join the dev team and help shape the game during its production.

WHAT IS OPENDEV?

Starting now, players can register for the chance to get access to 3 time-limited scenarios focusing on specific core features of the game (exploration, tactical battles, basic city management). Throughout the summer, scenarios will be released one at a time, and additional players will gain access with each new scenario drop. Any new access granted will include access to all the previous scenarios.

Each scenario concludes with a game design survey that will help the dev team level-up the game.

Registration takes place through the unique game co-creation platform, Games2Gether, and participation is completely free!

A 2021 RELEASE…

Like many other studios, Amplitude has been impacted by COVID-19. They’re lucky to have been able to transition towards working from home thanks to SEGA’s support. They have decided that to ensure that they give the community the best and most polished game, they will be releasing in 2021. 

More information on Humankind is available on the Humankind website as well as on Steam.
