A series of video diaries about the creation of the historical turn-based strategy Humankind, the largest and most ambitious in the history of Amplitude, will be divided into short videos. Together they will make up a large series of materials that comprehensively describe the game, with episodes released every two months on
Before delving into a detailed analysis of the features of Humankind, in the first episode of the cycle, the developers decided to present the game as a whole. They shared ideas that inspired them and why she means so much to them. The studio has previously worked on several 4X strategies like and two parts of Endless Space. Experience in the genre is estimated at 9 years, so the Parisian team is confident in their abilities.
The main presenters in the video are the founders of the Amplitude studio: the head of the company and creative director Romain de Waubert, as well as the main screenwriter of the project Jeff Spock. Among other things, the developers said that they are working with historians to make sure that the details of the game are as reliable as possible.
But at the same time, Humankind is also largely devoted to alternative history. What if the Roman Empire still existed? What if the samurai met the Babylonians? These scenarios in the game can be triggered from given historical blocks. The player will be able to create their own civilization by selecting and mixing 60 different cultures.
This and much more is covered in the video. More details on the groundbreaking tactical landscape, with many different biomes, hills, and natural wonders, are promised in upcoming releases. The Humankind strategy game is set to premiere in 2020 on PC.
